[Charlotte, NC] — Greenwood Golf is proud to announce the launch of Black 9, a groundbreaking publication born from the countless golf tournaments, friendly rounds, golf trips, conferences, and conventions that have brought together a vibrant community of players and enthusiasts.


Black 9 is more than a magazine—it’s a movement, a destination for the latest conversations happening on and off the golf course. Just as JET Magazine connected communities and highlighted culture, Black 9 is here to spotlight the intersection of golf, Black-owned businesses, and the broader Black community.


“Through the spirit of Greenwood Golf, we’ve always sought to foster connection, growth, and opportunity,” said Chris Word, Founder/Editor-In-Chief of Black 9. “With this magazine, we’re continuing that mission by creating a platform that celebrates culture, fosters education, and empowers our community through the lens of golf.”


What to Expect from Black Nine:

  • Conversations that Matter: Engaging articles capturing the latest discussions from the course, from strategy to camaraderie.

  • Spotlight on Black Excellence: Featuring Black-owned businesses, industry leaders, and changemakers in the golf world.

  • Community-Centered Content: Highlighting initiatives, events, and organizations working to strengthen Black communities.


This quarterly publication promises to bring the passion of the game to life while celebrating the rich culture and contributions of Black golfers and entrepreneurs.


For those who have longed for a publication that reflects their experience on the course and in the community, Black 9 is here.
