Woman Ask Me About Business on the Golf Course

Many women ask what they should do if they are going to play golf for business purposes. I usually recommend having a few golf lessons to learn about etiquette, dress code and the basic swing for short game and hitting off the tee and fairways.

It is important to realize your time on the golf course is primarliy for relationship building and demonstrating that you are a good sport. Typically you will be on the course with someone for 4 to 5 hours. This is not the time to start any in depth discussions or complicated debates since you could take the other persons concentration off their game and end up with someone frustrated at you instead of inspired by your critical thinking!

Remember your time on the golf course is best kept for relationship building!
