Golf offers this unique thing that you can talk when you are playing and there is ample of opportunity of that. The game of golf can also be paced and played according to the leisurely pace. That is especially true when there is no rush on the course.
This reason alone has made sure that golf is the most like game of the big wigs of a company and even across companies. In fact nowadays there are tournaments which are solely meant for the corporate folks who play golf. There is no such sport as golf which is taken that seriously by the industry captains.
So if you want to join the big league then your best bet is to learn the golfing skills by skilled golfer and join a golf club. These golf clubs are sometime very exclusive and it is tough to get membership. In fact some clubs have a waiting period of 5 to 10 years. However you can begin by joining a lesser known club. The trick is to go as guest of the person who has a membership of the exclusive club. If you get to know a real big wig of the industry then it may so happen that you may get the membership earlier or she introduces you to the club.
Once you are there the daily interactions and the long chats on the course will benefit in terms of networking as well as showing your business sense while discussing company strategies with the big guys.
Golf is considered to be the best networking area as far as the career is concerned. Even in the top rung MBA schools golf is taught so as to help the students survive the corporate world.
So take up playing golf and you will get some good success in your career.
