MEN’S ONE-DAY RETREAT – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2010

– Golf is the only game you can never win, you can only play.” (Bagger Vance)

Whether you are a non-golfer, a novice or a scratch golfer, come and look at the lessons we can learn from golf about life! Golf, more than any other game reveals the strengths and weaknesses we have, not only in execution, but in thought and Spirit.

Join us for a fun walk (ride?) through a virtual golf round that will help us see how we cope with challenges and obstacles, deal with anger and frustration, and experience the joy of a good shot and so much more! At the end of the round the score will mean less than the lessons we learn and we will all be winners. Open to all men! No golf skill or experience required!

  8:30 a.m.  Donuts and coffee in Fellowship Hall
  9:00 a.m. Golf and the Spirit
