Golf is a microcosm of life. In the short hours we spend on the links, each shot challenges our focus and tests our emotions. When hitting that small, dimpled ball, we strive to stay present and to trust. Golf offers us the opportunity to grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wally Armstrong on the PGA Tour, The Mulligan, and Walking with Jesus
Q: How did your faith journey influence your golf career and ministry?
Armstrong explains that personal turning points, mentors, and a growing sense of a divine calling led him to blend golf with evangelism, creating ministries and resources that help players grow spiritually while pursuing the game.
Inside the Ropes at the Masters with Robert Wrenn
Q: What's the one thing you would tell someone playing Augusta National for the first time, even if it's just a dream to play there?
Two tips: first, soak it in and don't worry about the score since it's likely not going to be your best; second, know your lines and approach angles to stay patient and keep shots below the hole, especially on the greens that slope away.
What Makes the Masters So Special with John Sabino
Q: Tell me again a little bit about what that first experience was, walking in, seeing the grounds, experiencing Augusta for the first time.
The first experience was like entering a Disneyland for adults, with meticulous grounds, a calm ambiance, and a focus on respect and hospitality that makes you want to come back.
Golf Coach Brian Coleman on the Process Behind Becoming Better Golfers
Q: What's your problem? Everybody else can do it, why can't you do it?
Or sometimes I can do it, why can't I always do it?
Golf Coach Brian Coleman on the Process Behind Becoming Better Golfers
Q: So Brian, welcome to Links for Life. I'm really looking forward to our conversation.
Thanks. I appreciate you having me.
