Do you and Should you have a decent golf game vol. socializing activity

[ziostilon]

NT, do you think having a decent golf game should be necessary by the time you hit your mid-20s. Even better if you got it when your're 18, 19.

Now that summer is here, i see more younger folks hitting the course

im asking a broader audience, since this question is partially about socializing.

not every NTer goes into S&T.

 

[antbanks81]

I'm behind the curve on this one...I hope to get started sometime this summer

it aint cheap, only my rich friends do it.

its good for networking, from what I hear.
but so is being a prostitute or frat member.

Depends on your ambitions/aspirations

If you're taking the corporate route and plan on getting a job above the middle management level: Senior management, Vice president level, c-levelexecutive, board of directors, etc. I highly suggest you learn how to golf.

If you plan on working at any sort of consulting firm where you will be doing pitches to clients, I highly suggest you learn how to golf.

Those are intangible skills that a lot of people take for granted. You don't have to be good, just good enough to socialize/network.

If you're reading gauges at a factory or assembling computer chips................eh golf for fun, but it's not going to help you in your career.

There are managers at my work who actually paid golf lessons simply so they could golf with clients/customers and other upper management. From what I hear alot of people are horrible and are simply at the golf course to play the game of Corporate America and not golf. When you're rich though, the golf lessonsare not a big dent in your wallet.

 

[retr0sxual]

I've never played Golf in my life.

I need to get on that.

 

[Nouss]

I like the range much more.

[theswoosh]

In the next 5 years I can see my self playing golf, but for now its cycling, and snowboarding.

 

[og_Rodney]

I go to the driving range every now and again. My footing needs work,

 

[luckyluchiano]

Lol We actually have Golf Classes at my school, and were being taught how to utilize it to for our careers.

Needles to say I suck,but when I connect I`m like Barry Bonds

 

[mc miker]

Im not very good, but i got a hole in one when i was 15 years old. It was the most lucky thing ever. my friend DJ Sven can back me up on this, he was there.
The most i play a summer is ten or so rounds.

 

[fenixconnexion.]

i'm 18 and have never gone golfing...

 

[ku jhawx]

I should be a lot better than I am...(My dad was a PGA Professional) and I work at a Golf Course...I played yesterday and shot 108

...I plan to play 2-3 times a week this summer though...especially since Iplay for free

 

[vctry20]

It definitely couldn't hurt, I don't think it hurts not to

 

[dajoka004]

I'm trying to go. I've only been once. I was terrible. Sliced everything. Stupid 14 years of baseball.

 

[casperjr]

driving range > golf

but i look at it as a older rich folks sport

so yes im taking steps to learning the other areas of the game cuz i plan on being one of them old rich folks

 

[carolcitysfinest]

ill stick to the driving range,driving the golf cart and tiger woods pga tour....takes too long to learn the correct way to play golf.
