I Played 90 Holes of Golf in One Day (for a Good Cause!)

Published on by nickcady2 Comments

Yesterday morning I played 90 holes of golf in one day as part of a fundraiser to support YoungLife in the St Vrain Valley.

I had a partner (Dave!), and we played modified Scotch (new to me!), which meant that we alternated taking shots with the same ball, and once you got onto the green, it was an automatic two-put, and if you hit it within a putter’s length of the hole, it counted as in.

These rules kept us moving fast, and kept our scores low! Originally, I only signed up to play 45 holes, but we were having such a good time that we decided to keep going all day. In total, we were on the course for 10 full hours.

We played so much, that I actually broke my driver by hitting the ball! Hopefully it will get replaced under warranty.

I was glad to get to play Fox Hill Country Club, and even met a member there who attends our church.

YoungLife is a great organization; both my high schoolers attend their gatherings, and my wife volunteers as a group leader. YoungLife specializes in building relationships with teenagers, many of whom have no connection to a church, and walking with them through the highs and lows of their teen years, and introducing them to Jesus.

YoungLife is still hoping to raise more money to help with costs for events and staff, so if you’d like to contribute to the fundraiser you can do so here: St Vrain Valley Young Life Golf Marathon Fundraiser

Youtube LIVE Update + Local Opportunities to Connect

Published on by nickcady6 Comments

Last Thursday I hosted a YouTube LIVE Q&A for the first time, and it went better than I expected!

I answered questions about politics, the Holy Spirit, suicide, and demonic possession – and more people tuned in than I had anticipated!

Here’s the video of that recording if you’d like to watch back. If you turn on the comments, you can see people posting their questions and feedback.

We’re Doing It Again!

Since it went so well, we are going to be doing this more regularly; we’re currently aiming for doing it weekly on Thursdays – so please join us for that, and please help us spread the word about it, so more people can be part of it and ask their questions!

On this particular occasion, I will be going live from the clubhouse of a golf course because I already had a tee time scheduled before we decided to start doing these live Q&A videos! So please join me in praying that the wifi works well at the clubhouse! And if you want to see my golf attire, you’ll have to tune in!

Here’s the link for that scheduled video, and with this you’ll also be able to watch it (or re-watch it) afterwards:

This Weekend: Rhythm at Roosevelt + Live Q&A On Site!

This Saturday (September 21, 2024) is the Rhythm at Roosevelt festival in Longmont, at Roosevelt Park from 2-10 PM.

White Fields Church will have a booth there, so please come by if you attend. We will be handing out popcorn and free swag and hoping to connect with many people in the community.

As part of our time there, we will be doing a Live Q&A, which will be broadcasted on YouTube, and people will have the opportunity to ask questions in person as well.

Here’s the link for that YouTube event, if you can’t come out in person:

Golf Marathon for YoungLife in the St Vrain Valley

On Monday, Sept. 23rd I am participating in a fundraiser to support YoungLife in the St. Vrain Valley. To raise money, I will be playing a marathon of 45 holes of golf in one day!

My wife Rosemary volunteers with YoungLife and both my high schoolers attend their gatherings. YoungLife specializes in building relationships with teenagers, walking with them through the highs and lows of their teen years, and introducing them to Jesus. YoungLife establishes mentoring relationships between Christian adults and teens, many of whom have no connection to church.
