James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. The 280 yard par four is an invitation for great reward, but is also eye-candy for disaster as it is often surrounded by the risk of bunkers, water hazards or out of bounds. It usually comes along…

Proverbs 24:30-31 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. The boundaries of a golf course are clearly defined. White stakes, fences and…

Romans 3:23-24 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Golfers paint themselves as one of the most unlucky groups anywhere. When a putt lips out, a ball gets an unlucky bounce in the trees or an…

Luke 4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. A few times each season (or week), we fall out of love with our driver, sand wedge or putter. During these times,…

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, If you play late enough in…

John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
