There’s no doubt that businesses as a whole benefit from the game, and it’s evident that many individuals thrive when work is transferred to a golfing environment. Numerous studies have shown a link between golf and business success. In a [fascinating survey](https://www.economist.com/game-theory/2011/11/21/why-golfers-get-ahead), it was found that executives who play golf are paid 17 per cent more than those who don’t. There are two possible explanations for this. The first is that the qualities and attributes held by golfers (patience, endurance, competitiveness) are also compatible with being an excellent worker and so golfers are naturally more successful in business than non-golfers. The second is that business deals, relationships and client communication is strengthened on the golf course, putting golf-playing executives ahead of the game and more likely to achieve better business results. Whatever the explanation (and, of course, they are not mutually exclusive), it is obvious that golf can benefit businesses and workers concurrently. **Golf as a team-building exercise** Recent movements have encouraged workplaces to become more flexible with their employees, often seeing improvements in worker performance when staff are given time away from the office, flexi-hours, team-building away-days and good welfare packages. Corporations are often on the hunt for enjoyable, productive team-building activities to motivate and reward employees, and we think golf is the ideal pursuit. Here’s why: Golf can be played by all abilities Thanks to the handicap system, golf can be played fairly by people of varying golfing abilities. What’s more, at PlayMoreGolf, you can enjoy the benefit of a handicap at clubs other than your home club, so even if you’re away on business in another part of the country visiting clients, this will be an option. Golf can be played by people of all ages Unlike, let’s say, tennis or squash, golf is a game that is fun and accessible whether you’re 18 or 80. In today’s widespread workforce demographic where people are retiring later than ever, this is especially important. Golf can bridge the gap between generations and give employees from different backgrounds a level footing. Golf nurtures good character American professional golfer Arnold Palmer said, *‘Success in golf depends less on strength of the body and more on strength of the mind and character’*. And he’s right! Golf teaches patience, competitiveness, perseverance and sportsmanship. It nurtures good humour, self-awareness and honesty. And these traits are all transferable to the workplace. **How PlayMoreGolf Can Help** Given that golf continues to be a preferred choice among business people, we are pleased to offer a Corporate Deal for small, medium or large businesses. Starting at only £1,355 + VAT, you will be able to entertain staff, colleagues or clients at their chosen home club but also using their away points at the other PlayMoreGolf clubs across the UK.

Gone are the days when your only option was a fixed annual fee, regardless of how often you actually make it onto the course. Points based golf memberships have emerged as a flexible alternative, and for many golfers, they've changed what it means to belong to a club. PlayMoreGolf pioneered this approach back in 2016, creating the first network linking individual golf clubs under one flexible membership system.
