Charlotte, NC – Jim Beatty, President of Jim Beatty Golf Ventures announced today that Greenwood GOLF, a driving force in the Black golfing community, is thrilled to announce the launch of Black 9—a dynamic publication that brings the vibrant conversations of the golf course to life. Through the shared experiences of tournaments, friendly rounds, golf trips, and conferences, Greenwood GOLF members have united to create a magazine dedicated to celebrating the intersection of golf, culture, and community.
Inspired by the legacy of publications like JET Magazine, Black 9 serves as a platform for dialogue on the latest in golf, a showcase for Black-owned businesses, and a celebration of the achievements within the Black community. Whether it’s uncovering unique perspectives on the game or connecting golfers to the broader cultural landscape, Black 9 is your destination for thought-provoking content that uplifts and inspires.
“Our goal is simple,” said Chris Word, Founder and Editor In Chief of Black 9. “We aim to unite the Black golfing community through compelling stories, resources, and opportunities that celebrate our contributions to the sport and beyond. This is more than a magazine—it’s a movement.”
To further strengthen the connection between the magazine and the community, Greenwood GOLF is offering Black 9 to golf courses nationwide, for a nominal fee. Golf course operators interested in receiving copies can reach out to info@greenwood.golf to join the growing network supporting this initiative.
Black 9 is not just about golf—it’s about creating a space where culture, community, and passion converge. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to elevate the game and the voices that shape it.
