Sermon On Golf - A Source Of Life?

Contributed by William Meakin on Jun 23, 2025

Golf is defined as a game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball with dimples is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground, the object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course.
