One of the greatest things about golf is you can just show up at a club as a single and get a game. Depending on your business, you could be looking at three prospects each and every time you tee it up. Either way, golf is the ultimate networking environment for all kinds of professionals and services and one of the simplest ways to make new friends.
Let’s face it, as adults, how often do we really make new friends anywhere other than at the golf club? It’s the perfect place.
You don’t even have to be paired up with anyone at the start of the round as you can very often join up with some awesome people on the way round. For example, my son and I ended up playing with an Italian LPGA player on a course near Pisa. On a trip to Portugal, in the space of three days, I played with a Swede, German and Frenchman. Only the Swede spoke English but the effort to communicate with the other two made the round even more interesting than normal.
In tournaments at various clubs, I have often be paired with celebrities like coach Steve Spurrier, former Angel’s pitcher Chuck Finley, former PGA champion Mark Brooks as well as various soccer, hockey and football players. People I would never have met in everyday life were it not f or that instant connection through golf.
