A Golfer's Day with the Master Book

A Golfer's Day With The Master: Spiritual Wisdom from the Fairway by Dorothy K. Ederer, a Grand Rapids Dominican Sister, intends to help readers understand their golf games as part of their relationships with God. Light-hearted and innocently profound, Ederer brings her own long experience as a golfer to bear on this collection of prayers ("Psalms for the Golfer", "Beatitudes for the Golfer") and anecdotes (about players including Tiger Woods and Nancy Lopez). "We are often tempted to give up,/when we go off course/and in the rough,/failing to trust You'll guide us/back into play", she writes. At first glance, such prayers "and even this book itself" may make readers chuckle. But Ederer's book is a reminder that all of life's experiences, including its games, can make us more aware of God's blessings. And if readers learn that lesson, there will be a whole lot less tension "and a lot fewer temper tantrums" on the links. --Michael Joseph GrossRead More
