Failure (and Victory)
02/27/16 • 27 min
At the 1999 British Open, French journeyman golfer Jean Van de Velde needed a double bogey 6 on the 18th hole to walk away with the Claret Jug. After a collapse of epic proportions, he carded a 7 and lost the ensuing playoff. Van de Velde's own reflections on his failure are a morality tale for Christians seeking to understand their own failure, success, and God's faithfulness.
