Sunday Service: July Edition
JULY 5, 2026 -
Every week, we count down to a tee time. Then somehow… four hours disappear.
The conversations fade, the scorecard gets folded up and the clubs go back in the garage.
Before long, you’re already wondering when you can do it again.
Maybe that’s the beauty of golf, the round never lasts as long as you’d like.
That’s why it’s worth making every one count.

The conversations stop. The practice swings are over. The green goes quiet. It’s just you, the ball, and whatever’s running through your mind.
We spend so much of life doing the same thing. Looking behind us at mistakes we’d love to take back, or racing ahead to problems that haven’t happened yet. Meanwhile, the only moment we can actually do something with is the one we’re standing in.
Be where your feet are. Read the putt. Trust your line. If it drops, great, if it doesn’t, you’ll deal with the next one when you get there.

What goes through your mind when you walk to the tee box?
How far you’ll hit it? The drive you just missed? A swing thought you’ve been trying to trust? Or something that has nothing to do with golf at all.
The tee box is a funny place like that. It gives you a few seconds where it’s just you and your thoughts before the ball ever leaves the clubface.
Whatever’s on your mind, make sure it’s helping you move forward.

Every course has a sign like this somewhere.
“You, the golfer, are responsible for the consequences of the ball you hit.”
It’s there for liability. But it’s not a bad way to look at life either.
Every swing has a result. Some end up exactly where you pictured them. Others leave you punching out from behind a tree wondering what happened.
You can blame the wind. The lie. The clubs. The greens. Your playing partners.
Or you can own it.
Accountability isn’t beating yourself up after a bad shot. It’s being honest about the shot you chose to hit. It’s accepting the outcome, learning from it, and stepping into the next one without carrying excuses.
Life works the same way.
The conversations you avoid have consequences. The promises you don’t keep have consequences. The effort you choose not to give has consequences. So do the decisions to show up, put in the work, and do the right thing when no one’s watching.
We don’t control every bounce.
We do control how we prepare, the attitude we have and the effort we put in. The scorecard doesn’t care about excuses.
Neither does life.
Own your shots. Learn from them. Then step up and hit the next one.
