August 2005 Release
"If there were a golf course in Heaven…
Like many people of faith, I have often contemplated the glories of heaven.
In fact, collectors have often told me that, to them, my paintings are like
little glimpses of heaven. Though such comments might seem whimsical, my
recent readings have suggested that there may be many similarities between
earth and heaven. In fact, some theologians speculate that heaven might be a
perfected form of our earthly dwelling — almost like a renewed Garden of
Eden for us to enjoy. Christ said he would prepare a mansion for us — could
he also prepare a divine garden setting where in we might pursue a
recreational game or two? (Or two or three thousand?)
Imagine the possibilities: not a care to interrupt the stroll through the
verdant grounds, not a deadline to interfere, not an interruption to beckon.
Bliss, pure and simple, and a fragrant walk through the morning light as one
pursues the perfect round. To me golf has always been about the search for
the ideal — the enjoyment of a perfected landscape. Step up to the gilded
tee markers at Golfer’s Paradise and take a swing at your first shot. In the
distance we see the glowing flag denoting the hole some 280 yards away. Edge
your way past the dogwood tree and follow the fairways into the luminous
distance. Savor the peacefulness and beauty that for many golfers is the
very essence of the game.
See you on the links!"
