hereby transmits the Company’s response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on August 25, 2023, regarding Registration Statement on Form

in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response. Concurrently with this response, the Company has submitted

Statement on Form S-4
Cover
page
1.
Please
tell us how your disclosure complies with Items 501(b)(2) and (10) of Regulation S-K or revise as appropriate. Further, we note in
Exhibit 107 that you are registering “up to 3,575,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible
debt” and “1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued along with the convertible
debt.” Please revise the cover page to describe and to whom these securities were originally issued. Additionally, your disclosure
indicates that you intend to issue Class B shares to TruGolf security holders, but those securities are not included in your fee
table. Similarly, you refer on page 232 to new “warrants” that you will issue as well as outstanding warrants, yet those
securities are not discussed anywhere else in your filing.
We
respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and advise in response that the Company revised Exhibit 107 of the Registration
Statement to remove the shares of Class A Common stock underlying convertible debt and underlying warrants.
The
Class B shares will not be registered under the Registration Statement, as they will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act.

Reconcile
the number of shares to be issued for convertible debt, as disclosed in the notes to the fee table, with the number in your disclosure
beginning on page 144.
