Faith Lutheran of Marshfield recently held a golf
outing for fellowship and fund raising for Stand With
Africa. Prizes were donated and funds were raised with
various "optional" purchases by the golfers such as The
"Lutheran Rosary" (file
attached)and "Born Agains" (compare to "Mulligans").
As part of the education/fund raising dimenstion, there was
a "quiz question" at each hole, with questions pertaining to
our benevolence for the world's hungry or about biblical
texts dealing with food. Prize for the winners of the
quiz was a home-made apple pie! Thanks to Cheryl
Ashbeck, Katie Muschinske and Nancy Young for submitting the
ideas. They can be contacted via Faith Lutheran Church
of Marshfield.

Welcome to the First Annual Faith

Bishops Fund for Malawi and Stand With Africa, a Campaign of
Hope for the urgent needs in Africa.
How to Begin
1. Register at one of the tables to confirm your
tee time and partners.
2. Boost your score and fun level by buying the
following (optional) coupons: All proceeds from these
sales will go to the Bishop's Fund!
a. "Born agains" also known as
"mulligans". Good for one free tee shot "redo".
b. "Saved by graces" Good for one free shot
anywhere on the course.
c. "Lutheran golfer's
rosary" A piece of string that can be
used to get out of trouble or shorten putts. Details

3. Proceed to hole #1 with your group and have a great
time! Men will be using the white tee markers. Women
and high school youth and younger will use the red
tees.
4. Don't forget to come back to the clubhouse area for
lunch and awards!
Prizes
Loaves and fishes award - There will be a trivia
question on a placard by each hole. Each team will be given
an answer sheet that should be given to the tour organizers
at the end of your round.
Outstanding In the Field Award - One of the FLC
choir's sturdy music stands will be placed in the fairway on
Hole # 4. See if you can be the closest to it! You may
have to choose whether to get on the green or go for the
stand!
Wing and a Prayer Award - Awarded for the longest
putt that actually goes in the hole! Men hole #3, Women
hole #9, and youth hole #2.
Putt by faith - All members will putt their first
putt on the green using the blindfold over his/her eyes.
Feel free to help them and guide their aim without touching
them. After the first putt is completed by all of the
members mark the best putt and then finish the hole without
the blindfold. Closest to the pin while blindfolded wins
the prize!
Drive for Hunger - Hole #8, for all groups. The
longest drive for each man, woman and youth will be recorded

A ROSARY FOR
THE LUTHERAN GOLFER [ TOP
]
The 4 foot "Rosary for the Lutheran Golfer" (RLG) that is
enclosed can aid your team to improve the lie of your ball
or possibly even improve your score. Here are a couple of
examples:
- If your ball is lodged under a tree & is not
playable, you can use the RLG to move the ball into a
playable position and not be charged a penalty stroke.
You move your ball 18 inches and now you have an
unrestricted swing. You must then cut from your RLG the
length of the distance you moved your ball.
- If you leave a putt short (6 inches) or blast it long
(2 feet), you may cut from your RLG the distance to the
hole & then the putt counts with out adding an
additional stroke!
- If you are in the rough & would like to have a
better lie, use your RLG to move the ball into the
fairway (or on to the green) without counting an
additional stroke. Remember to cut the length equal to
the distance from your RLG.
You may use your RLG all at once or in several small
increments, that's up to your team. Be careful & use
your best judgement! Once the entire length of your RLG has
been used, its ability to redeem you is depleted.
RULES:
Pray before you begin, have a great time!

A scramble means that all four team members tee off on
each hole and then decide which tee shot they like the best
and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker.
1. The other team members pick up their balls
and place them within one club length (no closer to the
hole) of the marked spot. Each team member hits their
next shot from the chosen spot of the prior shot.
2. This procedure is followed on every shot for the
remainder of the hole, including putts. The ball should
be marked on the putting green also.
3. Putts need to be made within 3 inches of the marked
spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the
hole is counted for the team score.
4. If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard
(sand, water, etc.), the rough, or out of bounds, you can
not drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if
relief is within one club length away.
5. Each team must use at least one of each team
members tee shots on each nine (minimum two tee shots per
player).
6. Men tee off from the white tees and women and youth
from the red tees.
GOLF ETIQUETTE:
1. Please smooth all marks made in Sand Bunkers.
2. Leave the putting green as soon as you have holed
out.
3. Do not play until the players in front of you are
out of range.
4. Balls may be cleaned on the green, and ball marks
repaired prior to putting. You may not repair spike marks
prior to putting.
5. Please observe all local course rules.
6. Enjoy the day and your fellowship with other
Christian golfers!
