"Back9Network is inviting everyone into the golf lifestyle, from those who are already part of the game to those who aspire to live the golf life...even if they rarely pick up a club." On Wednesday, January 23 (Demo Day), Back9Network will have four camera crews and a team of reporters, commentators and contributors covering all the different manufacturers and teaching exhibits. From Thursday through Saturday, Back9Network will have its crews scouring events and exhibits to cover all aspects of the year's top golf industry event.

We're eager to bring viewers inside this year's event," concluded Mr. Bosworth.
