Business on the Golf Course

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.
