Jesus Loves Golf... No word if his balls walk on water hazards

Wednesday, April 09, 2008 By 1 comment


AUGUSTA, GA. - Every year, the Master’s Golf Tournament attracts a wide variety of celebrities. This year marks the first appearance of the Golfing Jesus Doll™. The seven-foot version, a creation of Lana Long, known as the Jesus Doll Lady, has exchanged the regal white robe for the Master’s green one and holds a golf club. One press on the heart and the song “Jesus Loves Me” is heard.

Lana Long, originally from Denver, Colorado where she attended school, has made Augusta home since she was twelve. The inspiration for the Jesus Dolls came in 1983 when she was looking for a way to raise money to buy toys for abused and needy children. Today she owns 30 copyrights and produces multiple sizes of Jesus Dolls that she gives away and sells at thejesusdolls.net.

“What a perfect place for the Master,” Lana said. “Right here at the golf tournament.”

Her display is located at 2737 Washington Road, walking distance from the tournament gates, where they’ll be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day of the tournament.

The Jesus Dolls Co., Inc., is dedicated to teaching everyone that they are loved by God and Jesus, regardless of their circumstances or lot in life. We share this message with the world by making handcrafted Jesus dolls and providing spiritual guidance for those in need. Lana was the originator of the Jesus doll and was the first to make it available for the public.

  1. So Jesus sings "Jesus Loves Me"? Is there another Jesus that loves him? Like maybe the one from The Big Lebowski? Although, seriously, I don't think that Jesus loves anyone. Or is Jesus all self important? And if so, shouldn't he be singing "I Love me"? Or "Jesus Loves Jesus"?

    Hmmm...this should probably be a blog post of my own...
