About the International Players Tour

The International Players Tour, operated by prior management of the Champions Golf
Tour (CGT), was launched in January 2008 for the purpose of bringing PGA style
competition to avid golfers everywhere. Operations began in April 2002 under the
banner of the Champions Golf Tour, which was founded by Ron Beaman in the Dallas/Ft.
Worth area. Ron developed a business model that would provide avid recreational
golfers a chance to play in an environment similar to major tour events - "inside
the ropes" for significant prize money - utilizing a proprietary handicap system.

After conducting its first event in June, 2002, CGT followed with 17 tournaments in
2002 and awarded nearly $60,000 in prize money. Significant and sustained growth has
occurred in subsequent years in player participation, number of events, and prize
money. With over 1200 players in their system, IPT management conducted over 150
events in 2007 within ten state and twelve metropolitan city areas with payouts
exceeding $570,000. In 2008, the IPT will conduct 200+ events in fifteen different
metro areas, culminating in the Tour Championship at the Horseshoe Bay Marriott
Resort in Texas, with the winner taking home $20,000 in GUARANTEED first place prize
money!

"The Model that Works" is now being adopted effectively and implemented successfully
in multiple cities, with projected expansion into 5-10 new markets each year -
including international locations - through a unique licensing rights program. See

About Basic Golf, LLC

Basic Golf offers high quality apparel that is cutting edge cool but won't cost you
a fortune. Using CoolDryT fabric, the SportCool and ClassicCool shirts wick moisture
away from your skin to keep you cool and comfortable especially during hot and humid
rounds. Each shirt is athletically cut and uses open hem sleeves and stretch mesh
ventilation under the arms for a lightweight and comfortable fit.

For years now, there has been a lack of high quality, in style apparel available at
reasonable prices. In the past, if you wanted to take advantage of moisture wicking
fabrics and cutting edge styles, you had to pay $60, $70. even $80 and up. The other
option was to pay a lot less, but get an inferior material and uninteresting colors
you didn't really care to wear. Not anymore! At Basic Golf you\'ll find a unique
product line that you can\'t find anywhere else. The newest shirts, hats and
accessories made with top quality materials including CoolDryT fabric. What you
won\'t find are the high prices!
