Golf Clubs, Carts, Balls and Equipment - Golf Clubs, Carts, Balls and Equipment - Everything From Tee Off to Tally

'More business deals are made on the golf course than in the board room.' You've heard that statement I'm sure - I've heard it all my life.   And while it seems to smack of the 'Good Ole Boys' network there are a few reasons why it makes sense.

First, you can tell a lot about a person in the way they address their golf game. While golf is a serious sport, it's also a gentleman's or a gentlewoman's sport.   There will be winners and losers and how a person handles either says a lot about them.

But more than that, there are a lot of opportunities to talk business and other things while you're playing golf. You can learn a lot about a persons beliefs and attitudes during a round of golf.    What they choose to discuss, or how they react to what others choose to discuss.

Playing a round of golf helps you build rapport with your clients or business partners. You and they may not become friends, but you're more than acquaintances, and most folks would rather do business with someone they know than with someone they simply know of.

It levels the playing field.   Women play golf too.   A women can develop the same rapport, as their male counterparts on the golf course.   It's one of the few ways a woman can join the 'Good Ole Boys' network - short of some drastic surgery.

So, should 'Golf' be a required course? There are some business schools requiring their grad students to learn now.    And while it may never be a requirement, if you're going to be in business, you'd be wise to learn.
