More Than a Golf Tournament | Brotherhood, Faith & the Men of St. Thomas More
Every first Friday in May, something special happens at Eagles Landing Golf Course. Thirty-five teams. Over 130 players. Fairways filled with laughter, friendly competition, and something that's hard to put into words, a community of men showing up for something bigger than themselves.
This is the St. Thomas More Annual Golf Tournament. And if you think it's just about golf, you haven't heard the whole story.
For the past 10 years, parishioner Liam Cahill has quietly organized this tournament as an act of stewardship not for recognition, but because he believes in what St. Thomas More stands for and what it does for families.
This year, the tournament saw its highest attendance since before COVID boosting a strong 139 players. Long-standing sponsors like Muehlebach Funeral Care and Gaughan & Connealy Estate Planning Attorneys have been there year after year, because they believe in it too.
That kind of faithfulness doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a community knows what it's playing for. “It’s important to give back with your talent, time, and treasures,” stated Cahill.
The dollars raised from this tournament ripple far beyond our parish family, helping provide personalized Bibles for every 8th-grade graduate, each inscribed with a handwritten, calligraphed note they can carry into high school and beyond. The funds also support teacher resources, because investing in educators is investing in children; new air conditioners for the school, meeting real and practical needs; the STEAM Lab, which creates innovative learning opportunities for students. This is what it looks like when men put their resources behind their values.
The golf tournament doesn't stand alone. It's part of something deeper, a culture of men at St. Thomas More who are committed to growing in faith together. The Men of St. Thomas More Program, currently being revived by Dustin James Rogge has long been a space where men gather on Friday mornings for faith formation, accountability, and the kind of honest conversation that makes you a better husband, father, and neighbor. Funds from the golf tournament have helped support this very program meaning every swing on the course is also an investment in the spiritual lives of the men in our pews.
Because a man who is rooted doesn't just show up on Sunday. He shows up on Friday mornings. He shows up for his family. He shows up for his brothers.
We live in a world that doesn't always make space for men to be vulnerable, to grow, or to lean on one another in faith. The men of St. Thomas More are building something different, a community where brotherhood is practiced, not just preached.
Where a golf tournament raises Bibles for graduates and laptops for teachers. Where Friday mornings are sacred. Where stewardship is a lifestyle, not a line item.
To Liam, Ed, Dustin, Chip, and every man who has teed up, written a check, or showed up at 6 AM, Thank you for leaving your mark beyond any leaderboard.
