Proper Grip and Stance

Romans 10:15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" Those who teach golf first start with grip and stance before the club is even swung. Once those principles are established properly, he/she begins working on the weight…

Hurry Up

Psalms 70:1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!  We've all been in the scramble or pro am when all of the holes are backed up on a full course. There is nowhere to go! We were stuck in one of those log jams yesterday. The sky was…

What’s Your Motivation?

Romans 15:14 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. Why do we do the things we do? Do we play golf because we enjoy the game and the outdoors or do we have an internal desire to compete at…

Social Memberships

Psalms 122:1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!" Many golf clubs offer social memberships for those who don't play tennis or golf but wish to be a part of the club for dining, parties, and other gatherings. All churches have members who evidently only signed…

Good Swing!

Matthew 3:17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." On Tuesday, Webb Simpson's caddie Paul Tesori and his foundation hosted an All Star Kid's Clinic for special needs children prior to the start of the Wyndham Championship. Tesori's goal for the rapidly growing event is "to create…

Real Liberty

2 Peter 2:16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.  It's a good feeling to skip out of morning work for a semi-early tee time and see the group in front of you exiting the green. You immediately realize these guys aren't going…

Real Change

Hosea 14:8 O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress; from me comes your fruit.  Aiming further left to combat a slice is not a swing change. A swing change involves mechanically altering one's swinging motion in order to alter the angles…

Simmer Down

James 1:19-20 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Sergio Garcia has made the headlines this season for all the wrong reasons. The most recent incident occurred last Sunday…

My Terms

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man. The Wyndham Championship will be held in Greensboro, North Carolina this week. Those Tour card holders who are a little above or a little below the top 125 coming into the week acknowledge this week as "now or never." The regular…

Good Position

Isaiah 5:1 Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. On average, amateur golfers hit less than 50% of the fairways and only a third of the greens in regulation. Positioning in golf is everything. If you don't hit fairways, it's going…
