2026 FCA Whole in One Golf Outing

The Central Ohio chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) will host its annual "Whole in One" Golf Tournament on Monday, June 22, 2026, at the Columbus Country Club. This highly anticipated event brings together community members, local businesses, and sports enthusiasts to support FCA’s ongoing mission to make an eternal impact on the lives of coaches and athletes throughout Central Ohio.


Participants can look forward to a full day of engaging activities, beginning with breakfast and concluding with lunch. The tournament features a variety of unique opportunities and challenges on the green. Golfers can participate in the longest drive and putting contests, as well as two closest-to-the-pin challenges. To add an extra layer of excitement, players will have access to two mulligans and two "grenades," allowing them to throw the ball. A major highlight of the day includes a hole-in-one contest offering a "Play with a Pro" experience at the Golf Room.


Local businesses are highly encouraged to participate in the "Whole in One" tournament as both sponsors and players. Joining this event offers companies a unique opportunity to network with other community leaders while demonstrating a strong commitment to youth development and local sports programs. Corporate involvement directly funds initiatives that mentor and equip young athletes, providing businesses with a meaningful way to invest in the future of the Central Ohio community.


The tournament also serves as a key platform to highlight FCA’s Golf Ministry. This specialized program focuses on reaching the golfing community with FCA's core values, using the game of golf as a tool for character development, mentorship, and faith-building. Proceeds from the tournament will directly fuel these ministry efforts, ensuring that coaches and athletes receive the support and resources they need to thrive both on and off the course.

Happy New Year to You! I hope and pray each of you were able to enjoy some much needed and deserved time with family and friends over Christmas and the start of the New Year. As we continue to move into this new year, I would like to ask you a question: did today feel any different to you? For many, the start of a new year brings motivation, anticipation and hope of a new day, a new year, and new opportunities. Goals and resolutions are made and, often, quickly broken and/or forgotten. The newness of another year wears off and we find ourselves making similar choices and focusing on the same priorities as the year before. January 9th is known as Quitter's Day as that is when most people give up on their New Year's resolutions. What about you? Where are you in your goals and resolutions? What would help you to stick with it? What if we made a conscious choice to make every day new? What if we started every day with a conversation centered around gratitude and focus on becoming new in Jesus? Paul speaks of this in his second letter to the church in Corinth, " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Each day is a gift from God. A gift that is to be received, valued and enjoyed by seeking His will for your life. We are taking this thought and many prayers for resiliency and tenacity into our 2026 plans for Central Ohio. We thank everyone for their support, participation, and prayers.
