Dear Mulligan Society,
Even though you haven't seen a Mulligan Society post in close to a month now, thanks for your commitment to everything that's been going on! Your prayers and support of this ministry are what allow me to share with you the amazing things God has done through FCA Golf over the past month!
Ireland
As some of you are already aware, we had a wonderful camp in Ireland for the 3rd year now. The major difference about this year's Anders Forsbrand Ireland Junior Golf Camp was the weather! I don't think we could have asked for better weather in Ireland during the week. It felt much more like early spring in Florida!
In addition to instruction and competition, campers were challenged by the Biblical truth our team presented during the week. Several campers indicated that the talks they heard made an impact on them. "I really like the talks. They explained stuff about God and made me understand Him more," shared Brian. Josh said, "The talks actually changed my opinion a bit on God." "To my surprise, the thing I enjoyed most about the camp was learning spritually about Christ and God!" exclaimed Sean.
Our team was very thankful to see a third year attendee dedicate his life to Christ this year. Additionally, several campers who had attended in the past were much more vocal about their faith; and it was great to see how they had grown as leaders amongst their friends.
Breakfast with the Pros at THE PLAYERS
Upon returning from Ireland, we jumped right in to final preparations for our annual Breakfast with the Pros at THE PLAYERS Championship (right here in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL). For just under 30 years now, FCA Golf has offered a breakfast to high school and college golfers throughout NE Florida. Students and their coaches are invited to attend (at no charge) because of individuals and companies who underwrite the cost of their attendance.
This year we had a total of 800 attendees (650 students/150 adults)! PGA Tour Professional, Kevin Streelman, shared his testimony and interviewed good friend, Toby Mac, who also performed musically that morning. In addition to Kevin, the following PGA Tour Professionals joined us and enjoyed breakfast with the youth who attended:
Aaron Baddeley
Jonathan Byrd
Stewart Cink
Fred Funk
Zach Johnson
Jeff Klauk
Bryce Molder
John Rollins
Webb Simpson
Scott Stallings
Chris Stroud
Josh Teater
Garrett Willis
Mark Wilson
After Toby Mac concluded the morning's breakfast with a brief Gospel presentation, all teams and coaches received tickets donated by the PGA Tour to attend Wednesday's practice round.
I am thankful to report to you that 119 first-time decisions were made to accept Christ, and 64 lives were rededicated! Praise God for this great news!
Thank you to those of you who supported the Ireland Camp or THE PLAYERS Breakfast with your finances or prayers! You are making a difference, and I'm beyond grateful to be your teammate!
You are loved,
