“Hey, we are teeing it up at 11 AM with ‘The Boss’..we need a fourth, you want to play?”
What is your answer?
Of course, if you don’t play golf the answer is obvious. The fact is, if you do not play golf you are missing out on a great business opportunity. How does that make you feel?
Most people who do not play golf and are asked to play in a business situation naturally let jealousy take over their common sense and react subversive which leads to a negative attitude towards golf.
“No, Golf is a waste of time..I’ve got better things to do.” or “ Are you kidding?!?..golf is for dweebs!”
Once a non-golfer starts heading down the path of promoting anti-golf-dom, it is hard to turn around so the best thing for them to do is make a positive reaction like..learning to play golf.
Again, learning to play golf when you don’t want to learn to play golf is not healthy either. However attempting to learn to play golf is worth the effort. Then after giving a wholehearted go at learning..say after two or three years… then stepping down from an offer of playing golf can be done with knowing what Golf is all about.
