I played some golf in my younger years, but I never played enough to be good enough to enjoy it. But I do still enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon watching the final round of a professional golf tournament on TV. If you are a fan of professional golf, you are also likely a fan of Scottie Scheffler who is currently ranked number one in the world. His golf skills are hitting on all cylinders right now, and this past weekend, he won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte. Beyond his incredible skills, I love watching his demeanor on the course. He is steady and humble, and even when he puts himself in a tough position, he seems to keep his wits about him. Scottie's countenance on the golf course reflects what he hopes for in his life off the course. In an interview last Thursday he said, “I feel like I’ve been given a gift to play golf, but at the end of the day, the golf tournament is over,” Scheffler said. “You take your hat off, shake hands, and you move on. And so, my faith is such an important part of my golf game because it’s not only an important part of my life but it’s what helps me kind of realize that it’s not that big of a deal. I’m called to compete; I’m not called to go win every single golf tournament. Do I want to win every single golf tournament? Of course. But at the end of the day, that’s not what’s gonna satisfy my soul.” I love seeing people in the spotlight that are not ashamed to share how Jesus has changed their life.
