The phrase &#8220;for the love of the game&#8221; means as much to them as a barber means to the Dalai Lama. They own golf clubs for one reason and one reason only: Networking at golf tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re Tourney Golfers and the summer months on their calendars are spattered with local charity golf events: Shotguns, Best Balls, Scrambles &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t mean a thing to them &#8211; as long as they get to mingle after the round while bellied-up to the raw bar.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re not there to grip-it and rip-it, they&#8217;re there to grip and grin; and market themselves or their product. Think I&#8217;m crazy? Let&#8217;s look at one such person (for the sake of anonymity, we&#8217;ll call him Tourney Golfer Bob).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Bob and I (along with two others) are paired up at this golf tournament a few years ago. Throughout the front 9, Bob&#8217;s yacking away about his law firm. It started out innocent enough: &#8220;Have you got any kids?&#8221; Me: &#8220;No, not yet.&#8221; Bob: &#8220;We&#8217;ll you know, my wife and I just revised our will to include our youngest.&#8221; Me: &#8220;Oh?&#8221; Bob: &#8220;Yep. It&#8217;s something to think about, you know &#8211; it happens to all of us.&#8221; Me: &#8220;What does?&#8221; Bob: &#8220;Death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Me: &#8220;PLUNK&#8221; (that was my next shot, smack-dab in the middle of a pond).<\/p>\n<p>Around the 15th hole, Bob opened up his bag to fetch more tees and that&#8217;s when I notice it. His bag pocket was stuffed with dozens of those little tee\/marker\/divot tool packs you receive on the first tee of most tournaments. Then I realized all his golf balls (he blew through his complimentary sleeve of three Pro V1&#8217;s in as many holes) were ALL logo balls. My eyes darted to his golf towel: &#8220;12th Annual Volunteer Fireman&#8217;s Scramble.&#8221; Umbrella: I couldn&#8217;t make it out completely, but it had the Marine Corps. logo and I could read the word &#8220;tournament.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Me: &#8220;So Bob, you were in the Marines?&#8221; Bob: &#8220;What&#8217;s that?&#8221; Me: &#8220;The Marines. Your umbrella has the Marine Corps. logo.&#8221; Bob: &#8220;Oh that! No. I won that in the raffle after I played in their local tournament last year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yep, I had the pleasure of being Bob&#8217;s 6th playing partner that summer. Coincidentally, it was also Bob&#8217;s sixth golf tournament that summer. By the time we were driving up to the 18th green, I had the whole story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Yeah, I never really played this game until I joined my present firm. One day I was talking to one of the partners who was telling me about this big client he just got. Turns out he met the guy at a golf tournament, so I figured; Hey, that&#8217;s not a bad idea. Here it is three years later and nearly 30 percent of my clients stem in some way, shape or form from someone I met playing in a golf tournament!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bob&#8217;s not alone. He knew of a few others that were doing the same thing. Suddenly, I was whisked back to California in 1849 &#8211; There&#8217;s Golf in Them Thar Hills! Wait, I meant &#8220;Gold&#8221; &#8211; no, I guess I actually meant &#8220;Golf.&#8221; Bob is a modern-day 49er &#8211; He recognized potential clientele and got out his pick, er, clubs and started digging.<\/p>\n<p>At the raffle after the round, guess who won the box of balls with the course&#8217;s logo on them? Last I saw Bob, he was slurping down a clam on the half shell while talking about product liability with the owner of a paint-ball complex.<\/p>\n<p>God, I love this game&#8230;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They&#8217;re out there and you may even know one.
