Why golf is great for your business team bonding

If you are planning a business conference in Victoria, it could pay to look to Mornington Peninsula for the main event. As well as offering high-quality accommodation and meeting facilities, the region is also home to world-class golf courses.

And why should you care about golf when on a business trip?

Well, this sport may just be the most important team building experience you and your partners take part in. Research from around the globe has found that golf can provide many personal and business benefits, as explained by Golfing Executives in the tweet below:

Here are just three of the key benefits golf can provide your business conference:

Encourages strong business relationships

One of the great things about golf is how players only spend a small percentage of a four-hour game actually swinging their clubs, so there is plenty of time to talk to your partners, clients and managers as you move through the course.

It is no surprise, then, that golf has long been associated with the corporate world as a great way to network and build strong business relationships. Studies have shown that the majority of executives believe golf is good for networking with colleagues, business partners and clients. Golfing Executives again outlined the vast number of professionals who use golf to improve their business below:

Enhancing important business skills

Another important feature of golf is the skills it requires. With an emphasis on technique and focus, golf helps develop some of the most crucial business acumen.

Golf typically rewards those players who remain calm under pressure and are able to think strategically. These reflect well in the workplace, so developing these skills through a game of golf is a great way to boost effectiveness in business.

Provides benefits for health and fitness

For workers who rarely leave the office, golf can provide impressive physical health benefits. Playing this sport helps burns calories and improves your mental and physical wellbeing.

The potent mix of fresh air, exercise and talking with friends can quickly reduce stress and boost health, ultimately leading to an increase in job satisfaction. This is an obvious benefit for both the individual and the business as a whole.
