College Golf Fellowship has announced its winter retreats for college golfers and the slate is as good as ever, with retreats hosted by Webb Simpson, Tom Lehman, Martin and Gerina Piller, and Trey Mullinax with MLB pitcher Kendall Graveman. It’s a great chance for young players to spend time with their heroes and role models.
 
“This has been the thrust of our ministry for a long time, getting guys away for a weekend so they can get some biblical teaching and see what a genuine relationship with Jesus looks like through the relationships and through the teaching,” says CGF’s executive director Steve Burdick.
 
Of course, the retreats aren’t just for guys anymore, as Gerina Piller hosts a women’s-only retreat Dec. 17-19.
 
Retreats are offered from Dec. 8 through Jan. 6 and interested college players can sign up at www.collegegolffellowship.com/retreats. The retreats are free once a player is on-site.
 
“We get participants from all different faith backgrounds,” Burdick says, “so we’ll have some who have never darkened the door of a church to guys that are solid believers coming together, having some fun, and getting some good teaching, and seeing the gospel lived out in front of them—that’s our hope.”
