FEATURING: Ron ‘3-Putt’ Potter & Wes Kliner 

ORGANIZATION: Challenge Golf 

What if your next round of golf wasn’t just a game but a God-given opportunity? In this episode, Jim and Martha talk with Ron “3-Putt” Potter and Wes Kliner of Challenge Golf, who are using the fairway as a place for eternal impact – especially in the season of retirement. 

Ron, a former sales professional, stepped away from business to pursue a vision of reaching one million golfers with the Gospel. Wes, a retired attorney and judge, thought he’d keep working into his mid-70s, but instead answered the call to help lead this growing ministry. Together, they’re showing that retirement isn’t about slowing down; it’s about stepping into purpose. 

Through free monthly golf events, Challenge Golf creates space for real relationships with unbelieving and unchurched players. The Gospel is shared through serving participants, banquets, and intentional conversations, centered on the idea of a “mulligan”: a second chance we didn’t earn, pointing to the grace of Jesus. 

What you’ll hear in this episode: 
How free golf events are drawing in unbelieving and unchurched golfers 
Why relationships – not programs – lead to lasting impact 
A powerful story of a man who came to faith years after attending an event  
Their new 18-week discipleship journey modeled after 18 holes on the course 
Why retirees are uniquely positioned to mentor and disciple others 
The impact so far: 260+ decisions for Christ in recent events  

With new chapters launching across the Southeast, the opportunity is wide open to get involved, whether by inviting a friend, mentoring as a “caddie,” or helping start something new. If you’re a golfer, see how you can get involved with the mission of Challenge Golf!
