Just Go

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. This Monday was the final regular pro am event for our local PGA chapter. Looking back, I played in over 20 golf tournaments, scrambles and pro ams this season. And for the first time in as…

My Kind of People

Philippians 1:3-5 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. Each fall I think back on how many new people with whom I played a round…

Line On A Ball

Exodus 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. Golfers draw line on their golf ball to indicate the direction of a putt. This line not only helps to show direction, it can be used to indicate our possession when our direction…

Worser and Worser

2 Timothy 3:13-14 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; Seemingly, the harder we try to get better at something, we worse we tend to become because…

No Change

Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Saul was encountered and blinded…

Game For Gentlemen

Psalm 26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners. We enjoy the game of golf because it was created to be a sport among gentlemen. It is a game of integrity without the need of referees or umpires. It is a game without violence or fear of serious injury. Plus, there isn't a lot of physical…

Keeping The Grass Cut Low

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The grass is cut low on a putting green so that the roll of the ball is…

Old Golf Towel

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. We all have that one golf towel. This towel stays in the golf bag and is rarely (if ever) laundered. It dries…

Backed Up

Psalms 69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. You know the feeling. Your twosome is stuck in the middle of four foursomes. If you don't play golf, it's like being late and behind that farm…

I Did That

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. People tend to get excited. When they sink a putt from 30 feet, they scream and…
