I was going to post on the Omega World Cup, as it featured some of my favorite golfers...but it turns out I don't have to; Golf Gal did it for me. Check out her post on this terrific tournament. Turns out she's a big fan of team play, like I am, and she's got similar taste in On a more troubling note, Golf Gal also astutely observed that the victorious Colin Montgomery had put on a few pounds. As far as I'm concerned one thing we don't need is a fuller Monty.
OK, Are You and Golf Gal starting Team Blogging on Golf?...yeah!
ReplyDeletemr biz golf
ReplyDeleteare you kidding? your career is to show people how to do biz while playing golf? wtf is our world coming to? do people actually pay you to advise them on how to grow biz on the golf course?
let me guess about your advice:
1. pay their fees
2. let them win
3. let them take as many mulligans as they need to.
4. kiss their ass alot
5. buy them dinner
6. buy them drinks
7. let them talk about themselves alot
8. tell them how great they play
9. buy them a lesson package at your club
10. get them laid after golf and drinks
is that your biz model? it is as old as the dirt in texas man!
A fuller Monty, that's funny.
ReplyDeleteOh, BTW Mr. Anonymous, there is a definite demand in the corporate community for advice and coaching on how to better use golf in business. Networking, bonding, pitching an idea or sealing a deal can all be enhanced and or accelerated by effective use of golf however it's not in the least intuitive, as you suggest. And that's where people like Mr. Business Golf come in.
Personally, I was delighted to see Scotland win.
ReplyDeletedear jennifer
ReplyDeleteyou must be a former client trying to justify money poorly spent on advice that should come natural to anyone with half a brain.
do you realize that our corporate culture is so riddled with consultants that executives don't do anything anymore? We are in a sad and desperate decline and it is nitwits like you that are adding gasoline to the fire!
JENNIFER
ReplyDeleteLET ME PEEK INSIDE YOUR CAT-MAN-DOO! YOUR ANGER IS FABULOUS.
Dear Jennifer
ReplyDeleteGolf and business are not intuitive to you because you are a chick. Guys get it and do not need such advice, I think that is what anon 4:40 is trying to point out in his somewhat unusual way. So I guess as long as "nitwits" exist in the business world mr. business golf will have clients.
Jennifer, are you a client?
Anon 4:40, Anon 9:49, Anon 4:27 - Are you guys by any chance related...like really closely related? Just seems like you all have a very similar point of view, and ... you're all Anons. Strange.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, so... chicks don't get business and chicks don't get golf. OK, whatevs.
I'm not a business golf client myself, however I have several friends who are. One is a golf course owner who desired more information and insight on how to make his course more friendly to the local business community. Another is a "golf pro - turned real estate pro" who felt he needed advice on playing golf with clients or potential clients, ie. when during the outing to discuss business, how to set up the outing, and just general tips on how to make it more effective. Then there's my accountant. He's a tennis guy, never played golf growing up. He took some lessons and developed a good swing, but didn't quite know his way around a course (and its etiquette) well enough to feel comfortable playing with clients and in tournaments. Each of these successful, highly functioning men called upon business golf specialists for specific issues and each got exactly what he needed.
I think you guys (or guy)need to be a bit more open minded about things. You'll have less anger that way. d:)
Jennifo ma bitch
ReplyDeleteYou one smuth ho fo shoa. You kik'in it real fine putt'in dem motha fucka's way down in da hole.
are you in da game, yo?
ok jennifer
ReplyDeletelet's look at your supposed examples:
the first 2: a golf course owner and a pro turned developer - these guys (if they really existed) would be members of both the pga of america and the usga, both of whom have reams and reams of examples and models built on how to attract business to a golf course/the correct way to hold a business outing as well as just social outings, fundraiser outings etc., etc., etc.
The pro turned developer would know lot's of other pro's at competing golf courses - guess what ? these guys all know each other, play each others courses (they comp each other btw) and the combined knowledge base of these "local guys" is very good - no matter where you go in the good old usa - so why would a guy like this need to hire some guy to tell him and all his industry contacts what they already know - not to mention the specific pga programs that this guy would have access to.
the third guy - the tennis playing accountant turned golfer who is too stupid to figure out the etiquitte for himself - this is a bogus example created by a chick - no guy would fall for such a stupid line as - "hey buddy i will teach you the etiquitte of the game" - for a fee? an accountant? he would never fall for such a lame sales pitch.
conclusion: jennifer, all three of your examples are bullshit - completely made up, complete vapor- like what is obviously between your ears!!!
Anon 3:19,
ReplyDeleteOn that happy note I'll simply repeat the concluding paragraph from my last comment,
"I think you guys (or guy)need to be a bit more open minded about things. You'll have less anger that way. d:)"
Beloved Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteYou must work in some sort of hospitality and marketing capacity to think that spending money to get a business golf consultant is actually being fiscally responsible.
Any guys who needs a golf consultant to tell them how to behave in business golf environment is either very rich or very pussy-whipped, or both...
Sad indeed...
hey jen-a-fool
ReplyDeletewhy don't you hire a consultant to see if the anon blogs are the same or just several guys who don't buy into your politically correct bullshit? that possibility probably never entered your narrow-assed, oh so politically correct mind.
ps i am not angry. that is another popular thing that p.c. chicks and their girlymen friends like to say -like the "you complete me" line you always hear from this "set".
but i'm not angry, i'm just laughing my ass off bec. i know that mr. business golf probably does have some clients.. chicks like you and their poor, poor boyfriends or husbands who must go marching over the ledge, like lemmings, everytime dopey broads like you get a lame ass idea in their heads like hiring a golf consultant.
good god, mr. hogan must be rolling in his grave.
