Values

Model Godly Character: Showcasing the “fruit of the Spirit” on the course. This looks like staying calm after a shanked drive, showing patience with a slow group ahead, or practicing honesty when self-reporting a penalty stroke.

Make Good Work: Treating every “task” in the game with excellence and integrity. This means replacing divots, raking bunkers properly, and playing at an appropriate pace to ensure the “human flourishing” of everyone sharing the course.

Minister Grace and Love: Taking the initiative to serve and bless fellow golfers. It might be helping a playing partner find a lost ball, offering a word of genuine encouragement to a struggling beginner, or being the one who always buys the first round in the 19th hole.

Mould Culture: Influencing “the way we do things around here” to reflect better values. You can mould the club’s culture by being intentionally inclusive of new members, discouraging toxic gossip in the locker room, or fostering a welcoming atmosphere for junior players.

Mouthpiece for Truth and Justice: Standing up for what is right within the club community. This involves speaking up if someone is being excluded or treated unfairly by the committee, or advocating for fair access to tee times for all membership tiers.

Messenger of the Gospel: Being prepared to share the reason for your hope and joy. In the relaxed environment of a four-hour round, this means being open about your faith when asked what you did at the weekend or sharing how God has helped you through a difficult season.
