Few tips can help you do wonders. For those of you who play already, choose one or two and make them a part of your business golf game. If you don’t play yet, these tips will inspire you to take up the game.

1. Plan your golf schedule:
One obstacle for many people is that they believe they do not have time to play. If time is an issue for you, then make it a goal, schedule time in your organizer or PDA for a reasonable number of rounds of golf or practice sessions you want to have per month. Golf is like a lottery. If you don’t buy the ticket, you’ll never win the jackpot! If you don’t play golf often, or don’t know how to play at all, you’re less likely to obtain the benefits of playing business golf.

2. Build as many links as you can:
Each golfer spends only a total of a few minutes actually hitting the ball. The rest of the time is spent talking and getting to know one another’s background, personality, and character in a relaxed atmosphere. Play more golf with clients, prospects, and referral sources to build and deepen your business relationships

3. Game never lies so follow the rules:
Playing a round of golf should solidify your business relationships.
When you play with someone who plays with poor etiquette or cheats during a round of golf that is a big turn-off .To make a positive impression about who you are and the company you work for play your business golf rounds with proper etiquette and know the basic rules of golf.

4. A Bet with your partners can turn ugly:
If you’re playing golf for business with clients or prospects, don’t suggest a bet. It creates a win-lose feeling, which isn’t what you want during a business golf round. If your playing partner suggests a wager, and you can’t get out of making one, then make it a small wager like drinks or lunch, rather than hard cash. Make sure you’re comfortable losing, and assume you’ve lost the bet.That way your competitiveness will not come out during the round and sabotage your relationship-building goal of the round.

5. Become a golf mentor!:
If you’re an experienced golfer, you might remember when you first started to learn the game. If you have a colleague, a client, a referral source, or someone you think could benefit from learning how to play golf, volunteer to be his or her golf mentor. You can start with the basics such as helping him find a golf instructor for swing lessons.

Although most of us don’t get the chance to become a millionaire but by keeping these tips in mind we can still play golf and make lots of money.
