Welcome to the website and blog from the men at “Tales from the Tour.” We are very proud to share with you the background of this group and the men that make it a calling. It all started with a transcript that was shared with golf instructors, PGA professionals and a few well intentioned individuals here in Phoenix that started the most unlikely of journeys… Using Golf as a metaphor for life, family, work and faith; this transcript became a book, the book became an outreach program, those programs became events under the Bird’s Nest Tent at the Phoenix Open, these events led to men’s groups and Bible Studies where a guide and study book was developed. The book is called “Golf’s Sacred Journey,” men’s groups started across the country using the companion Study Guide, this movement blossomed into a movie script that was once again guided by some of the same men that started this journey — right here in the Valley of the Sun.
We were privileged to be part of making this movie with its world class actors and proud to see in roll out nationwide (in limited release) this fall. Please check out the trailer and movie site link below, we hope you are able to see this in the theater — stay tuned for DVD and Online Release information as it becomes available.
Tales from the Tour, and the men behind it, continue their work as a Christian Ministry dedicated to helping men find their faith and help lead them from a Golf Book to The Book! Our time together focuses on Biblical principles as they apply to every day life as a Husband, Father, Friend, Family Member and Professional. This site is dedicated to sharing our journey in hopes you will join us to discover yours.
About the Movie
SEVEN DAYS IN UTOPIA follows the story of Luke Chisolm (Lucas Black), a talented young golfer set on making the pro tour.

But Johnny’s more than meets the eye, and his profound ways of looking at life force Luke to question not only his past choices, but his future direction. The film also stars Academy Award winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Deborah Ann Woll (HBO’s True Blood) and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker).
