Description

In The Golfer’s Rule of Life: A Yardage Book for Soul & Play, Joshua Case—Episcopal priest, former golf teaching professional, and lifelong outdoorsman—invites readers to discover the sacred rhythm that connects the game of golf and the journey of faith.

Drawing on Christian tradition, Celtic spirituality, and years of life on the course, Case reframes the familiar “rule of life” through the language of play. Each short reflection pairs Scripture, meditation, and practice with a swing thought for the soul: Begin with Intention. Honor the Rhythm. Practice Presence. Welcome the Elements. Be a Curious Companion. Walk with Reverence. Receive the Unexpected. Play the Long Game. Finish with Thanks.

More than a golf devotional, this book is a spiritual companion for anyone seeking presence in motion and peace amid life’s pace. It offers a way to move through both fairways and daily routines with awareness, humility, and joy.

Perfect for golfers, retreat leaders, small groups, or anyone longing to live with intention, The Golfer’s Rule of Life reminds us that every round can be holy ground, and that grace meets us—in the swing, the silence, and the shared laughter along the way.

For readers of: Richard Rohr, Thomas Merton, John O’Donohue, or anyone drawn to contemplative spirituality and embodied prayer.
