Bruce Summerhays - Former Pro Golfer, Missionary, Mormon

[jam4630]

I'm related to him!! he is my great uncle.

[prorobo]

The golf part of this story was cool.

[GolfWorkshop]

I am a mormon and it is different if it is your job

[PoisonedOath]

You 557 guys who disliked this must feel pretty cool, showing such disrespect to a man discussing the joy his faith has brought him.

[Doed25]

Okay, first off, Bruce Summerhayz did not put this video up, it was done by the people who record and edit these video, Summerhayz in a wonderful man, and he wasn't always Mormon, he is Mormon because he has come a a realization that it is true, and that it has brought him closer to Christ, he has an awesome conversion story as well.

[willy2madre]

How is he a pro golfer if he can't play on sunday? He must not have made the cut too often

[FunInUtah]

@willy2madre You do relize the Steve Young, old quarter back for the 49ers is Mormon and was and still is a very active member of the LDS (mormon) faith. Who said those that are LDS cant do their jobs to make their living when it requires them on Sunday? Other pro LDS golfers- Billy Casper, Keith Clearwater, Dan Forsman, Johnny Miller. There are LDS people in all pro sports

[andrewrobertwells]

This seems like a genuine guy. He was living his dream playing professional golf, but then he gave it up to try to teach others about Jesus Christ. Like he said, "you see it, you feel it, you trust it."

Sounds like a good definition of faith to me.

[BrendanWhelan]

@andrewrobertwells you wouldn't see or feel or trust a specific faith, had you not been taught it from someone else. it's why I don't believe in any particular religion.  why would a supreme being need other people to spread it's word and believe in it? why couldn't that supreme being just tell you personally the truth?

[35BRE]

facebook is banking on you...bro

[badassesunite]

This guy's sponsored by Redbull

[ginofrater]

[filmmaker365]

[MandersGS]

I love that the course he's playing on looks like crap.

[delez24]

And i thought mormons only bothered me at my door... BUT YOUTUBE?

[jmsdxtr]

WOW!!! This is really boring.

[ryleyball]

this guy cannot hit it 300.

[FellowShipModz]

Im sorry but all your videos, have this underlying feature. You pick somone sucessfull, and make it seem like there only that way cause there Mormon. Thats why you get so many dislikes. Change that and change the opinion people have of you.

[WiiFan20XX]

is there a way to delete featured videos on here? i'm sick 0f getting "I'm a mormon" on random videos like watching space ghost clips, or featured beyonce videos when i'm trying to watch Queen or Rammstein.

[tyl3r6024]

I was thinking about becoming Mormon, but after realizing you moderate all the comments here I could not freely ask about the religion. Oh well onto another faith I guess.

[FellowShipModz]

@tyl3r6024 Roman Catholic is the best <3

[tyl3r6024]

It's really good that they focused so much on golf. I mean, everyone knows that people with other Religions don't play golf. They should have focused on something more Mormon. Such as not drinking caffeine, living in Utah, or having a thousand kids.

[TysonTheMan1]

@tyl3r6024 dude we can drink caffeine, I drink Dew all the time.

[cardio2go]

What a great video. Thank you!

[xmadxmikex37]

u cant hit it 300.

[xiJTAG]

cute win fail to this???

[ThePolkaPeople]

yeeeeeah representing the truth, that's what's up!

and I feel like people are going to comment saying you shouldn't say "truth" because some disagree, sorry it's just a thing I say, you don't have to agree although I encourage you to but yeah. (:

[TGsasuke5655]

do you seriously need to promote your religion? on youtube!?

[ILoveKimPearson]

What do mormons believe again?

[TheMagmagoblin]

Mormon is great mormon is fine.

[blingdaleks]

I don't get if these videos are supposed to promote tolerance towards Mormons, or whether it's an advertisement for the religion. What's the point?

[Joey6327]

And I'm an Athiest.

[UmbreonUniverse]

These videos are so random? Why would I care about some one else's religion...

I WATCHING A P BAT VIDEO!

[SpicyDinger]

So what religion are you promoting. You need to be more obvious, like really.

[05candyman]

cool

[davidtrankill]

I'm an Atheist. But respect to this guy. Because I love watching golf.

[ALocalPro]

Cool story, Bro.

[ImTheDruggernaut]

...and I'm an Atheist

[pigbrave]

@ImTheDruggernaut Have fun in Hell

[userenji]

@ImTheDruggernaut ....and you spelled it wrong.

