OK, I have a few associates in the town in which I reside that include some fairly prominent businessmen.  I have the opportunity to golf with these gentlemen coming up.  My question is, should I offer to pay for the 4-some?  You see the 3 guys golfing with me are very much a part of the fabric in our community. It could be a golden opportunity for our business. 

The other part of this question is....how often do you take your clients out for a meal.  There is an agent in our office that recently had a client that she took out home hunting on 9 different occassions.  She ended up buying her client a meal at 8 of those!  I too buy meals for my clients but must admit that usually by the second day they are forcing me to let them buy.  Any thoughts?
