Summary: Business Golf
Review: Great insight. A book that changed my entire approach. The first 2 "commandments" alone gave me insights as to why I was only having intermittent success for the last 20 years. I have shared this with my friends only to hear similar praises. This book was an investment not an expense.

Summary: A Business Essential
Review: I am in sales and have quite frequently been on the golf course with not only clients, but also prospective clients. This book answered many questions, and brought to the surface some points you would never think of. IE. What is appropriate? What to pay for, or not to pay for? How to deal with conflicts of interest?... and so on. There are many stories, experiences, and thoughts included that really make this book interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone in the business world, that has ever played the game of golf.

Summary: A NECESSARY RESOURCE
Review: It's a shame I didn't have this book 30 years ago. I've been entertaining clients on the golf course for that period of time and unfortunately, relying on my own inexperience, made some of the mistakes that mastering this book would have avoided. If golf is going to be part of your marketing plan, you have to have this book on your shelf.

Summary: Best overview of business/golf available
Review: Of the nine books I've read covering the topic of business on the golf course, I wish I'd read this one first. It's the only book that showed me how to play (and made me feel comfortable) with a high-handicap game while doing business on the course. I think more like me would use golf in business more often if they gave themselves 'permission' to play with better golfers. 'Business Golf ' showed me how, and I recommend it for anyone who plays occassionally and wants to add another sales/client relations tool to their business. I also strongly recommend it for scratch and low handicap golfers who want to make less-skilled clients/ prospects more comfortable in a golf setting. Summerall's stories are great. Also has good suggestions for golfing with businesswomen. Great book!

Summary: This is worthwhile!
Review: The is a quick read and a must-have for developing business relationships. The organization of the book makes it a good reference tool as well. I wish all business golfers would read this. The game of golf would be better off.

Summary: Business Golf: The Art of Building Business Relationships on
Review: These practical, effective lessons in Business Golf are invaluable, especially to a professional female like myself who plays occasionally. I have made insurance sales to prospective clients and maintained customer loyalty with business golf.I highly recommend this book as a must from golf professionals to individuals even remotely interested in playing. The tools and rules taught are quite useful for any and all playing skills. Right now I may have more passion than skills for playing the game, but every time I step on the course, my attitude and comfort is as good as anyone's. That's from what I learned about building business relationships on the links. It really is an art. This would be the perfect gift for clients or prospective clients regardless of their handicap. Sometimes in life, it really is how you play the game.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
Review: This book is a joke. Apart from the typos and syntax errors, the content is weak. There is very little information regarding doing business on the course, just golf etiquitte in general and stories about people who happened to have some success building business relationships. I got the distinct impression that the authors would rather have written a book on their history of covering pros, but decided that a book on business on the course would sell better.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
Review: This book is not for the non-golfer looking for reasons to take up the game. Full of golf lingo and references to past tournaments (you *do* remember the surprise ending of the Such-and-Such tournament in 1988, don't you?), it will leave new golfers scratching their heads wondering what's the point of most of the stories presented here. Other than that, the book is very poorly written and even more poorly edited, with far more than its share of misspelled words, run-on sentences and sentence fragments. Certainly there is a need for books on how to conduct business on the golf course, but there have to be better books than this one on the subject. My advice is to keep looking.

Summary: Mandatory reading
Review: This book should be mandatory reading for anyone who has any contact with customers. It gives the 1-2-3 of taking a business associate to play golf and its common sense approach offers insights that are valuable off the course as well. The co-authors' stories are lots of fun and will remind the reader of similar tales from their own courses. I gave it to my CPA and told him to read it before the next time we play!
