Golf is one of the most difficult sports to play well. But practicing the sport can promote honesty, integrity, and patience. Golf can be enjoyed in an afternoon with your buddies, your family, or even business partners. A golfer can experience both euphoria and disappointment on the same hole.
Birdies, Bogeys & Blessings author Del Duduit says, “Everyone—even professional athletes—face similar struggles and successes like everyone else. It doesn’t matter if you have won a major championship in golf or you clock in at 7 a.m. at your office job, you will face challenges and you will also enjoy victories. But it’s how you deal with the problems and how you celebrate the wins that matters. And in the end, the only thing that really matters is your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Trophies are great and job promotions are fabulous, but none of that matters if you don’t know Christ.”
Being good at this sport requires endurance, humility, and practice. The same can be applied to your daily walk with the Lord. Duduit adds, “This book is not about golf. It’s about hope and what a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can do for you. I just happen to use well-known golfers and their personal stories to drive it home. They face struggles like you and me, but they also rely on their faith to get them through struggles.” Read about what some of the most famous golfers to play the game have to say about the sport, the God they love, and the faith required to hit a hole-in-one on and off the course.
The author of the Stars of the Faith series, Duduit has been published in Clubhouse Magazine, Sports Spectrum, and on ToddStarnes.com. He is a contributor for Athletes in Action, The Christian View and more. He also covers the Cincinnati Bengals for the Portsmouth Daily Times and is a regular guest on My Michelle Live podcast and on PJNET.tv.
