Several companies have stepped into a sponsorship role for the ING Fall Forum, set for Nov. 28-Dec. 1 at the charming Inn On The Lakes in Sebring, Fl. The International Network of Golf will conduct a gathering of golf media and business executives for the purpose of networking, pro
duct introduction, information sharing, golf and general memory making.
Proud 90 has signed on as the official apparel company for the ING Fall Forum, and will showcase its unique line of men’s and women’s golf shirts and pullovers in a 20-minute press conference during the event. Other companies participating in press conferences include Buckets Golf, Makefield Putters and Zero Friction Golf. Many of those companies will participate in prizes and giveaways, as will OnCore Golf. The Citrus Golf Trail is the host sponsor.

rtable and best-fitting polos on the market. Match that quality of construction with eye-catching designs, and it’s a winning formula.”

In combination with golf driver weight technology in the putters, Makefield Putters have endless customization options.
CITRUS GOLF TRAIL is the Golf Value Destination of America. The courses build on the natural beauty of authentic Florida. Many wind around moss-covered oaks and preserves that provide a great backdrop for course designs. The courses include Sun-n- Lakes, Country Club of Sebring, Pinecrest, Golf Hammock, Sebring Municipal. and River Greens. Inn On The Lakes is among the hotels that package with the golf courses.
BUCKETS GOLF was founded by two weekend warriors whose love of the game far exceeds their ability to play, but never let that get in the way of a good time on the golf course. Buckets Golf equipment and apparel will bring the fun without compromising on quality.

Citrus Golf Trail Open, a Minor League Golf Tour event at Sun ‘N Lake Golf Club with a $20,000 first prize to the winning professional. The Tuesday morning Pro-Am field will be limited to the first 30 ING attendees to register.
