FCA Golf's Ireland Junior Golf Camp


Dear Mulligan Society,
  
In just 5 weeks, myself and 5 others will be headed to Ireland for FCA Golf's 4th annual Anders Forsbrand Ireland Junior Golf Camp.
  
As I've mentioned several times before, I don't think there's a better time than NOW for FCA Golf to be in Ireland.  The country has struggled economically for several years now, and too many of Ireland's youth look to the future with very little hope.  This continues to be evidenced by a high rate of suicide among later teens and young men.  From March 31st to April 7th, FCA Golf will again take golf to a country that loves the game more than our very own.  Using professional golf instruction and fun competition, the FCA Golf Ireland team will share with Irish youth the great news of a loving God who has given hope and meaning to our lives through His son, Jesus Christ.
  
Please join me in praying for the country of Ireland, the FCA Golf team going, and the impact Christ will have through us this year.
  
The 2012 FCA Golf Ireland team will be made up of 6 committed individuals.  Each of us are working hard to raise the necessary funds to cover the costs associated with this camp.  By each team member raising roughly $2,000, many costs typically associated with camp won't get passed on to campers' registration fees.  The result is a camp that is extremely affordable for the Irish youth to attend.  As this camp quickly approaches and final preparations are made, there are two specific requests I'd like to place before you:

  1. Please lift us up in prayer daily.  Pray that God's Spirit would overwhelm every person and detail of this camp.
  2. Please consider supporting this camp financially by giving a gift to FCA Golf--visit the donate page and reference "Ireland" with your gift.

I am thankful for you and your support in whatever you decide to do.  Your prayers and finances are eternal investments that make an eternal impact in the lives of so many!
  
I look forward to keeping you updated on all the wonderful things God will do in Ireland this year.  Thank you for partnering with us!
 
You are loved,

Inaugural Champions Tour Pro-Am

Dear Mulligan Society,

On April 22nd and 23rd, 2012, FCA Golf will be hosting its first-ever Champions Tour Pro-Am at Wexford Plantation on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.  

This brand new event will follow the Champions Tour's Liberty Mutual Insurance "Legends of Golf" tournament held in Savannah, Georgia.  Much like the Pro-Am FCA Golf holds at Isleworth Country Club in Orlando, Florida, every fall, golfers will be provided the opportunity to compete on a world-class golf course recently redesigned by Arnold Palmer and play with some of golf's most memorable professionals.  As of today, Fred Funk, Kenny Perry, Loren Roberts, Larry Mize, Larry Nelson, Tom Pernice Jr., Brad Bryant, Scott Simpson, Morris Hatalsky and Andy Bean have committed to playing.

The Champions Tour Pro-Am experience begins on Sunday evening, April 22nd, with a dinner for players and professionals prior to Monday's Pro-Am event.  During the evening's festivities, sponsors, guests and professionals will be able to mingle together while enjoying a fantastic variety of food and entertainment.

This inaugural fundraising event will not only help in underwriting the costs of FCA Golf's yearly programming, but also provides the opportunity for youth to attend a national FCA Golf camp, where they will improve their golf game, be challenged in their Christian faith and be encouraged to live out FCA's four core values (Integrity, Serving, Teamwork & Excellence) in their homes, schools and sports teams.

In addition to this upcoming event, FCA Golf is partnering locally with South Coastal South Carolina FCA in order to conduct a Junior Golf Camp and several ministry venues at the RBC Heritage, including: The Heritage Breakfast with the Pros, PGA Tour ministry with players, caddies and their families, and the Sunday morning Chapel Service on the 18th green that has featured past PGA Tour Winners.

Should you or someone you know have interest in participating in this inaugural event, see the flyer below for further details.

You are loved,