[crazyriders83]

And I'm an atheist. Get at me, Bruce.

[DavidPeterson726]

Judging by the title of the video...and your youtube username... I'm guessing you're Atheist......... CHRISTIANS RULE!!!!!!!

[sfgiantsPOSEY28]

Youtube, r u happy i finally took time 2 watch this "featured video"???

[SupaDupaFunTime]

....and i have a life

[vwboy19]

sad go back to golf!!

[EliteSniipez13]

Thumbs up if this was your "Featured Video"

[ImTheDruggernaut]

@EliteSniipez13 This was a PROMOTED video for me.

[annoyingkid37]

..And I'm Christian.

[goskateramps]

@annoyingkid37 ...And Morman is Christian..

[JarlaxleRox]

When are they going to realize these videos aren't working.

[ThePantyDroper]

Why don't you ever see black people in these mormon commercials. They racist?

[bigdawwg33]

@ThePantyDroper

Why don't you pause the video at 1:33 and you'll actually see him conversing with one. At least he looks black to me. Apparently you paid close attention to the video. That is the problem with most of you people. You take what you hear from others, and don't actually look into the beliefs of the church for yourselves to better understand them. Then you criticize them for it. I'm pretty sure your lame criticisms aren't going to change thier faith in God though. Nice try! :-)

[stevenking94]

aand im athiest...

[OrganicLowell]

I used to be a Mormon and now im atheist. But I find it interesting that Mormons live 10% longer than their fellow homo-sapiens. I think it's because of their social and community life; no other community like it; humans are essentially pack animals. They dont do drugs/smoke/drink/coffee. They also fast once a month, and intermittent fasting/caloric restriction studies in mice have been shown to increase lifespan drastically. I quit because I couldnt keep clean thoughts when I hit puberty lol.

[niloc1229]

Ever seen the book of Mormon?

[david929190]

So basically these videos are needed to tell people that not all Mormon's are crazy religious people. But I don't see how it tells you anything about the religion or why you should believe in it.

[KDaugherty15]

@ThoseTwoGuys24 Its a small Christian group based out of Utah (They actually founded the state) and the teachings of their Prophet Joseph Smith. They believe in an open canon and have adopted the Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price in addition to the Bible.

[TheEpolistic]

@parkerthehicks That's the sign of a good troll. Making fun of a religion you don't even know about. I am a Mormon, and I am proud of it!

[soulshine42oh]

i clicked this video to help me with my drive swing... i was wrong

[EZ33K]

Im an atheist

[randomname123ish]

Do you need to advertise religion

[Chadifer8]

Go back to Utah

[musikyle]

can somebody please explain to me how these commercials promote mormonism? all i see is some regular guy with a regular life and regular job. why do i need to be a mormon to get these things? i already have these things and i'm an atheist so how are you trying to 'persuade' people?

[musikyle]

@ThoseTwoGuys24 ever heard of google?

[pinkandpurpleshoes2]

I don't need a religon to be a good person!

just saying!....

[MACKDADDYCADDY]

Bruce is The Man!!! He is A Champion and The Nicest Guy in The World. I was blessed to work for him and know him very well. Wish more people were doing great work like Bruce and Lady Caroline. Way to Go Bruce!! Love This Video!! Miss you Both!!

[socks188]

@ThoseTwoGuys24 its a religion like catholic..

[CranberryCoke]

I dated his daughter, Amy, what a beautiful girl!

[TrollExterminator232]

...and im Catholic

[XProffrinkX]

I thought Mormons were only good at Scrabble...

[parkerthehicks]

thats the sign of a good religion, internet advertising

[TheEpolistic]

@parkerthehicks That's the sign of a good troll. Making fun of a religion you don't even know about. I am a Mormon, and I am proud of it!

[hammerogod]

OK...Mormons are wonderful people...I already knew that.

Never questioned it.

Never doubted it.

[nosam2020]

@hammerogod the persons religion has nothing to do with if there a good person or not you idiot you can say your any thing that doesnt change who you realy are

[VolkswagOwned]

What's the bid deal about being a Mormon??

[nukepwetty]

@VolkswagOwned

and why must this pop up when I'm trying to click a different video?!

[neongreener]

come out to my house... i will shoot you with paintball guns till you cry "jesus" in the way youve never done before...

[IPotsieI]

They have internet?

[socks188]

@IPotsieI Pshh no.

[TheNinjafication]

... And I'm a mormon

[littlebigtrain]

All religions are man made period. They all are a fantasy.

