I understand that not everybody likes golfing but if you do (or are thinking of getting into it) it really is a great way to network and build relationships. If you are trying to develop a relationship with someone golf has several key advantages. Here are a couple examples...

1. Depending on who you are offering it to, an invite to a game of golf might have a better chance than an invite to a boardroom meeting.

2. Depending if you are playing 9 or 18 holes that is approximately 2-4 hours you are spending with a person to build and establish your relationship. And chances are people are hungry after a golf game so you have time to eat too!!

3. Shows people you are not all about the business and have a personal side. So don't be bringing up business on the first hole. Wait till after the drink cart.

That being said, here are a couple photos from our latest Golf Event at Cardinal Club this past Tuesday. We all had a great time and will probably do it again shortly so stay tuned for more golf events. Who wants to be on the golf committee?

Note to self. Blues are far

Great vistas if you are shooting from the blues...

Every hole was pretty impressive...

 
Par for the course...

John Hotson with another great shot straight down the fairway. (and proof we were playing from the blues)

These were the only birdies I saw :(

The should hae had the G8 here and saved on the fake lake

The man with the Plan, John Traczyk coming back for another lap...

Another great view from the blues... in retrospect my scorecard would have looked alot better from the reds

An impromtu BNI meeting on the 12th hole...

Now this is where the rubber hits the road... and good thing as it would have been a long walk.

Dinner was also incuded for the whopping $47 dollars we paid for 18 holes (althought we only played 12) and a cart rental.

Leaving the clubhouse... Couldnt have asked for a better day to play... (well except maybe not a tuesday :)

Hope to see you out there next time!!
