The Compton Country Club Initiative (CCCI) strives to improve the lives of Compton residents by offering affordable golf, fostering community through events and resources, and providing educational support.

Founder Chris Staples

After moving back to LA in 2023, CCCI Founder Chris Staples learned about the closure of the Compton Golf Course and felt compelled to take action.

The course had been a vital part of the community, providing a place for golfers of all ages and skill levels to play. This inspired him to establish CCCI.

In addition to founding CCCI, Chris, also known as the Swing Liaison, coaches and manages APGA pro and Compton native Aaron Grimes.

With experience as a caddie on the PGA Champions Tour and a background in golf and tech retail management, Chris also serves on several foundations, including the Pinkney Foundation, and has served as president of the Sacramento Area Black Golfers Club.

As a native of LA and a former elite junior and collegiate golfer in Southern California, Chris never imagined he would have the chance to make such a significant impact on the game of golf.
