What can golf teach us about life? On a warm summer morning in Fort Collins, Colorado, Dick Foth hits the links with longtime friend Steve Harris. As they talk between swings, a deeper conversation emerges about discipline, patience, rhythm, and starting fresh.

Steve shares how golf became a therapeutic outlet during a difficult season, and how the game has helped him slow down, stay steady, and build community. Dick closes the episode with a moving story about a friend in Washington, D.C., who used a golf bet to plant eternal truth in a simple and memorable way.

Whether you’re a golfer or not, this episode is a reminder that life—like golf—is best approached with grace, rhythm, and a little bit of laughter.

Takeaways:

  • Golf (like life) rewards patience, persistence, and presence.
  • Slowing down can lead to greater rhythm and joy.
  • Community and connection are often just a swing away.
  • Sometimes, the smallest moments—like a bet on a par 3—can have lasting spiritual impact.
