If you have not played Office Golf yet then you are missing the funnest time ever. We just played again in the office last week and laughed the whole time. There were three of us this time and let me tell you this can lighten your day up greatly. I have to video next time to show you the fun of this game.
Our first Par 5 hole was down the 50 ft skywalk from the Education Building to the Children Building, down a flight of wide steps and then to the left down another hallway, then to the right down another hall way and there was the hole. All along the way are hazards not typically seen on the golf course. There were open classroom doors, tables in the hallways, water fountains, and stairways in the background of the hole.
Our second hole was another Par 5 from the top of the balcony in the worship center, down a narrow set of steps to the bottom floor, across the stage, and down a few more steps in the front of the worship center. Then down to the center in front of the pulpit area and up the center isle to the back of the worship center. That was a challenging hole for sure as the center isle is on an incline and can be very tricky.
Ok! So we play a little golf inside the church. I can’t tell you how much fun and laughter this produces. It is by far one of the best stress reliefs you can do. Anyone can play! We meet people along the way like the cleaning staff, secretaries, and kids sitting in the hallway.
Be creative in where to set the cup! We placed ours in the hallways, in classrooms, and right in front of stairs so if you over shoot you are down the stairs for a penalty. Our next step is a Four Man Scramble of Office Golf! Now that will be a hoot!

I am slowly moving into the 21st century for technology! Just last Thanksgiving I upgraded from a 32” regular television to a 48” Samsung 1080 flat screen mounted on the wall with a swivel base. My surround sound system is a 7 year old Panasonic and the DVD player does not work. I did subscribe to Netflix about a year ago but to stream a movie I have to move my 3 year old Gateway laptop over to the flat screen and run an HDMI cable to it and plug an audio cable in the front actually used for headphones I think. It gets the job done but the surround sound is lousy that way. I finally got tired of plugging all that in each time to stream a movie that I went shopping for a new Blu-Ray home theater system in a box.
Our pastor was doing a preaching series on the ABC’s…Attend Church, Be a part of Bible Study, and Commit to Serve. I suggested he add one more; the letter D for Donate to the Church. He wanted to stay with a three point sermon series so the D part never got added. So what about a 27 point sermon pastor? This is for the preachers out there looking for a great sermon series that would take you 27 weeks long; half the year! Here it is all done for you. I am working on 27 reasons to give to God and when that is done you could actually preach the same series for a whole year. What do you think about that preacher?
Here it is September and I have not taken any vacation yet for the year. I just cannot seem to fit it in. There is something always popping up the week I want to take off. I have meetings to go to and projects to finish. I have deadlines to meet and so much to do. Is there ever going to be time for ME?
Too many times, I hear the supervisor or employee asking how many high scores he needs to get the extra bonus for a performance raise! That is missing the point. Performance reviews are there for one reason and one reason only, to review an employee’s performance for a specified period. Getting the extra bonus is a by-product and should not be the goal.
