I used to like golf--not so much anymore. I rarely hit a good shot much less have a good round, at least in terms of score. But I still love to play golf because you get to spend several hours with some good friends and catching up on life.
Yesterday, I got to play a round of golf with a couple of good dudes (RG, Tim and Scott) thanks to servant leaders like Melanie who made the Crossroads Fall Swing happen at SummerGrove Golf Club. Before we were escorted to our starting hole Melanie delivered a Chick-fil-A biscuit and a cup of coffee to our cart. For several years and several tournaments she has worked behind the scenes to make sure that the outing is successful. She coordinates volunteers, arranges lunches, organizes swag bags, recruits hole sponsors, and creates a positive atmosphere in the clubhouse and around the course. We finished under-par without a bogey but nowhere close to the top of the leader board. However, I can tell you that seeing Mel, RG, and Tim put me in good company with a board of leaders! So, even though my golf swing still frustrates me, it's worth a few moments of aggravation as I yell at my ball for going the wrong direction to have these guys helping determine the direction of my life.
