Golf from the Perspective of a Businesswoman

by Patty Frasure


It is hard for most women to understand why men enjoy playing golf so much. How can it be fun to spend two or more hours walking around a large golf course while facing the heat, wind, cold, rain, or whatever else nature might throw at you. A woman's perspective on this game usually changes, however, once she is invited to a golf outing, particularly a business meeting in the form of a golf outing.
Attending a business meeting while playing golf is much more enjoyable than attending a meeting in a board room. The time that is spent talking with the top executives of your company as well as many of your potential clients will really open your eyes to a new world that is the game of golf. Before you know it, you will begin to feel that a golf course is the only place you want to conduct business anymore.
Conducting business on the golf course could also lead you to want to play more in your spare time. For one reason, you will want to improve your game so that you can impress your colleagues and clients. Another benefit of taking up golf is that you can network with other businesswomen who play golf. It is a great way to bond while sharing ideas. Golfing with your fellow business women can be much more fun than attending a purse party and can even be more effective than trade shows. You don't have to be a professional golfer to get on the clients good side and close a sale, you just have to go out there, have fun, show them a good time, and relate.
If you are a businesswomen who has never tried incorporating golf into your life, why not give it a try?
