Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2004

Ever since Tiger Woods burst onto American sports pages, it seems like everyone has started playing golf. The reasons are many, but an obvious one is that golf is a great game and a terrific family sport. Now PGA member Wally Armstrong and Mike Yorkey have teamed with Broadman & Holman Publishers to help your family learn the game of golf and the game of life at the same time.

The First Tee Shot combines a practical guide for teaching your children to play golf and ingraining biblical principles for life. This book will help parents bond with their children while teaching them the Bible.

I was looking for a book that would help me teach golf to my son. Nothing in this book's description tells you that it combines golf instruction with christianity. I would not have bought it had I known. I gave the book one star because I couldn't figure out how to give it less.

I agree with a prior reviewer. This is the first golf book I have ever encountered with Bible verses. A little strange, but the overall golf teaching concepts appear sound. The author obviously enjoys teaching children and juniors, but clearly views golf as a means to evangelize not only children but others we should encounter on the golf course. I understand this is the authors prerogative, but the book should be more clearly titled.
