Logos Golf Ministries Plan for 2022.
Logos Golf Ministries Scotland (LGMS) is a not-for-profit charity that gained Trust status in 2020. The Ministry has existed in one form or another for over seven years. The current Ministry has the twin aims of:
- encouraging the game of golf amongst golfers and non-golfers alike, regardless of age, gender and background; and
- promoting the relevance of Christian faith and values to the game of golf.
Front and centre of LGMS is the work undertaken amongst PGA professionals on Scotland’s (Tartan) Tour by Vincent Brown our Golf Ambassador and PGA Professional. Vincent has been playing on the Tartan Tour for 20 years and is well known among his fellow professionals and golf administrators in Scotland.
LGMS also runs an events programme. Our last ProAm, pre-covid, for example, attracted over 80 golfers (PGA Professionals and amateurs). Alison Nicholas (MBE), winner of the British and US Ladies Open and Solheim Cup Captain, was our after-dinner speaker. And our last golf day for amateurs, the smaller of the two events, attracted 28 golfers. Vincent had the opportunity there to share his experience of Christian faith and how this has shaped his professional career as a golfer.
We now look forward to 2022 when Vincent anticipates participating in approximately 25 PGA Tartan Tour events as well as running 5 mini competitions for his fellow PGA Professionals. These occasions allow new relationships to be formed and existing relationships to be strengthened and deepened as experiences of life and faith are shared.
God willing, LGMS also intends to run a full events programme in 2022.
In the past these have been subsidised to a degree through gifts and donations. This has helped to keep costs down for participating teams and individuals.
For UK donors paying tax, all your giving can be gift-aided. This allows LGMS to claim back from HMRC, 25p for every £1 you donate.
We deeply covet and need your support. If you have not already done so, we would like to invite you to become a golfing friend and supporter of LGMS.
Our only plea is that all our golfing friends and supporters (new and old) prayerfully consider the funding challenge we face in 2022, and we believe God will give the increase.
With every blessing from all at LGMS.
Ewen H Peters,
Chairman LGMS.
