About the author
Kyle Porter
3 books65 followersI'm a writer and a builder. Currently I cover golf for CBS Sports, which means a lot of different things depending on the day. Coverage of the modern game includes columns, podcasts some on-camera work and, of course, Twitter. It's the last of these that helped produce my books, Normal Sport 1 and 2.
Golf, from my viewpoint, is so often a way to worship God. For an earth rich with unique contours and teeming with subtle beauty that I get to travel to and see so very often. And for a game that has been, from the very beginning, probably the most relational of any sport ever created. What good gifts those are, and how rarely do I consider them, much less praise God for their creation.
In the past I built and sold Pistols Firing, an Oklahoma State sports website, and contributed to Joy in the Sorrow -- How a Thriving Church (and its Pastor) Learned to Suffer Well.
I'm also an elder at Mosaic Church in Richardson, Texas, where I live with my wife and four kids.

I always enjoy Kyle’s writing about golf and this series has served as a nice “year in review” for the previous golf season. With Kyle having created an excellent twice-weekly newsletter, I feel like this series has probably outlived its usefulness except perhaps as a means of throwing a few dollars of support to the author to encourage him to continue with the writing that is above and beyond his day job.
