But there are tangible professional benefits to learning the club-and-ball sport. More than 70% of Fortune 1000 CEOs said they had done business with someone they met on the golf course, the researchers note, citing a report they reviewed. Additionally, 80% of Fortune 500 executives said golf has helped their careers, according to separate research they studied and cite in the 2020 study.
"A misconception is that a lot of hard selling goes on on the golf course and that's not accurate," Gray said."It's developing the relationship and understanding who a person is and getting to know them." Men on the course build diverse networks by bonding with executives with different backgrounds over a shared interest — whacking a small dimpled ball down the fairway.
Don’t forget it also hurts minorities and the poor.

Not knowing how to play golf is the universe is greatest gift!
surely not men either…
Who still plays golf... Is there pockets of 1960 some where in this country
This goes for women and men. I understand it is a higher percentage of women, but man or woman, it’s a really good networking thing. Everyone has been terrible at golf before. Literally almost no one picks up a club and is good. It’s relatable. If there’s a golf thing….go
What's to know? Hit the ball, then walk. 😨
But not playing golf has saved me many thousands of hours of horrendous boredom
If this is true, it is ridiculous. Golf is a sport for the rich.
