    Well, take it as part of your business, if you must. Don’t take it too seriously though, as in, don’t get too bogged down on whether you can impress your biz partners with your golfing skills or otherwise. Treat it as a skill.. at the same time, as a leisure…WHACK the damn ball and see it go!
    Relieve some stress!

    hahaha arevoir

    Well, when you go to college hopefully you can take a golf class which will cost a lot less than private lessons. However, most golfers aren’t really great, they are usually men who use it as an excuse to get alone time away from the wife and kids.

    For business, it’s really not necessary. My father is a director of a team at a huge corporation, and he only took golf lessons one time and never golfed since. I think that if you want a really high-level position, like a vice president or a regional sales manager, then golf might help you a little, but if I were you I wouldn’t worry about it. You can always learn to golf later if you feel that you must. jellybeanchick

    Another corporation workoid in the making. Lift your ambitions and be the one who dictates the mode of sycophancy rather than the sycophant. cranky
