Guilford Savings Bank Becomes the “Official Banking Partner of the CSGA”

(May 10, 2023) – The Connecticut State Golf Association is excited to announce that Guilford Savings Bank (GSB) will become the “Official Banking Partner of the CSGA.” GSB is a leading mutual financial institution with a nearly 150-year track record of delivering forward thinking, financial solutions for a wide range of personal, business, commercial, and digital banking services to customers throughout the state of Connecticut.

“GSB is proud to begin this 3-year partnership with the CSGA and back its mission to elevate the game and support Connecticut’s many golf enthusiasts,” said GSB’s President and CEO, Timothy Geelan. “Golf is a game that embodies the values we hold true, including integrity, discipline, and perseverance. As a bank, we strive to embody these values, and impart them through expert products, services, and consultation that deliver real value, and offer a brighter financial future for our neighbors.”

As part of the partnership GSB will become the presenting sponsor of the Connecticut Open beginning with the 89th Connecticut Open scheduled for July 24-26 at Shuttle Meadow Country Club. In addition, GSB will have a presence in CSGA videos, in the bi-weekly eRevision, and in the weekly Connecticut Edition of Global Golf Post, along with a presence on social media.

“I think we knew from our first meeting with the GSB team that these were exactly the type of folks we seek to partner with the CSGA,” said CSGA Executive Director, Mike Moraghan. “Further research and additional conversations confirmed our initial impression and we couldn’t be happier to establish this relationship with GSB. As we had been looking for better banking options within our own operation, this partnership is an excellent fit on multiple levels. We are excited that GSB will be the presenting sponsor of our most significant championship, the Connecticut Open, and we are happy to be conducting our daily business through our newly established GSB accounts.”
