What Players Are Saying About The
Sunbelt Senior Professional Golf Tou
r

"I have been a member of the Sunbelt Senior Tour for the past 6 years and find it to be the wisest and safest place to invest your money for tournament competition. This opinion comes from having played on several other (now defunct) tours. As a tournament professional, I know that strong competition is the best preparation in reaching my personal goal of having success on the Champions Tour. With strong and committed corporate financial involvement, the Sunbelt Tour, with full 90 player fields, would be the last step in leading to the Champions Tour in the future."

Tim Conley, Cumming, GA
Two-time Nationwide Tour winner

"The way most players get onto the Champions Tour is by having played on the PGA Tour and having attained over $10 million in lifetime earnings. I gained experience and earned my way onto the Champions Tour by being the leading money winner on the Sunbelt Senior Tour from 2005 through 2007, while winning over 20 tournaments. There is no doubt that this background helped to propel me to the 12th position on the Champions Tour money list in 2009. I recommend the Sunbelt Tour for quality courses, exciting prize money, and stiff competition."

Gene Jones, Orlando, FL
2010 Champions Tour Member

"I have enjoyed playing on the Sunbelt Tour immensely because of the top notch organization of the events, the quality of the courses, and the strong field of players. This is not a "fly-by-night" organization where one has to worry about credibility. Don & Yvonne Barnes are two of the nicest people that I have had the pleasure of knowing. I very much look forward to making my "comeback" on the Sunbelt Tour - I know it will help me develop and improve my chances of playing on the Champions Tour again."

Ken Green, W. Palm Beach, FL
5-time PGA Tour Champion



"In my opinion, quality competition is more important than practice, and the Sunbelt Senior Tour is a great proving ground for anyone aspiring to play on the Champions Tour. Don & Yvonne Barnes have run this tour for the past 15 years with honesty and integrity and have never failed to pay the players. I personally have been a member for 10 years and will continue to play the Sunbelt Tour when my schedule permits. I am pleased to recommend this tour!"

James Mason, Dillard, GA
Champions Tour Winner

"I can say with total confidence that the Sunbelt Senior Tour is a professional golf tour that is worthy of corporate sponsorship. I give the Sunbelt Tour and Don Barnes, its' founder, a hearty endorsement. Don is a man of integrity and really runs a tour as well as a mini-tour can be run. He picks great venues, treats the players well, and his heart is in the right place. It is with all that in mind that I wish the Tour every success in finding corporate sponsors to pick up the ball and get involved with senior professional golf."

David Ogrin ..... LaCantera Texas Open Champion, PGA Tour
New Braunfels, TX

"I have played on the Sunbelt Senior Tour for the past 3 years and have greatly enjoyed playing against some of the best players in the world. I would encourage all senior professional golfers to consider participating on this tour because it offers a great environment to enjoy golf in a friendly, but competitive, atmosphere. I must add that the Sunbelt Tour is very well managed and run by a professional, ethical, and very committed team of people."

Graham Banister ..... 2010 European Senior Tour Member
Sydney, Australia


"I have played on the Sunbelt Senior Tour for the past 5 years because I feel this is the best way to prepare for the Champions Tour. I think we are entering a new era in senior golf and there is a great need for a tour that offers high quality competitiveness for golfers to develop their game. Securing more sponsor involvement will help purses to grow and make the fields even stronger. I think there is no limit to how successful this tour can be going forward in 2010 and beyond."

Dave Rummells ..... 2-time Nationwide Tour Winner
Kissimmee, FL


"When I look back on the years I played on the Sunbelt Senior Tour, I have so many fond memories and am glad I decided to go from South Africa and play on this tour. Up until that stage, I had been an amateur for 48 years. By playing in the Sunbelt events, I got everything I needed to compete on the big tours; competition, how to conduct myself, course management, etc. Don Barnes
ran the Sunbelt Tour to perfection by putting his heart into it and he is still doing a wonderful job. I can only thank GOD for letting him come into my life." Really hope to return at least one more time.

Bertus Smit ..... European Senior Tour Champion
Capetown, South Africa



"I have been fortunate to have played on the Sunbelt Senior Tour over the last 10 years as I have pursued my professional career and currently stand 4th on the Sunbelt Tour lifetime money list. The tour has been a very competitive place to play and keep my game sharp. Even though I am exempt on the Champions Tour in 2010, I will continue to play on the Sunbelt Tour when my schedule allows. I appreciate the sacrifices that tour owner, Don Barnes, has made in providing a professional environment in which to compete.

John Ross ..... 2010 Champions Tour Member
Bramwell, WV

"I have played on the European Senior Tour for ten years and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that my success has been in no small part due to the experience that I have gained on the Sunbelt Senior Tour. It is the lifeblood of the major tours and essential to the development of a professional game. To play golf at the senior level under tournament conditions is invaluable. Corporate support of the Sunbelt Tour is essential for its survival and will be money well invested."


Nick Job ..... 5-time European Senior Tour Champion
Ditton, Surrey, England
