My Passion

Robert Lynd - "It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place this world is when one is playing golf." 

People search their whole lives for the things that truly make them happy. I have been blessed enough to have found one of mine. 


One of my passions in life is the game of golf. A LOT of people find that both very weird and hilarious....but I don't care. The game of golf brings me a peace of mind; although, no one seems to ever understand why. GOLF is a way for me to escape all of the troubles in life. What some people find in reading or listening to music, I find in getting a little white ball into a gopher hole. When I am out on the course, I feel like it is just me, God, and His creation. 

1) If there are issues going on in my life- a round of golf gives me plenty of time to reflect on them. I have good, quality alone-time to regain focus on my priorities in life, and to figure out the best solutions for life's problems.

 2) I remember something my dad always told me as a kid, "Son, sometimes you just need some time with God." In a world of materialism and temptation, golf is one of the ways I find alone time with the Lord. If there are big problems going on in my life, I spend 18 holes praying and just talking with God.

3) Golf courses, in my non-expert opinion, bring out the best in God's creation. Just the way nature seems to perfectly mesh together to form something amazing astonishes me. There's nothing that can compare to a warm, sunny day out on the golf course. The only thing you hear is the wind rustling through the trees, birds chirping, and the occasional "Get in the HOLE!" from across the golf course haha.


I love the game of golf.

Lord thank you for all of the wonderful things you have planted in my life. I realize that everything happens for a reason, and there is a reason why I have been exposed to such a wonderful game.I just feel blessed, and I thank you.

Lifting up our hands and singing holy, 
You alone are worthy 
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart 
Glory, lifting up our voice and singing holy,
You alone are worthy 
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart" -Jeremy Camp
