Genesis 22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. If all teaching professionals were surveyed as to the most common flaw with an amateur's…

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. During those long one hour and a half Tuesday and Thursday classes, my notebook in college was filled with sketches of golf course designs as my…

Titus 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. "Mashed potatoes" and "Get in the Hole" are just a couple things yelled out at golf events immediately after the golfer makes contact. The "yeller" tries to time…

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. The performance of an athlete is predictably unpredictable. The margins are so wide because of human inconsistencies and abilities. The lights of Las Vegas grow brighter…

2 Kings 6:5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. Something out of the ordinary always happens when I borrow someone else's tools or property. I once borrowed a wood chipper from a church friend for about…

Psalms 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am not chalking my issue up to "getting older", but I have problems visually picking up golf balls in the air and even sometimes when they sit stationary in the fairway. My vision is 20/20 with contact lenses,…

Luke 4:34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. Transcendent talent rises above everything else. The world knew there was something special with Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James at an early age.…

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Logistics has always fascinated me. The fastest and most efficient way to deliver a good or product requires much planning and strategy. Weather and traffic patterns may make a longer route more…

1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. You know the punchline to the common lawyer joke asking how a person knows when a lawyer is lying. Certain people irregardless of occupation and societal position are known to be…

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Remember when you first starting playing golf? We all had an awkward fear of totally missing the ball and someone seeing our swing in public. We hadn't…
