ROI Returns on YOUR Investment

Golf Mind RX™ can provide a return on your off site meeting or golf event investment that will last long after the event is over.

Off-site meetings and golf outings have become a traditional method of spending quality time with clients, rewarding outstanding employees, and teambuilding. Investing in these relationships, generating appreciation and loyalty are smart objectives. No one can argue that the returns on this investment can be well worth the expense, as long as those returns are realized.

Most of your employees and clients are already time-challenged and we often hear them complain about endless meetings with little or no results. Golf Mind Rx™ develops customized programs to fit your company's specific objectives, schedule and budget.

Golf Mind Rx™ and the Golf Mind Rx™ Profile programs will differentiate your event from those of your competitors and will stimulate and motivate your best employees. Our applications to sales, leadership, teambuilding and strategic thinking is unique. The approach to these vital areas, using golf as the language and the lure, guarantee noticeable improvement in communications and performance, as well as better golf, for participants.

The Golf Mind Rx™ Profile is a non-threatening, entertaining way to

Self - Awareness, both on and off the course
Self-Mastery - on the course, at work and in life
How to read and reach others.
Recognize the differences in motivations and decision-making.

Don't let this happen to you! Good Intentions and Bad Outcomes.

A company CEO, Tim, took his sales managers away for a combined sales meeting and golf weekend. He had long been irritated by one of the managers, Ned, and had come to disregard him in general. His disapproval was generally known. Another well-intentioned manager was in charge of the foursomes for the mini golf tournament and decided that the best way to build a better relationship between the two was to put them in the same foursome to work as a "team."

Ned was a "new" golfer and inexperienced in such events, and showed up with borrowed clubs and little else. By the 8th hole, Ned had lost a dozen ProV1 golf balls, given to him along with many other nice gifts by the CEO. Ned had not thought to bring any golf balls with him so he asked Tim if he had any more he could have. No answer.

Ned spent the rest of the round losing the balls kindly donated by the other two in the foursome, joking about his inability to play, and everything else he could think of as the CEO fumed and proceeded to deteriorate with each shot.

Not only was the CEO furious about Ned's seemingly ungrateful attitude, he perceived a lack of substance and maturity, woeful planning and consideration of others and more importantly, was horrified about Ned being with clients or his new sales associates. The other managers felt responsible for Ned's further fall from grace, and also disappointed in their own experience that they had so anticipated.

It was a downer of a day in spite of the beautiful setting, the generosity of the CEO, and the camaraderie of the team in general.

The group learned the importance of understanding the differences in perspectives, and how those dynamics are intensified during 5 hours of interaction on the golf course, and especially when two opposites are riding in the same cart.

The best of intentions can have disastrous outcomes when we are unaware of inherent incompatibilities. It can be the difference between a establishing a successful relationship or ending one.
