Why Play Golf?

I have had many non golfers ask me why they should play golf? They make jokes about golf being for older non active people... However, one of the best things about playing golf is the ability to assess someone's character. For instance someone who cheats, or takes mulligans or gets mad and throws clubs or walks off the course is givng you a snap shot of their behaviour in other settings. It could take years or a few bad dealins with indiviudals before seeing their true behaviour. So why not invest in a game of golf where at the end of 4 or 5 hours you get a pretty good idea if you would like a continued relationship with the person?!

Golf is also a great way to form trusting relationships with people. As well, golf  is a sport that you can play and enjoy throughout your lifetime. It is fortunate that Tiger Woods entered the golf industry and enlightened many more people to the possibilities of the game of golf rather than just a past time for the elite or priviledged.  However, in my opinion - Tiger became too involved in the power and wealth afforded by his on and off course success.

So why not have a game of golf with someone next time you are trying tosize up their character?

Well it is Friday afternoon - have a great weekend!
