“Almighty God, as we play through our 18 holes of life, we pray that you will give us a drive that’s both long enough to reach our goals, and yet straight enough to keep us out of trouble.
“Help us avoid the traps and hazards of life; nevertheless, should we find ourselves in them, give us the tools, skills and desire to escape them with no penalty. May we always stay in bounds.”
“Help us to be willing to stand by - and not play through - those in genuine need. May we always play with honor.”
“And finally, when we’ve putted out on the 18th green, we pray that we will have demonstrated the integrity of our character, so that you will judge us worthy enough to join your threesome and play eternally on your heavenly course. Amen.”
“You compare the things that happen in golf to your life, things like sand traps, hooks, slices, and out of bounds shots,” she said. “We set ourselves up for ridicule and shame.” Handicaps are something that we all have and that we shouldn’t be discouraged by them, Sister Dorothy Ederer said: “They often provide the push we need.” - Ederer’s book, “The Golfer’s Prayer Book, Walking the Fairway with the Master,”
