he CSGA and Back9Network, the golf lifestyle multiplatform
media network, announced a new programming partnership for
the 2014 season. The partnership aims to collaboratively create
and distribute “Connecticut centric” golf programming across their shared
distribution platforms.
The co-produced programming will regularly appear throughout CSGA’s

distribution platforms. The content will focus on localized, humaninterest stories and philanthropic initiatives that promote awareness of and participation in golf
around Connecticut.
Mike Moraghan, CSGA Executive Director, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture,
“Back9Network brings an imaginative spirit and a unique perspective to the golf media space, and
we are excited to partner with them across our various platforms. We have great stories to tell in
Connecticut, and in Back9 we have an ally that is committed to expanding the game and reaching a
broad audience. We couldn’t be happier with this new partnership and we are eager to get started
on our joint projects.”
“We are very excited to announce a programming partnership with the CSGA here in our home
state of Connecticut, which has an incredibly rich history in the game of golf,” said Back9Network’s
Chairman and CEO, James L. Bosworth, Jr. “We look forward to continuing our tradition of producing
original content that invites more people into golf with inspired creativity from our new partner, the
Connecticut State Golf Association.”
