Thumbs up to all of this. I believe there is more business done on the golf course than most offices. If you have a customer or potential customer, it is much easier to open up over a round of golf than in a conference room. Human nature causes people to hold things in or build up a wall. There is something about the golf course that breaks that barrier down. If you dont use this tactic, start to, it will pay you dividends. Oh yeah, one more point, like the pro said, if you are not very good or are embarrased to show of your skills, form a best ball type match or scramble format to take the pressure off the individual.

Some of whom I decline to represent because their character, as revealed on the course, shows I don't want them as clients. Existing clients are great to play with as a way of just getting away from business and solidifying existing friendships. All good. PLAY MORE GOLF! Golf Guy California Golf Reveals True Character

Have you ever used golf for business? What was your experience? Being a golf pro at various clubs I saw a lot of business relationships develop on the course. I was often brought in to the foursome to alleviate the tension of the day. Yes, it can be challenging if you are trying to impress someone, but that's the case in golf in all situations. The point of doing business golf is to create a lasting relationship that builds repore. If you are brand new at the game you have a few options: 1) get some (professional) lessons beforehand so you feel comfortable, 2) be honest that you are a new golfer, or 3) suggest a scramble format.
