Links Players Media

With the Links Letter magazine leading the way, Links Players media reach out to golfers before and after their commitment to Christ. The Links Letter itself is an annual publication designed for outreach. It features testimonies of professional golfers and business and political leaders who enjoy golf. Many golfers use the Links Letter as an initial outreach tool to their non-believing friends, as do churches and other organizations hosting golf events. More than 30,000 Links Letters were published and distributed each year in 2005-2008. For those established in the faith, the Links Daily Devotional is a beloved reading each day from Scripture for golfers. Additionally, various related and supporting resources complete our many offerings.

Links Fellowships

Throughout the world, many local groups of golfers have come together to form Links Fellowships. While these groups come in many different sizes and are made up of all variety of golfers, the Fellowships have two things in common. They are about golf, and they are about God. Some groups have only a handful of members, others are made up of hundreds. Some groups meet weekly, others monthly, some only quarterly. Some groups play a lot of golf, others just a little. But all groups possess the desire to share Christ as a common bond and as the only Savior to those who do not know Him. Links Players International supports these Fellowships through the direct ministry of our regional directors, by serving as a central contact point for all group leaders, and by supplying resources for Bible study, outreach, and group growth.

Supporting Links Players

.Like nearly all ministries, Links Players is supported financially and prayerfully by believers everywhere who share our vision. Funds donated to Links Players through cash or stock assets support the development of further outreach tools, building avenues of communication among Christ-centered golf groups, and enabling the Links ministry staff. Those whose donations total more than $1,000 per year we call Links Caddies. We are thankful for the regular support of these donors and make an effort to communicate with them frequently about the progress of the ministry.