[SellTheBenefits]

How much does it cost to get into this club?

[ddogthepimp]

i want to make a dubstep song called "and im a mormon"

[seristean]

It talks more about golf then being Morman.

[CKSpoiler]

Golf is boring.

[MrYushi560]

To tell the truth, I dont know why thses videos have so many dislikes. I'm a Baptist, and I think it's wrong how all these people dislike this because it's different.

[kenaycock]

@bumblebee051985 Haha I totally missed that... well maybe he was trying to prove that he can hit it 300 yards... I like the last thought.

[just24more]

the first thing i've ever given a thumbs down to on youtube

[eaglemike1515]

good for you but did you really need to make a video to let us know?

[gnastygnarles]

hmmm absolute shocker that this has more dislikes than likes

[metalgearDavid]

I never felt so isolated when i was a mormon. No place to be a single person!! ( I am Very content being a single person) but its a great church to be if you are wanting to raise a family in!!

[damferrari312]

Well that was five mins i will never get back!

[chchigitycheckyoself]

BLACK MORMONS?!?!!

[donnydarkos]

@chchigitycheckyoself LMAO!!!

[kakureru]

thumbs downed for content filtering.

[ValenFrog]

he quit golf because he's too old. glad you've found a refuge in something old man.

[loer456]

whats wrong with this video.. im a golfer and a mormon too.. we have a good time we love it and we dont get mad...and the word has changed our life and the sport on how i look at it

[watertonrivers]

I am not Mormon but I truly admire their work ethic and dedication. One of my friends whom I have not seen for years is Mike Reid, he is a Mormon and professional golfer as well.

[Canaboy12]

nice sermon but please spare us the lectures some of us just want to enjoy the vibe..

[bjarnson]

Excellent video! Keep up the great work Elder and Sister Summerhays!!

[MrStevenfa]

I have great respect for bruce summerhays the golfer. But his telling us he is a Mormon really is out of line. Are we supposed to believe that being a Mormon has something to do with his wonderful golfing skills and to him being a celebrity?

A persons religious beliefs, as with his sexual orientation, are not the business of proselytizing. I am really saddened by the abuse of the internet by people who try an foist their religious beliefs on us by saying what a wonderful person they are. Sad.

[18orolderisme]

@MrStevenfa I'm not a supporter of Mormonism either, but your logic is just flawed. Not once in the video did he blame his great golf skills on the fact that he was a Mormon nor did he imply it. He can share his beliefs all he wants and it is not out of line. Just because someone is famous or has a talent does not mean they cannot speak their mind.

[Alytoner]

@18orolderisme Yeah, but they use famous people because they can be looked at as role models. Why did Tiger Woods was destroyed for sleeping with a bunch of women? He could of said "I'm a faithful Morman who was looking for satisfaction without breaking the federal law" maybe then people would of thought he's as crazy as Tom Cruise, or agree/convert.

I feel like some stars should express what they feel if they're saying it out of concern, because most of the stars are paid for these video's.

[drl52]

@MrStevenfa So we are not to use the gifts God has given us to share what we believe to be true? Is the glass never half full anymore with anyone? I respect a man that strives to live according to the principles of the LDS faith with all of the pressures that come from celebrity.

[scottyray12]

@MrStevenfa Some members of the church have been asked to do these videos to show that mormons are not different you and I. For to long the media and funny comedy central cartoons have plagued mormons as different people. So these videos are to show that Mormons are just regular people as well. If you did noot want to hear him talk about the church you did not have to click on the video which is entittled I;m a mormon. You know what you where watching

[justletitallgo]

@MrStevenfa I don't believe the point of the video is to say "I'm mormon and a good golfer because of it". The object is more about showing that Mormons are not just some strange group of people. Obviously a face/name that people can recognize is going to reach a larger audience. I don't know how you came across this video, but I think it is possible that you would have never seen it if Summerhays was not a part of it.

[LittleBigPlanet2LVLS]

What is the point of this? To make more mormons? The fastest growing belief is no belief.

[MrJordancass]

Jesus came to ME last night and told me to write a new book of religion....you guys believe me and will dedicate your life to what I tell you from now on right?

[drl52]

@MrJordancass By their fruits ye shall know them.

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

Hilarious...

2 Corinthians 5:19

...that God was reconciling THE WORLD to Himself in Christ, NOT counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

[beseriousplease]

So what do we see at 1:05?-

Some zing 2's, eye's or eye 2's, looks like a callaway ft? Lots of clubs!

