Os formerly owned and operated an ad agency in Atlanta for twelve

Bible School, a ministry of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa,
California. Os is married to his incredible wife, Pamela, and they
live in north Atlanta with their four dogs. Os has one daughter,
Charis, and son-in-law, Justin.
Birdies, Bogeys, and Life Lessons from the Game of Golf is filled
with entertaining and informative stories about golf legends as
well as many entertaining stories about Os's own golf life, which
began when he was eleven years old. But the most unique part of the
book is how Os brings spiritual lessons from the stories of golfers
to stories in the Bible, sharing the analogies that can often be
found between the game of golf and our spiritual lives. In fact,
ever since I met Jesus at the University of Florida in 1968, I have
used these golf metaphors to relate the game of golf to living a
life of faith. Os provides us with thoughtful questions at the end
of each day's devotional to get us thinking about the message.
From the Foreword by Wally Armstrong
PGA professional
Coauthor of The Mulligan
Author of Practicing the Presence of Jesus Arnold Palmer said, "The
road to success is always under construction." Os gets that and
uses warmth, wit, and grit in this unique devotional. The analogies
between golf and life make for an interesting read and quick
understanding of the life lessons. We all want to score high on the
scorecard that counts, God's scorecard. Like the hybrid club widely
used in the PGA, this book is both a gift to those who receive it
and a tool for the reader to use in life and relationships.
--Dr. Jay Strack, founder, Student Leadership University Over the
many years of knowing Os, playing many rounds of golf together,
participating in small groups, and reading his devotionals, I was
excited to see this new devotional about golf. I learned so much
about the household names in golf. Os provides insightful stories
of their lives and then brings spiritual parallels that we can
apply in our own lives. If you love golf, you'll enjoy how Os
brings to life the spiritual applications that can be derived from
the game of golf.
--Dan Van Horn, founder and CEO, US Kids Golf Once you begin
reading Birdies, Bogeys, and Life Lessons from the Game of Golf,
it's hard to stop. I couldn't tear myself away until I read five or
six. I know that golfers, and many others, are going to love
it.
--Richard C. McElroy III, AWMA(R), JD In his devotionals, Os has an
amazing way of connecting real life with everyday faith. Although
I'm not a golfer, I'm encouraged, inspired, and informed by these
Scripture-based insights. We all have a legacy to leave, and these
lessons from golf motivate me to embrace and pursue God's hopes for
my life, unhindered by setbacks, uncertainties, and fears of
failure. I'm inspired to get back out there and take another
swing!
--Dr. David Ferguson, CEO, Relational Values Alliance
