Organic-Gro Pro Sponsors Shootout

Twenty-four of the world's best PGA TOUR professionals will tee off in the Shark Shootout, which will take place November 10-14 at The Ritz Carlton Golf Resort, Naples and on the Greg Norman-designed Tiburón Golf Club in scenic Naples, Florida. It's no secret, Norman's golf course designs are known the world over for their environmental sensitivity; while Organic-Gro is undoubtedly the most ecologically-friendly fertilizer available to homeowners and professional golf course superintendents alike.

NAPLES, Fla. -- Twenty-four of the world's best PGA TOUR professionals will tee off in The Shark Shootout, which will take place November 10-14 at The Ritz Carlton Golf Resort, Naples and on the Greg Norman-designed Tiburón Golf Club in scenic Naples, Florida.

The Shark Shootout is a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event which was created 16 years ago by Norman, legendary golfer, businessman and chairman of Environmental Institute for Golf's Advisory Council.

Organic-Gro is an ecologically-friendly fertilizer available to homeowners and golf course superintendents alike.

It is managed by the Greg Norman Production Company, a division of Great White Shark Enterprises. The two dozen PGA TOUR pros will be joined by another top performer, the all-around ideal organic based fertilizer designed by golf course superintendents, owners and distributors available to golf courses, Organic-Gro Pro®.

Rich Aleo, CEO of Regenerated Resources, makers of Organic-Gro, explains, "We're just thrilled to be showing Organic-Gro Pro turf fertilizer at the Shark Shootout. Considering Greg Norman's concern about the environment and the prestige of the event itself, we couldn't hope for a better synergy between the event and the message of Organic-Gro, namely that's there's a better way to fertilize that's safer in the long run for the environment and people as well."

It's no secret, Norman's golf course designs are known the world over for their environmental sensitivity; while Organic-Gro is undoubtedly the most ecologically-friendly fertilizer available to homeowners and professional golf course superintendents alike.

It's only natural that the most revolutionary concept in fertilizer chose to launch its new turf-tuned product locally to the environmentally sensitive Naples golf community. Organic-Gro Pro, which was specially designed by golf course superintendents, is on the cutting edge of the movement toward employing high technology to preserve and enhance the natural environment.

Organic-Gro fertilizer outperforms the leading chemical brands and is safe for the environment, people and wildlife. Organic-Gro Pro gives golf courses the brilliance and beauty while limiting the chemical exposure to golfers hitting the links. Organic-Gro Pro will not leach or run off, harming our vulnerable drinking water supplies.

Organic-Gro(TM) Fertilizers will be available at leading retail stores and nurseries nationwide. For more information call (866) 815-4839 or Bob Curtin in Naples at 239-348-8533 or visit www.Organic-Gro.com.
