Virtual Chapter Meetings

Join James Ackerman in conversation with Austin Hatch on how he overcame unimaginable tragedy and traumatic events from a young age and later in college. After playing basketball for the University of Michigan, Austin has since developed the G.R.I.T. Framework, and is living out his true passion of speaking to and inspiring individuals and teams to overcome adversity. You won’t want to miss his amazing story!

The conversation with James Ackerman focused on Wally‘s lifelong journey of faith from FCA and CRU through more than 300 PGA tour events. He is the co-founder of the Links Players International and College Golf Fellowship, impacting lives on and off the course for decades. We will hear how his faith has enabled him to reach lives through ministry and through his love of golf.

An accomplished speaker and author, his books include the bestselling In His Grip and The Mulligan, co-authored with Ken Blanchard and later adapted into a major motion picture. Wally is a member of the Winter Park Country Club where he plays exclusively 125-year-old Hickory golf clubs and often shoots par with one club.
