Amazon Best Selling author John A. Gehrisch Reveals the Secrets of Lasting Love in The Golf Pro Has Heart

Professional golfer and accomplished entrepreneur combines relationship wisdom with an entertaining look behind the curtain of professional golf

United States, 3rd Sep 2026 — What allows some couples to remain deeply in love, fulfilled, and best friends after more than 50 years together?

Author, entrepreneur, and professional golfer John A. Gehrisch explores that question in The Golf Pro Has Heart: Secrets of Couples Still in Love After 50 Years & A Private Look Behind the Curtain of The Professional Golf Tour, a distinctive book that combines relationship insight, personal experience, humor, and memorable stories from the world of professional golf.

The inspiration behind the book emerged from Gehrisch’s own search for answers following the failure of two marriages. Rather than accepting that successful relationships were simply a matter of luck, he began studying couples who had achieved something remarkable: marriages lasting 50 years or more in which the partners remained happy, fulfilled, deeply in love, and best friends.

His research and observations revealed 18 common traits among these long-lasting couples—principles that became the foundation of The Golf Pro Has Heart.

Central to that journey was the example set by Gehrisch’s parents, John Merritt and Doris Jean Gehrisch. Their marriage demonstrated the qualities of devotion, faithfulness, mutual respect, friendship, and giving that Gehrisch later recognized repeatedly in other successful couples.

Instead of presenting these discoveries as a conventional relationship manual, Gehrisch uses the language and structure of golf to create an engaging reading experience. Relationship-focused chapters are presented as “Holes,” while entertaining “Golf Gimmes” take readers behind the scenes of his experiences in competitive and professional golf.

Throughout the book, Gehrisch addresses subjects including communication, trust, commitment, forgiveness, friendship, affection, romance, compatibility, recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns, and understanding the difference between a “Giver” and a “Taker” to mention a few things covered.

One of the book’s central features is the JAG Formula for a Happy, Loving, Long-Term Relationship, which brings together the lessons Gehrisch discovered through personal experience and his examination of couples who successfully maintained loving relationships for decades.

But The Golf Pro Has Heart is more than a relationship book.

Golf enthusiasts are given a personal look into Gehrisch’s journey from an initially reluctant young golfer to competing professionally. Along the way, he shares stories involving tournaments, friendships, unexpected victories, valuable lessons, humorous pranks, interesting and tear-jerking stories, and encounters with notable figures from the golf world.

The result is an unusual blend of self-help, memoir, relationships, and sports storytelling.

Gehrisch’s broader message is that lasting relationships rarely happen by accident. Like success in golf, business, or any demanding pursuit, they require patience, communication, commitment, continual learning, and a willingness to make adjustments along the way.

Through candid personal stories and lessons gathered from others, Gehrisch encourages readers not simply to search for the right person, but also to consider what it takes to become the right partner.

Whether readers are single, newly committed, working to strengthen a marriage, reflecting on a long relationship, or simply fascinated by professional golf, The Golf Pro Has Heart offers both practical insight and entertainment.

Ultimately, Gehrisch invites readers to consider an important question: What can we learn from the couples who have already succeeded at lasting love?
