the record

Mike Woodard is a husband, father of three, and lifelong golfer from Cartersville, Georgia. He has been married to his high school sweetheart and beautiful bride, Nicole, for 15 years. Together, they are raising three boys, Kason 12, Kash 10, and Kannon 3.

Mike is the founder of High Handy Caps and recently launched an insurance benefits company. But if you ask him what matters most, it is simple. His faith, his family, and living a life that makes an eternal impact.

Golf has always been part of Mike's story. But the role it plays in his life has changed in a big way.

There was a time when golf was not just an escape. It was everything. It was selfish. Completely selfish. Mike will tell you himself, he did not think about anyone else. Not his family. Not his purpose. Just himself.

And it almost cost him everything.

Today, that same game means something completely different.

His game may not be what it once was, but he would not trade where he is now for anything. Because now, golf is about people. It is about connection. It is about the conversations, the laughter, and the relationships built along the way.

That belief is what led to the creation of High Handy Caps, built around the idea that golf is not defined by the shots you hit, but by the moments between them.

What once pulled him away from what mattered most has now become a platform to live it out.

A platform to bring light, to create joy, and most importantly, to glorify God.

Because there are not many places where you get four uninterrupted hours walking side by side with someone. Talking. Listening. Encouraging. Investing. Mike believes that is not by accident. That is an opportunity.

So when his friend Zach Brown shared what LIVE2540 is doing through their children's health center in Liberia, Mike did not hesitate.

This is what it is all about.

Redemption. Purpose. Impact.

In June, Mike will spend 38 plus hours swinging a golf club. But this is not about endurance. It is about purpose.

It is about children who need healthcare.

It is about lives that can be saved.

It is about souls that can be reached.

LIVE2540's mission is rooted in Matthew 25:40, "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." That truth is the foundation behind the name, and the heartbeat behind this mission.

And here is the reality.

Thirty eight hours of golf sounds like a lot.

But thirty eight dollars can help save a child's life.

That is it.

This is bigger than one person. This is an invitation.

An invitation to be part of something that truly matters.

To give. To share. To step in and make a difference.

Mike is not just playing golf. He is inviting you into a story of redemption, purpose, and impact. Because together, we can change lives. And that is a mission worth showing up for.
