7 Aspects of Business Golf

Unlike the PGA Tour, second place in business development does not pay very well. Since this is the case, anybody that is responsible for business development should have a basic understanding of the 7 aspects of business golf. Do you have to be an expert at anyone of them? No. Do you even have to play the game? No. (There is plenty you can do to be effective and not step a foot on the course) The key is you need to be prepared because you never know when you will need to use golf to further a relationship.

The Seven Aspects of Business Golf are as follows:

Only Rule of Business Golf Make sure everyone has fun and keep up with the group ahead of you.
Have a Positive Return on Investment Invite the correct individuals that can truly assist you.
Novices and Beginners Need to be Included This level of player makes up the majority of business golfers. So if you are a good player you need to understand how to make novices and beginners feel comfortable on the golf course. If you are a novice or a beginner you need to be out on the links because if you are not your competitor will be.
Differentiation There is more opportunity to satisfy your customers thirst for golf other than an afternoon on the links.
Business Golf Etiquette From choosing the correct set of tees to talking business on the golf course
Having the Right Support System Choosing the right facility and golf professional
Personal Game Improvement Learn how to hit the ball farther, straighter and lower your score.

As you can see, playing the game is only a part of the equation. There is a great deal of more to it but the good news is that you don't have to be a good player to be good at Business Golf. The bottom line is that Business Golf is different than regular golf in the fact that it is all about the customer. If you follow the only rule of everyone having fun and keep up with the group ahead you will be successful. If you worry about your score or that you are not hitting it well you would have wasted a golden opportunity to enhance your earning potential.
