The Captains of Industry around the world have had a long and intimate relationship with the game of golf. Andrew Carnegie (far right) plays the Scottish national sport with his golfing buddies at St. Andrews.
IS GOLF the business component you are lacking? Let s take a minute and explore some of the reasons why we feel that golf is the business component you are lacking as you pursue growth and prosperity in your corporate culture, shall we? The game of golf itself is unique in that it attracts players of all ages, nationalities, physical abilities, and socio-economic demographics. Anyone can play golf, regardless of strength or athletic ability, and with the handicap system that golf has put in place we can all play together for the sheer enjoyment and social interaction -- or we can use the handicap system to allow players of disparate skill levels to be competitive with one another within the same round of golf. Because of the social aspect a host will spend between four and five hours walking or riding alongside their guest golf is the logical choice when the premium is on social interaction. It s difficult to have a sustained, meaningful conversation while hollering across a tennis court, no?
Hey, Corporate America! Why Choose Golf? Because it s the best way to entertain clients, boost company morale, and create a healthy corporate culture. It would be impossible to source the first person to use the quote that more deals have been made on the golf course than in the boardroom because so many have said it, for so many years, in so many languages. But as is the case with some oft-used phrases that have become commonplace, it rings true on many levels. Conversely, one of the commonly used descriptions of golf that misses the mark is that it is elitist, and only panders to the rich and famous. This is categorically untrue. Some of the most successful golfers in the history of the game have come from humble upbringings, so the rich man s sport label is truly inaccurate. Golf is getting more global and accessible to more people every year, it s time to get on the bus! Or fairway, to be more specific.
The role of sports in America continues to escalate each year, as golf attracts new generations of players. Sports remain a vital learning experience to build the abilities and competence for success. Certainly, acquiring those strengths and competitive skills are increasingly important in today s complex world. Golf s central role in commerce and its use as an effective business tool continue to grow and spread. New leaders in all areas of business are discovering the unique value that bringing groups together in this positive and productive atmosphere produces. Corporate leaders use golf events to help achieve their business objectives. They use Dale Carnegie Corporate Golf Division to plan and strategize with their management teams and to build customer relationships to grow their businesses. Meeting at the golf course is a wise business choice for competitive companies. They return to meet at the golf course because they know it works.
The golf venue is one of the most important elements in a successful event or outing, and a savvy corporate planner will try to find a property that has a wow factor, or has attained an I ve always wanted to play there status. Photo of monarch beach golf links hole #3
