That shot looks like it’s 
about three feet.
This is a 35 miniature putter.
So it’s about 37 inches away
from the hole.
As a golf pro, you would take
that just about every time.
Thank you. 
Thank you very much.
The thing I love about golf
is, it’s up to me.
There are no excuses, and so 
you’re always accountable
to yourself. And I love that
accountability.
It really is that way in life.
You need to be accountable
for everything that you do,
and golf really shows that
individuality
because it’s such an 
individual game.
It will be close! Yo!
Look here! All right!
I was a professional golfer. It’s
what I’ve done for 16 years,
going around the country, 
playing golf on the senior team,
as they call it now. And it was
wonderful.
Very, very busy.
Six, seven days a week of playing
golf, you know, tournament golf.
That was a busy time.
This is really a busy time.
We start at 6:00 a.m.,
and my wife and I go out
for a walk.
We walk for an hour, three, 
four miles,
come right home, and
start breakfast.
We typically go to the office 
around 9:00 and work
with the missionaries, office 
staff, and mission presidency.
Some media people we meet
with, community members.
We deal with many, many
people,
and we do it with a smile on
our face. We love it.
We have 145 missionaries.
They give up two years of their
life to come out and serve.
We go from early morning
until about 10:30 at night.
It’s 24/7. There is no time out.
The busiest I’ve ever been in 
my life.
My wife and I have looked 
forward to this opportunity
for many, many years and 
preparing for it.
But we have left golf to serve
the Church.
We wanted to volunteer to preach
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is so much fun to see people
change their life and heart.
So that’s why I’m here.
I’ve been teaching golf 
all my life
or playing it all my life,
and basically,
it’s just like teaching 
the gospel.
You see it, you feel it, and 
you trust it.
If you don’t pay the price
in anything you do,
you’re not going to succeed
as well as you might have.
Oh, I love golf and always will.
I’ll cherish it. I mean, that’s a
game for a lifetime.
But the gospel is forever.
I’m a professional golfer. 
I’m a mission president.
I’m 67 years old and can still
hit a ball 300 yards.
My name is Bruce Summerhays,
and I am a Mormon.
