The ultimate Hole-in-one - a poem


I've heard that he had requested before
"Do you think that God plays golf."
And I've come to the conclusion
That God created golf
To show us how life is supposed to be lived

Like the golf
Life can be difficult
We start not knowing what to do
And the Christian life
Can be even more complicated

Both methods require patience
Both methods require persistence
Both methods require practice
Both methods require passion
Faith, trust and training are necessary

The desire to keep playing
And keep better
Back once again and again golfer
Golf and life both get to its knees
Remember the importance of humility

Coaching and training
Keep you cool in the game
Constant learning and growth
Improving the knowledge and practices
Skills development and perfecting capabilities

In golf, the appropriate position is necessary
Without this, launch side what you think
You know and start
Pass your position dictates where each shot will
Ultimately determine success

In life, your position is equally important
You must take a position for success
Take a stance of God and your beliefs
For how you will live your life.
For any type of legacy you leave.

The game of golf,
As the game of life.
A need for any other players.
No refs, no umpires
The challenge is to yourself

Your position, your swing, your grip
It is in your control
It is the choice you make,
How you are willing to grow
And accept that you will always be growing

Keep the eye on the ball
Keep your eye on Jesus.
We have miss hits,
In short, to find us
It may be a few extra shots to where God wants us

We have to pay the penalty for these extra shots
But we have never abandoned the game
There is no strike-outs, no foul.
God will never throw us off the Green
Even when us angry and discard our clubs

Golf, as in the Christian life.
There are no winners and losers.
This is the best we can be
And do the best you can
Whenever you are to develop

We are supposed to pick up our clubs
Head for the Green
Just keep hitting balls
Until God calls us home
The ultimate Hole-in-one
