The Carolina Mountain Pro Tour is approved and sanctioned by The Carolinas PGA, making it acceptable for section members to participate. The C.M.T. is currently in its 14th year of operation. The tour has consistently put together an outstanding schedule and it is especially coordinated and spaced out to not conflict with The Carolinas PGA, the Mountains Chapter or any other Tours in the area. The C.M.T. has been organized for the aspiring professional as well as serious amateurs. Most events take place on Monday and most are 18-hole stroke play events. We hope that playing on Monday will make it convenient for the working Club Pro, Assistant Pro, and mini tour players who play 54-hole events later in the week. We have streamlined the operating cost to maximize the purses and to keep entry fees low and affordable for all with a high return. Efforts are constantly being made to obtain tour sponsorship; however, our purses are primarily generated from entry fees. We will continue to guarantee 100% return of entry fees back to the purse less course cost, and PGA sanction fees. The only money used to compensate operational expense is from membership fees.
We greatly appreciate your interest in the tour and hope that you can find some personal benefit and pleasure by playing with us in 2010!
