The Role of Golf in Business Networking & Development ⛳ Golf is a game of balanced contrasts, where relaxation and stress relief meet the demands of focus, precision, and finesse to navigate the challenges of the fairways and greens. This blend of strategy, camaraderie, and personal integrity translates perfectly into successful business interactions. From a casual round of golf with clients or managers to a charity outing, golf is integral to building business relationships and sparking deals. 🏌♂️ How Much Business is Done on the Golf Course? While it is impossible to track how many business deals are born on the golf course, we know that over 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs play golf, as did 16 of the last 19 presidents of the United States of America.   The 4 hours spent on a golf game help establish new business contacts and assess the character of potential partners in a relaxed, casual environment. Eighty percent of CEOs surveyed said they have conducted or closed deals while playing a round of golf Read more about networking on the golf course here ... https://lnkd.in/esyufDxv

Pickleball is the new golf when it comes to active business meetings. People are scheduling time on the court to cut deals. We're hearing this a lot and seeing it firsthand in our clubs. It makes perfect sense to me: A round of golf with a group of four can take 3-5 hours, depending on how good you all are (and how many pre-tee cocktails you had in the clubhouse) For busy people, that's A LOT of time. You can't do many of those per month. Pickleball on the other hand takes 30-60 minutes. It requires teamwork, competitiveness and grit, all things you like to see in potential partners. The best part is that it's easy to pick up. If you've never played a round of golf before, I guarantee you're not going to want to start during an important business meeting. Pickleball is simple to pick up, and you can be dinkin' in no time. Plus it's really fun! Smiling, laughing, and getting the endorphins flowing will leave a lasting positive impression on both parties. I know I've taken some meetings on the courts before. Anyone else experienced this?
