Zach Nash

On August 11, 14-year-old golfer Zach Nash shot a 77 to win the boys 13-14 age division at the Milwaukee County Parks Tour Invitational. A couple of hours after the victory, he was shocked to discover that he had one too many clubs in his bag, which was a violation of the rules. Nash could have kept quiet about the matter and no one would have ever known about it. However, he disqualified himself and returned his medal. “I knew right away I couldn’t live with myself if I kept this medal”, he said.

It is refreshing to see such honesty in a world where there are so many deceitful people. This young man’s example sets a standard that we can all strive to match. Let’s be truthful, even if it costs us something. 

Prov.12:22—“The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.”
