College Golf Fellowship Inspires Lexington College Athletes

College Golf Fellowship Visits Lexington, Inspires Local College Athletes

Last weekend, College Golf Fellowship made a stop in Lexington, bringing together college athletes from various local colleges such as Francis Marion, Furman, Coastal Carolina, Augusta University, and the University of South Carolina. College Golf Fellowship, a sibling of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, aims to educate young men and women on the Christian faith. With over 20 staff nationwide, CGF works closely with college golfers, coaches, and professional golfers to instill biblical principles and values.

Hosting and Community Outreach

The event in Lexington was hosted by Wesley and Elizabeth Bryan, with Wesley Bryan, a Dutch Fork High School and University of South Carolina graduate, coaching youth during the program. The college athletes had the opportunity to visit a local government housing community, where they introduced golf to children using SNAG Golf equipment donated by the SCJGA. This act of community outreach allowed the young athletes to connect with the local community and give back in a meaningful way.

Inspiring Talks and Activities

Throughout the weekend, the theme of the event was centered around the question “Who is Jesus and why does it matter?” College athletes had the chance to hear from PGA Tour players like Ben Martin, who emphasized the importance of faith and a deeper meaning to life beyond just scoring birdies on the golf course.

Aside from the spiritual aspects, the athletes engaged in various recreational activities, including flag football, basketball, ping-pong, and baseball. These activities not only provided a fun outlet for the college athletes but also offered them a real-life preview of using their gifts and talents to benefit the community.

Local Support and Summer Opportunities

Local entities such as Timberlake Country Club, Riverside Golf Center, the Irmo-Chapin Recreation Commission, and Koosa Golf, along with several volunteers, collaborated to support the event and provide summer golf opportunities for youth and families in the community. This collaborative effort highlights the importance of community support and coming together to promote the growth of golf among young enthusiasts.

Overall, the College Golf Fellowship event in Lexington was a success, inspiring young college athletes to not only excel in their sport but also to embrace values of faith, community engagement, and personal growth. Through the support of local organizations and PGA Tour players, the event showcased the power of sports in bringing people together and making a positive impact in the community.
