Here is the background...
JP Hayes was playing in Q-School. Q-School is the tournament that determines who will play in professional PGA (Professional Golfers Association) events. Finishing in the top 25 of the final tournament allows you to play in PGA events. This can mean millions in prize money and in sponsorships. JP Hayes was playing in the second stage of the tournament and was headed to the final tournament when he discovered he had made a mistake. A mistake that no else knew about, a mistake that no one would ever find out about, unless your JP Hayes. JP realized that he played a ball that he was not supposed to play during his round of golf (normally this is a two stroke penalty). The problem is that the golf ball was a prototype and had never been approved by the PGA. Playing an unapproved golf ball is an automatic disqualification! JP Hayes made the phone call and told on himself! He will not be able to play in PGA events in 2009 due to this mistake and JP Hayes' honesty!
What would you do?

I don't think I could live with that over my head. I pray that GOD would tell me to be honest, and that I would do it! Rachel Gragg
Leviticus 19:36, "You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt." Ephah is a "Hebrew unit of dry measure, and is equal to a bushel." A Hin is "an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid measure equal to about one and one half gallons." Knowing that, GOD says that we should be honest! GOD saved His people from Egypt, and He can give us forgiveness of sin! GOD wants us to be honest, and that is what I want to do! Rachel Gragg
