And God Said, "Tee It Up!": Amusing and Thought-Provoking Parallels Between the Bible and Golf

Where do we encounter God? For the Christian — certainly — there is the Bible. For the committed golfer — at least when the drives are carrying and the putts are falling — there are the links. Gary Graf has brought the two together with a scorecard full of "amusing and thought-provoking parallels between the Bible and golf."

And God Said, "Tee it up!" takes readers on an entertaining tour of the worlds of golf and Scripture, revealing the many connections they share. In eighteen "Holes" you'll walk some of golf's greatest courses, including Oakmont and Oak Hill, Pebble Beach and Pinehurst, Saint Andrews and Spyglass Hill, and of course Augusta National, home of the Masters. You'll meet the greatest players in history — including Hogan and Hagen, Nelson and Norman, Palmer and Player, Watson and Trevino, Nicklaus and Woods — playing on renowned courses designed by the likes of architects Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Charles Blair McDonald, Alister MacKenzie, and A.W. Tillinghast.

In the midst of all this heavenly golf, you will find the Son of God himself, teaching by word and example that the kingdom of God has already begun, in chapters such as:

• In the Beginning
• Augusta and Apostles
• The Ball and the Word
• The Amen Corner
• Golf and Bethlehem
• Clubs and Talents
• Learn at the Turn
• Sistine Chapel of Golf
