Business golf is about keeping the ball in the fairway and then strolling out there with your client instead wandering through the rough looking for your stupid ball. None of those guys give a rip if you 4 putt but they are gonna lose interest in this outing REALLY fast if you keep stealing the cart to go find your ball OOB"
I'll be damned if he's not right. If you could just hit everything 225 and straight, that's PERFECT for business golf..

When I moved here to FL the one thing a buddy told me was to improve my golf game....so for Christmas that year my wife bought me a primo set of clubs....and I spent the money for lessons.
The first thing the Pro told me.....stop trying to hit the damn ball so hard....you are never going out outdrive John Daly. The next thing he said made the most sense to me......
He said...remember when your HS Baseball coach taught you to drive the ball right up the middle of the field every time......well that is golf too....yu don't have to hit the home run ball, just get it straight down the fairway on your drive and learn to play a short game and putt well.
Best advice every....I actually rarely use my driver, save for a really long Par 5.....and my golf game (before my heart attack) vastly improved.
I suddenly became the guy people would call if they needed to fill out a 4 some and not drag out the day chasing balls.
