A few weeks ago I did a two hour workshop for the management team of a global software giant. The title of the workshop was "Management Lessons from Golf". I was a little sceptical about doing a workshop like this for a group of non-golfers, since I was not sure how they would relate to the lessons without having ever played the game.
Fortunately my fears were unfounded. The session was a big hit with the group. It became a vehicle for them to get a better understanding of the sport, its amazing lure, and the reason so many people play the sport around the world. I was also able to share the lessons the game has taught me over the years. All in all a very good session.
While doing research on the topic, I came across this youtube video about top US athletes from other sports taking up golf for the challenge it offers. Why do hall of fame athletes from other sports take up golf? You will find the answer in this PGA Tour video on youtube.
