A golf competition and dozens of different youth events are encouraging supporters of Scripture Union in Scotland. John MacKinnon writes:
I recently participated in a four-player team Texas Scramble golf day hosted by Scripture Union Scotland at Lenzie Golf course. Texas Scramble is a form of team competition in golf. In the purest, simplest form of Texas Scramble all members of the team – teams are normally of three or four players – tee off. Then one of these drives is chosen to be used for the next shot and all members of the team place their balls where the chosen drive ended up, and all the team play a second shot from this spot.
Understandably, like most ministry charities, they were having to raise a flag for funding following the difficulties of ministry amidst the pandemic, especially when so much of what they do is in schools, residential centres, and face-to-face events with young people. Fourteen teams gathered for a well-organised day which allowed the charity to make an appropriate appeal and to report on incredible creativity.
