Founded in 1999 this Competition is open to pairs representing a UK Church. The Cup has been won by Churches from Devon, Surrey, West Mids, Kent and others. There will be a Gospel chat during the prize presentation. Ideally a Christian will partner a not-yet-believer but this isn’t essential. Stage a golf event and send your winners to the Finals Day or just send a pair or four ball. Come and join us for a great day out.

Ladies and Gents are welcome.

It's a great day, we'd love for you to join us!

The full finals day cost including coffee/bacon roll/green fees/prizes/meal is £49 per person.

Saturday, 20 August saw the CGS National Church Golf Cup 2016 take place at Waterstock Golf Club, Oxfordshire. 24 players played in pairs to compete for the national title coming from Cheshire, Northants, Essex, West Midlands and Surrey.

The nearest the pin prize was taken by Dave Holmes.

In this Olympic year, Mark Blythe a London 2012 Torch bearer was our special guest speaker. Mark spoke of how things aren't how they first appear in sport and life. He said that as his life has had different twists and turns, circumstances made him reassess what he thought he knew about Jesus, the Church and the Christian faith. He was surprised at what he found, and how excellent it was. He challenged us all to explore the truth behind Jesus for ourselves.

Eventual winner Julie Eady said, "We had a great relaxed day of golf and friendly competition, I'd recommend golfers out there to enter and come and play next year!".
