The Christian Golfers' Association was founded and established as a national ministry in July 1996 primarily in an effort to provide opportunities for Christians to enjoy the game with fellow Christian golfers in a fun, clean environment. However, the founders quickly realized that God had His hand on the ministry. And, from the hundreds of inquiries received, that the Association provided much more than an opportunity to play golf! It offered its members tremendous potential to witness and spread the word of Jesus Christ to the many thousands of golfers, both Christian and non-Christian alike, who enjoy the game. Based in Sumter, South Carolina the Christian Golfers' Association is led by Tom Winstead, Sr., President, Tom Winstead, Jr., Senior Vice President, and a National Advisory Board elected from the membership.

ESTABLISH AN INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY THAT ENCOURAGES EVANGELISM AND CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
Bring together, under an "umbrella", the many and varied "pockets" of golf mini-ministries that are spread around the world. To unite them in a bond and common purpose in which to serve our Lord. "The pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:9, 17). Also, to promote and foster Christian fellowship, fun, and common interests among Christians while providing the means and natural opportunities for evangelizing and witnessing for the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ
Expert advice
Promote Christian fellowship on the local level through the formation of local CGA chapters. Local chapters will conduct regular monthly meetings and/or golf outings.

TEE SHOT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD
This is our single most ambitious under taking of all! That's why we call it a VISION for each year. In the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area, there are over 100 golf courses. Our goal (and our plan) is to completely take over 100 golf courses for a single day! Once a year CGA golfers and their guests gather at Myrtle Beach for a PRAISE RALLY & GOLF RETREAT. On a Friday evening, in a clubhouse, you will hear from some of the most inspiring speakers from the Christian community and the PGA Tour. The evening is usually capped off with some of the greatest gospel music and singing you can imagine. Early Saturday morning, on 100 golf courses, on each hole, Christian golfers - 8,000 of them - will be poised to tee-off at the same precise moment. On signal from the weather horn at each golf course you will be able to hear the "swoosh" as each golfer starts his backswing for -- "The Tee-Shot Heard 'Round the World!"
REGIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENTS
As Local CGA Chapters form and grow, they begin conducting regional golf tournaments for members and their guest. Chapters from throughout the region come together with the host chapter to enjoy a day on the course with fellow Christians and CGA members.
