We tracked down the executives profiled on the following pages to ask them about their game and collect some golfing stories. Here’s what we found out: Golf is more than a game. It’s a chance to cement friendships, to bond with kids. It’s a rare opportunity to watch, up close and personal, professionals performing at the peak of their careers. Golf can honor departed friends, celebrate successes and give people a chance to laugh at themselves.
“Play for the love of the game and the friendships that are made on the course,” advises one of our profile subjects. “Relax and enjoy,” says another.
It’s good advice.