[winxred12]

To the skepticals out there, I believe that the point of these videos are to show that mormons are normal people too. That we are not just your stereotype molly mormon. We are all different

[daveyp49]

We're proud of you and Sister Summerhays! Dave and Kay Phillips and your friends in the Heber Valley.

[ZenZill]

Are these videos suppose to glorify Mormon people or bring common ground to them and non-Mormons (everyone else)? I guess there's a big confusion about Mormon's, from these videos, are inadvertently promoting them to be consistently happy, persevering people all while barely mentioning their beliefs...What interestingly odd, inadvertent marketing.

[drl52]

@ZenZill Hmm, and your comment is spilling over with useful information. Negative undertone and condescending. You must have the truth! Please edify us ZenZill.

[dgafitator]

@drl52

You know, arguing against someones opinion is pretty much useless, but the fact that you use sarcasm to mock zenzill's opinion, not to mention over the internet, is was what amused me most. Basically, you embodied that which you are ridiculing. No offense, but you ought not to be ignorant.

[radelta]

Why do you guys moderate the comments on these videos? It would probably be healthy for your organization to have your members here to discuss your beliefs with critics. Instead, any comment thats negative about you guys in any way is censored

[MishkaHughes]

@radelta That is definitely not true. If you look at any of these videos' comments, there are many negative or critical comments.

[hellomoto131313]

@radelta

I love how religion somehow turned into an "organization". It's not longer a belief that you hold within your own, but a business (which is what it was originally intended to be except no one wants to admit it).

[drl52]

@hellomoto131313 You speak as if God is not a god of order but at god of Chaos. Would the true religion of God not be "organized"?

[heywhatsmellss]

@drl52 If you actually can't tell what he means by "organized" religion, educate yourself. He obviously doesn't mean people gathering in an orderly fashion, but rather people like "The Pope" or other so-called leaders pushing personal agendas on their congregations.

[aterseraph]

@radelta Not true. Only comments that contain profanity or derisive comments are edited or not allowed. If you look on most of the other videos, you will see plenty of comments, both negative and positive, but conducted in a civil manner. Any neanderthal can curse, we hope for more than that. Cheers.

[DragonEX200]

@radelta It is because censorship is the way of almost every religious organization in human existence due to the concept that uncensored material may cost the organization power.

[dlinecg]

@DragonEX200 no its because uncensored material might give the oportunity for other information to be heard, making people THINK instead of just believing what they hear

[mrwatzilla]

a great mission president too

[sistasoldier777]

Read your Bible God and Jesus neverr appeared to anyone at the same time in the Bible...The Bible says no man can see God face to face and live...Also Revelations says do not add anything to the Bible or I will add the plagues found in the Bible to you or do not take anything from the Bible or I will take your name out of the Book of Life....Do not add the book of mormons...The Bible is complete...Jesus loves you salvation is from Jesus and He alone...Oh how He loves you

[MishkaHughes]

@sistasoldier777 Scholars dispute that the Book of Revelation was written after other New Testament books--it may have been written before. Also, no man can see God is man's natural state and live--but man can be transfigured just as the apostles were on the Mount of Transfiguration and be able to handle the presence of divine beings. The Bible is wonderful, but confusion has come from different interpretations of many passages--the Book of Mormon bring amazing clarity to the Bible's message.

[turfturbo]

@sistasoldier777 Dont add anything, dont remove anything. But every Time the bible is "updated" things get changed, removed and added. The current bible you read in church is not the bible as it existed in its earliest forms. Every time it was translated the leaders of the church in that country always gave orders to the translators to spin meaning the way they wanted it spun. Especially in the King James translation from hebrew and latin into English. God and Jesus cant be amused by this.

[VVD]

Is this really the best Moron celeb you could get?

[MishkaHughes]

@VVD I don't think the point is to find celebrities--it's to show a wide variety of church members and how the gospel affects their lives. And I don't really appreciate you calling us "morons".

[musicloverarmeda]

Maybe you taught the missionaries that we see here in MI. :)

[bdm1220]

I've been home from the FTM for a year, its crazy to watch this and see Elders that I knew there! haha, keep up the good work!

[cureloms]

much respect for putting down his clubs for the gospel of Jesus Christ!

[GlorifiedTruth]

You know, I'm not Mormon nor do I approve of the faith, but I have to give credit where its due. This is a very effective video.

[omiolo]

"I love accountability"

I do too!
