Thanks for putting on such a great event, even though they were soggy, everyone said that they had a great time and would love to do it again. A few of us also discussed holding A Night on the Range Event as well. I made sure to check in with all of the first time golfers and they all were really appreciative of the mentors and would defiantly play again.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful and non-threatening way for me to learn more about golf. I really enjoyed the round of golf and found the after-game talk very informative. My company had a golf outing yesterday - and while I can't say that I played anywhere near the level I would like, I felt far more confident on the course.

  • Demystifying golf tournaments – how to be physically and mentally prepared
  • Creative business golf outings – strategic planning incorporating golf (even for beginning golfers)

This program can be staged simultaneously with a golf tournament. Participants arrive after the main group goes out on the course and they join the tournament participants for the awards ceremony.

I would like to get in the habit of including your program in the tournaments AP helps organize as well. There are so many potential golfers out there and now that I personally got a taste of the program-I am your biggest fan!
Truly amazing experience for a very hesitant golfer!

"On behalf of Tucson CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women), and personally, I want to congratulate you on the outstanding golf function you organized for our group. To take a group of 25 green golfers, give them encouragement and instruction in how to get out on the course in a business or social environment armed with the do’s and don’ts, have a good time, establish some business relationships and get invited back again, is quite an accomplishment. And then to actually take them out on the course and have them playing, having fun, observing golf etiquette and even making some shots, is nothing short of remarkable!"

~Kathleen Wilke, VP, GMAC Commercial Mortgage 


"Excellent outing! Thank you so much for helping me gain the confidence to play golf and do deals while I am at it! "

2 Day Golf School

According to an attitudinal study by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. conducted in April 2002 entitled, "From the Boardroom To The Back Nine: The Importance of Golf In Business"
  • 50% of the respondents identified a “round of golf” as the most valuable activity to get to know business associates and clients well. "A business lunch or dinner" is a distant second at 34%.

  • Besides acknowledging the social aspects of golf, executives in this survey also claim that golf is the best arena for the creation of business deals. Golfing with a business associate or client is a good way "to establish a closer relationship" (97%).

  • 58% of executives say the way a person plays golf is very similar to the way he or she conducts business.

Participants can attend the entire series or individual workshops.
