CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 27, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- Sherry Bradshaw, former Miss South Carolina and First Runner-Up in the Miss America Pageant, doesn't claim to be a golfer, but when her three children took up the sport with a passion, she spent hundreds of hours with them on courses and at competitive tournaments. Each received golf scholarships at Division 1 universities.

In the process, she began to see parallels between life on the links and the principles that lead to a life of significance. Her new book, The Front Nine, has practical advice on topics ranging from building self-confidence to learning from the "double bogeys" and mistakes of life.

Sherry, a Clemson University graduate with a degree in Administrative Management, is a popular speaker who has inspired hundreds of audiences at corporate events, schools, churches, and community organizations.

The Front Nine (ISBN 978-1-939779-07-6), and Sherry's speaking on the topic, is receiving national attention. Nancy O'Dell, host of Entertainment Tonight, says, "Sherry is a spunky, vivacious, motivating speaker who brings Southern charm to every message she delivers." And Dabo Swinney, Head Football Coach at Clemson University, comments, "No matter what team you pull for, you'll want to follow this Tiger."

Sherry is the founder of Back Nine Ministries (www.Back9Ministries.org). She and her husband, Bill, are the parents of three children, Brewer, Thomas, and Collins. The Bradshaws make their home in Columbia, South Carolina.
