Golf Should Be A Team Sport

I played in a golf tournament yesterday and have decided that golf is much more fun as a team sport!

Our group did pretty good. We finished at 7-under par. There is no way any of us could have done that on our own...especially me!

Think about the benefits if golf was always a team sport:

• It would increase the chance of success.
• You could learn from each other's shots and swings.
• You would always have someone to keep you encouraged when you hit a bad shot.
• It would help you laugh more on the golf course.
• You could get honest critical feedback.
• Someone would be there to challenge you if your actions started getting out of line.
• You would have someone to help you loosen up and have fun with the game.
• You would have someone to validate your success story. (I made a 20 foot putt for an eagle!)

While these are all great reasons golf should be a team sport, they are also reasons why life was not meant to be lived alone. God designed us for community. As Christians we need good Christian friends who will provide us with all of those things listed above.

Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend."

Is your life one you are trying to living out all alone or do you have a team helping you out? I am very glad I had a team on the golf course yesterday. It made a world of difference!
