GOLF

Golf is a spiritual game. It’s like Zen.
You have to let your mind take over.
-Amy Strum Alcott, Golfer

All great sports depend on analysis and instinct. Golf does, too.

There’s a wonderful story about a rabbi from Israel who was invited to a conference in Florida. As it happened, his room backed onto a golf course. He woke up at 4:00am. After looking carefully around and seeing no one on the course, the rabbi, even though it was the Sabbath, took out his clubs and headed for the fairways.

Above, Moses noted this breach of religious etiquette. He went off to tell God, recommending that the rabbi be punished. God looked down just as the rabbi began his swing, and winked. The rabbi scored a perfect hole-in-one!

Moses protested. “A hole-in-one is punishment?” God just looked at him sadly for a moment, then said, “But Moses, it’s the Holy Sabbath; He can’t tell anyone about it.”
