Video - Open Doors at the Gwinnett Champions Tour Event and Links Players Outreach

We at Open Doors for the Open are trying as much as we can to capture the Open Doors opportunities to highlight what our Lord is doing in golf as we lead up to the U.S. Open this June.

At the Champion's Tour Greater Gwinnett Championship conducted on the Champions Tour last month, it was a simple 4 hours drive to Atlanta for us from Murfreesboro, TN.  We teamed up with Ron Potter, the President of the Challenge Golf Association, Sam Woolwine, a member of the CGA staff, Don Midgette the President of the Board of Directors and Greg Powers, a member of the Board and lifetime member of the PGA Tour.  Our objective was to visit together during this trip and orient each other on each of our activities as we are trying to reach out to the world of golf and introduce Jesus Christ as well as disciple Believers.

We discovered several similarities during our dinner.  Then we attended the Night of Champions, Links Players Outreach to the local community and thoroughly enjoyed our time together with Larry Nelso, Tom Lehman, Tom Randall (Chaplain on the Champions Tour), Dave Marr of the Golf Channel and the company of several other Champions' Tour players in attendance.  The message during the Night of Champions was that God is active in the platform of golf, yet, only when men and women are obediently seeking His face and doing what He is encouraging and empowering them to do.  This movement in golf has been evident over the past 35 years.

The next day was round 1 of the Gwinnett Championship.  It was cold and wet, but, as you can see by the video, it was wonderful to see these gifted Players get ready, then head to the course and play with excellence this wonderful game we all love.  Jimenez broke through as expected and won the event with some stellar golf and some challenge from one of our favorite Brothers, Bernhard Langer.  It was a wonderful day and great opportunity.

LinksPlayers Evening of Champions - Gwinnett Championship - Video

4/21/2014

1 Comment

 
Last Thursday, I attended an Evening of Champions conducted by Josh Nelson, Southeast Regional Director for Links Players international....

It was conducted the evening before the first round of the 2014 RBC Gwinnett Championship on the Champions Tour,  Josh and I have become friends over the past few months as we are working together to conduct the Open Doors for the Open in Pinehurst North Carolina in June during the US Open; both Men's and Women's for 2014.  Josh has been instrumental in assisting in some introductions as well as coordination and participation in getting the outreach ministry put together. 

PictureDave Marr, Golf Channel
This Evening of Champions was highlighted by the moderation of Dave Marr, Golf Channel personality, and the son of former PGA Champion and 1965 Player of the Year, Dave Marr (see video).  Additionally Larry Nelson, Tom Lehman and a gentleman by the name of Tom Randall conducted a discussion on stage about their lives in golf as well as their life in Christ. 

It was a marvelous evening as Dave spoke about the history of the Tour when these gentlemen were playing at their peak, about the stories of faith and successes as well as some not so many successes..... However, throughout the evening there was an atmosphere of faith and hope while expressing deep comradery and fellowship in faith.  

Much of the talk was about golf history and their part in it.  Specifically, their experiences throughout the years in the Ryder Cup in which both Larry and Tom had incredible records of wins and critical performances in those crucial world golf events.  Of course they have had other successes, as well, such as the US Open, which Larry Nelson won in 1983 and twice won the PGA Championship in 1981 and 1987.  Tom Lehman, who won the British Open Championship, has a stellar record in the Ryder Cup and served as Captain, but, also was Player of the Year on three Tours; Hogan, PGA and Champions Tour,.  Well, Tom Randall spoke of a fourth, the LPGA Tour, but I have not been able to find that reference.  So, it was just a wonderful evening as they talked about their friendship and fellowship. 

The second half of the evening highlighted the story of the life of Tom Randall, the chaplain on the Champions Tour.  Tom has been the chaplain on the tour for some 15 plus years and the stories that were told by Tom, his pastor, Larry Nelson and Tom Lehman about God's work in bringing Tom to the Champions Tour.  Tom suffered many difficulties over his life and most recently was released from a Philipino prison after a harrowing 22 days where God was magnified through faithfulness and the prayers of His people.  It is an amazing story, a story of faith, and a story of Hope.  A story similar to that of Paul the Apostle who, of course, was in jail and ministering from prison to his faithful followers.

Tom had a very similar story and it was heartwarming and faith-building to hear as these men spoke about God's providence, and their lives on golf's biggest stage; the PGA Tour, The Ryder Cup and the Champions Tour.

It was a pleasure to participate in this evening and, I pray, that you will have the opportunity to experience the stories of these men, and God's work in the world of golf.

Thank you for listening or reading this story.

PictureCrenshaw bids adieu to the Masters
The 2014 Masters is over and the U.S. Open at Pinehurst #2 is the next major.

I can't get over how I'm reminded that the golf season really does begin at the Masters.  This year it did not disappoint.  
Once again, if you've ever been present on the grounds of Augusta National during the tournament, you can't imagine the beauty and atmosphere of the course, the "patrons", the fashion, the quality of the golf and the sheer grandeur of the entire environment.  If you didn't make it this year, be advised, next year www.opendoorsfortheopen.com (then to be labled OpenDoorsfortheMasters) may be there with a venue similar to what we're doing in Pinehurst.  Keep coming back to learn more about this eventuality.  Pray!!!

So, the attention turns back to the PGA Tour and competitive golfers from across America get ready for their own tournament season. The Tour will jaunt around it's regular spots; down to The RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, The Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Wells Fargo in Charlotte, NC, The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, etc. (more of the schedule here), but, our eyes, of course are on the U.S. Open for Men at Pinehurst #2, June 9 - 15 and the U.S. Open for Women on the same wonderful Pinehurst venue, June 19 - 22.  I am so excited coming off of the Masters and to enter into the golf season.  We pray you are as well and hope we can keep our eyes more focused on the Creator of All and keep His will and purposes on the 'first tee' of our lives. (corny, I know, lol, but true)

So keep coming back to our site for updates, subscribe to our social media posts and hand off our information to your friends and loved ones.

I, next, will be visiting the Evening of Champions at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, GA this Thursday night to meet up with Josh Nelson and the folks who frequent the Links Players Ministry and hobble around (just had knee surgery) the Gwinnett Championship at TPC Sugarloaf on Friday, April 18th to watch my favorite Champions Tour Players and fellowship a bit with Ron Potter and Sam Woolwine of the Challenge Golf Association.
