I Don't Play Golf!

I dread the day I'm asked to play golf as part of a business regime.  I played once - not well - and I wasn't invited back.  So as my career progresses, in my free time I come up with lists of things to do with clients and colleagues that doesn't involve trying to hit a little ball with a metal stick.  Believe it or not, there are other ways to occupy time, elicit good conversation and relax.

I recognize that an easy way to fit in with 'the good old boys club', I need to buy a set of clubs, take lessons and find an invite.  It's a good thing I'm not a joiner (watch for upcoming blog 'Lonely at the Top').  I've also found many others enjoy good food and great conversation or relaxing and watching a sporting event at a bar and see them as excellent ways to get to know each other. 

I know I will encounter a number of things in my career I won't like - attending assigned dinners or events, perhaps traveling more than I'd like to be away from my family - but at least I won't endanger my clients, partners or suppliers swinging a metal stick at a little ball.

I thought I was the only one avoiding the career bolstering (or blundering, if you play like me) golf game. At least now we both now, it is not lonely from the sidelines...
