Challenge Golf Association (CGA) Invitational @ Cleveland Country Club

This is the kind of golf tournament Kingdom Golf and Open Doors are proud to be associated with; the Challenge Golf Association Invitational.

What if you were invited to a golf tournament, truly an invitational, where you were invited by a friend or someone you may not even know that well, but, they contacted you and asked you to play @ a prestigious golf course, like Cleveland CC in Cleveland, TN.  You were told it was exclusively for you and about 50 others who would be playing the course for FREE!!  Everything, FREE!!!!

You show up and your friend is wearing a green Caddie bib.  He grabs your clubs and ushers you to your cart, to the Registration Desk and explains how the day will work out; "Well, thank you so much for coming today.  I know it can be difficult to take time off from work to play Cleveland CC for free (tongue in cheek).  I am excited to get to know you better today, in fact, I won't be playing today, but, will be your caddie.along with two other friends of mine we will be playing with today.  You don't know them, but, by the end of the day, I hope we'll all know each other better.  Please head inside and grab a drink and a breakfast sandwich.  We will be watching a clinic on the range in 1/2 an hour.  It will be given by former PGA Touring Pro, Greg Powers, a lifetime member of the PGA Tour.  I believe he will begin at 10:30 AM.  Please feel free to hit some practice balls, putt a bit and we'll get together at the range just before the clinic begins.  Once again, it's great to see you here."

Wow, that sounds pretty cool, eh?  That's just what it has been like this AM here in Cleveland as the Challenge Golf Association conducts another Invitational golf event.  The CGA is the brainchild of Ron Potter and his Dad as they had conducted golf events around the country over the past 35 years.  Ron is a committed Christian man who believes the game of golf can be a great platform to introduce male golfers to the fact that service and grace and mercy, the attributes of Jesus Christ can be shown on the golf course; showing the participants that even golfers can be Christ followers.  "The service aspect of what we do is the most compelling, we think.  At times, you can just see the reaction of the players.  This is something they haven't experienced on a golf course before." Ron says and continues, "We hear time and again, 'Who's paying for thing?" or "Where do I pay?" and when we say it's free, we get the greatest looks.  The second most important aspect of the event is the discipleship portion.  "We have asked our caddies to serve, but, it's more than that, we ask them to build relationships with their invitees.  Let's spend a year or so getting to know their guys and further show them the love of Jesus.  That's really our motivation."

The day got off to a great start with Greg Powers' clinic and golf began right at 11:30 AM.  We'll see how the day continues as we cover more of the Challenge Golf Associations' Invitational @ Cleveland CC.
