Business on the Golf Course
March 1st, 2004 by gregr
Most folks will agree…a lot of business gets done on the golf course. Balls are lost, but relationships are formed and deals are made.
Jeff Sandquist recently posted about getting folks together to play Links 2004 on XBOX Live, and I thought, “fun idea”. It wasn’t until I talked with Jeff later that I realized the power behind such a simple idea. Not only are you playing the game, but you’re chatting with the players in your group. A friendly game of golf, between folks from Microsoft and ISV’s. Friendly banter. Competition on the course. Relationships are made, which are the foundation of a successful business.
I wish I had thought of it. Count me in.

The sign of a true S/W geek, when the extent of your game of golf is with an Xbox :>) Then again, you’ll never have to buy new clubs, pay exorbitant greens fees, or deal with slow movers in front of you, either. But, you can still partake of the requisite beer intake during your round.
