Christ on the PGA Tour (1965-1982)
Ages: 18+
CHRIST on the PGA TOUR (1965-1982) is the only book ever written about the Christian movement in American pro golf. It began sixty years ago, in 1965, when this author and other pros founded the PGA Tour Bible Study. Now, this fellowship flourishes with the world’s #1 pro golfer Scottie Scheffler, beloved by peers and fans alike, as its most prominent member.
Kermit Zarley, now retired from his 30-year full time career on the PGA Tour and its Senior/Champions Tour, tells many interesting and humorous stories about his fellow pros. But the main thrust of this book is how their faith in the risen Jesus positively impacted their lives as they met weekly for prayer, Bible study, and sharing of their faith together. The group’s influence has been so pervasive that it caused an anonymous pro to admit while having a drink at a bar, “Sometimes it feels like the darn Bible-study tour out here.”
