The 4th Annual Citrus Golf Trail (CGT) Open returns to Sebring's Sun 'n Lake Golf Club Nov. 6-8 and includes a Pro-Am Tournament on Tuesday, Nov. 5 starting at 8:30 AM. The Pro-Am will consist of local amateur golfers and members of the golf media paired with the Minor League Golf Tour's professional golfers who are in town for the CGT Open. Nearly 100 players from the Minor League Golf Tour (MLGT) are now playing on the PGA Tour or the Korn Ferry Tour. Find out who they are here.

"The Citrus Golf Trail is looking forward to hosting the MLGT once again this year for the 4th Annual CGT Open," said Jason Beatty, CGT director. "It's always exciting to host these professionals as they are outstanding young golfers with bright futures who we often see later on the PGA Tour"

The CGT Open winner will receive a check for around $10,000 plus the right to wear the prestigious Orange Jacket.

"We are thrilled to be returning to Sebring for the 4th Annual Citrus Golf Trail Open in conjunction with the International Network of Golf's (ING) Fall Conference," said MLGT's Scott Turner. "We are anticipating a great field of very talented professional golfers and several days of great golf in Sebring."

The fee to participate in the Pro-Am is $50/Sun 'n Lake member; $75 non-member. This includes lunch, prizes and cart. Male and female golfers are welcome. To register for the CGT Open Pro-Am, contact Jason Beatty no later than October 31 at Sun 'n Lake Golf Club (863) 385-4830.

The Citrus Golf Trail (CGT) is comprised of seven golf courses at six golf clubs and a partner hotel to collectively promote the Sebring area's quality golf courses that offer affordable golf with a unique play experience that visiting golfers cannot find in the typical golf resort atmosphere.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf.

In 2007, the idea for a network of local golf directory sites formed and GolfTrips.com was born. Today, the network consists of a site in all 50 states supported by national sites like GolfTrips.com, GolfGuide.com and GolfPackages.com. It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.
