On a course today

Yes you've guessed it, a golf course. But it was work, honest. If you've seen me play golf, it was hard work at times. Today I took out a client and a business associate for a long overdue thank you by way of a game of golf. The sun split the sky and the course was in magnificent condition. I talked the other day about taking time out for a walk and smelling the roses and this certainly was a great way of doing it. No lycra, no gps computer strapped onto my wrist giving me the MI (management information) I need, only a simple target for each hole. One of the players did have a gps so we knew the distance to the hole which made it easier, that's assuming you know how far your ball flies for each club! But it's not all play. The game was sandwiched in between emails and legal contracts and a few phone calls as we have to keep the business running. (Thought I'd put that in just incase the office were checking up on me!) It's been a special day and managing to combine business and pleasure is something I should definately do more often. Back training tomorrow!
