One Eternal Round

Proof that golf courses will exist in Heaven:

D&C 3:2

"For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth He

turn to the right hand nor the left, neither doth

He vary from that which He hath said,

therefore, His paths are straight and

His course is one eternal round.

Story of President Heber J. Grant 

and 

President Joseph F. Smith

When [Heber] went to Joseph F. Smith’s office, he learned that President 

Smith was golfing. Heber felt that the business at hand 

could not wait until  Joseph F. Smith returned to the Church 

headquarters, so he decided to track him down  at the golf course. 

When Heber arrived, President Smith sensed that he was upset. 

“Heber, your are tense and overworked,” he said. 

“You should learn to play this game.”

He was stunned by the suggestion—there was simply too much 

work and already not enough time to complete it. 

President Smith continued, 

“Many times I, myself, get overworked, weary and so tense I can 

accomplish but little. So I drop everything 

and come play golf.” 

He tried to reassure Heber that in the end he was more productive: 

“There is something about hits game that relaxes me and causes me to 

forget my anxieties.  When I get back to the office I can accomplish more

in a few hours than I could in days when I am so tense.”

Heber refuse the offer. . . . Joseph F. Smith spoke with 

presidential authority: 

“Heber, I command you to take that club and play out this round with me.”

He [Heber] then related: 

“I took to playing golf and learned that President Smith was right. 

Nothing I can do relaxes me half a much as two hours on the 

golf course. I can return to the office and unravel problems that 

seemed unsolvable when I was tired and tense.”

I think I have proven my case.

My Grandma and uncle are going to LOVE this when I tell

them about it! :)
