The Masters
“Johnny said, “I learned long ago that golf is to art like dance is to music. Dance is a physical expression of the music; a golf shot is a physical expression of art. To be a great player you must be a great shot-maker. To be a great shot-maker, you must become an artist. All shots start with a blank canvas—the quality of our shot mimics the quality of our painting.””
Commentary:
This week is the Masters—“a tradition like no other.” Ben Crenshaw describes Augusta National as a very emotional course—meaning that the beauty, history, and relevance of the course is overwhelming. He also described how it takes artistry to master the test that faces each player. I have played five rounds there and experienced the powerful emotions that came to me just from the memories from watching through the years. I also remember working with and following my players there in the past and the absolute battle they had with the overwhelming sensory input they had to overcome just to pull the club back. While watching this week, realize that you too have times of sensory overload similar to the players at the Masters. In the same way, we have to quiet the noise and get to the blank canvas. And that is where our masterpiece can commence. We have to become an artist mixing in the eight colors of Philippians 4:8.
“…Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8
