"The Golden Bear & The Golden Rule"

January 30, 2025 | By Chuck

      It is no secret that I love golf. I have enjoyed playing the game since I was a kid, and I’ve watched golf on tv for almost as many years. My love or obsession with this crazy game made last Monday night a thrill of a lifetime and so memorable. Jack Nicklaus, arguably the greatest golfer ever, spoke at Harding University, and Dylan and I were so fortunate to be there. Jack’s golf career speaks for itself. His 18 major championships are a record unmatched by any other golfer.

            Jack Nicklaus is a legend on and off the golf course. I enjoyed hearing Jack talk about his golf career and other great players he played against. I was even more impressed with Jack’s humility and especially the way he spoke of his wife, Barbara. Jack mentioned that he tries to live by the “golden rule” and treat people the way he wants to be treated. The “Golden Bear” practices the “Golden Rule.” We should all practice the golden rule, not simply because Jack Nicklaus does, but because it is a teaching of Jesus.

            “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” (Luke 6:31)
