The Golfer's Rule of Life: A Yardage Book for Soul and Play

In The Golfer’s Rule of Life: A Yardage Book for Soul and Play, Joshua Case—Episcopal priest, former golf teaching professional, and lifelong outdoorsman—invites readers to discover the sacred rhythm that connects the game of golf and the journey of faith.Drawing on Christian wisdom, Celtic spirituality, ancient practices of soul care, and years spent walking fairways with people from all walks of life, Case reimagines the traditional “rule of life” through the lens of golf. More than a book about the game, it is an invitation to live with greater intention, presence, gratitude, and wonder. Each "rule" offers a reflection, practice, and swing thought organized around nine simple invitations: Begin with Intention. Honor the Rhythm. Practice Presence. Welcome the Elements. Be a Curious Companion. Walk with Reverence. Receive the Unexpected. Play the Long Game. Finish with Thanks. Whether read on the course, in the clubhouse, or at home, The Golfer’s Rule of Life serves as a yardage book for the deeper journey of becoming more fully alive on the course and in your life.Perfect for golfers, retreat leaders, small groups, or anyone longing to live with intention, The Golfer’s Rule of Life reminds us that every round can be holy ground, and that grace meets us in the swing, the silence, and the shared laughter along the way.
