Corporate golf is back in business. Here’s why…
Thought corporate golf was on its way out? Think again. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, this activity is more popular than ever. Why? Because it’s great for networking, shaking off stress and building important skills within your team. Keep reading as we share four reasons why corporate golf is back in business.

It’s great for networking
Okay. Let’s set the scene. You’re out on a beautiful golf course. It’s a sunny day without a cloud in the sky. And you’re playing alongside like-minded professionals from your industry. Sounds like a perfect scenario to introduce yourself, right? Correct. Corporate golf is a great way to network effectively. This is because you’ll be driving, chipping and putting your way along the course with the very people you want to do business with. And in an informal setting, everyone has their guard down, so you can build a rapport. Exchange business cards. Talk up what you do. And offer your services if the moment is right. Just be sure to bring your A-game to truly seal the deal.

You can shake off the office stress
Stress. We all deal with it. So why not escape the pressure of work by treating your colleagues to a round or two of golf? The good news is you can do exactly that right here at Rossdale. Our course is truly beautiful. Picture sweeping fairways, native trees and plants, winding waterways and plenty of friendly wildlife too. Getting outdoors makes for the perfect way to reduce stress and anxiety. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, we promise you’ll have fun (and feel great too).
-
Friendly competition builds resilience (and a strong team)
Team building. Something that all businesses value. You’ll be glad to know that corporate golf offers this in spades. The reason being that golf requires concentration, focus, and strategy, and playing a round with coworkers can help build trust and teamwork. These skills can then be utilised in the office. For instance, if you need two departments to come together for a sales pitch, your team will be better prepared if they’ve been slogging away together over a beautiful golf course.
Quick tip: Corporate golf can also act as a way for managers to get to know their employees better and create a sense of camaraderie within the company.

Golf with your work pals? Sounds like fun.
The final reason why corporate golf is here to stay? It’s a world of fun. Business owners across the country are getting their staff involved in this rewarding pastime because everyone loves it. Think beautiful weather, the great outdoors plus a sport that everyone can enjoy. So go on, book your corporate golf day and see for yourself why people can’t get enough.
