25 Aug 06 A Good Walk Spoiled

A friend of mine who is an exceptional golfer played a round with an elder and a couple of church members his first week on the job.  After striking a ball, not so well, he gently tossed his club back toward the direction of the cart.  The club traveled with greater force than he anticipated (so he says) covered the distance to the cart in the air stopping upon imact with the canopy strut of the cart.  Upon said impact the club broke in two.  Way to make a great first impression.

 I had that on my mind as I went to play golf this morning with an elder and two members.  I’m happy to report that I broke no clubs.  I damaged no carts.  I said no curse words (that anyone could hear).  And 6 more golf balls were added to the kingdom via the waters of baptism.
