Hi,
I would like to know how do you leverage golf to network with potential clients. Also, is it a good tool?

It’s an activity that most professionals I’ve interacted with enjoy playing. If you go to a golf tournament for a charity, meet a few people each time. When you meet someone professionally, you can invite them golfing to build a better relationship.

We bring clients out to one of the nicer country clubs around Chicago. Tell them to bring a friend and let them know who we are looking to work with. It’s been pretty successful.

Mostly Medinah. Have used probably 8-10 other ones for clients in the past few years but only once each.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?

Any Sydney-based golfing fish in the bowl?

I’m looking at lessons with a pro. They offer packs of 30 min (6-pack) and 60 min (3-pack) sessions. Is there a benefit to one over the other? Is 30 too short or 60 too long?

I’ve never taken lessons before, just played my whole life. I’m a mid 80s golfer trying to get more consistent and break into the high 70s.

For ladies club, how would you rank the various brands? I.e, what are the Tier 1, 2, and so forth.

Anyone recommend a good started set of clubs? Going back to the game after 7-8years, so not sure what’s good these days to restart.

My bad if already asked - would be great if you can redirect. Thanks!
