Well as many of us play the game, we know what fun and what a marketing tool that golf can sometimes be. I use it myself to get some 1 on 1 time with my clients and to really show them how I am and how I conduct my business. It isn't about giving away something for free. That might get them there on the course or to the lunch table, but they will get a feel for me and know what I am about. My goal is to create a relationship that is of the utmost importance in our business. Build relationships with people in real estate services and don't be a "give away" specialist or give your clients to people that only give loads of stuff away. It is up to you to create your team of trusted people, not just the guy who is going to give you some "gift" every once and a while. It should be about quality, the service people that you provide for your customers reflect back on you and how you do your business. A qualitly process creates happy clients and a referral network that keeps you in this business through every up and down time in the market. How are you going to explain yourself to your customer when something goes wrong? Are you going to tell them that they had a bad experience only because of using that certain person or service was to benefit your personal gain? I think not....sorry for the rant but, now for a little fun for all your golfers. Just a few sayings that a friend sent me that are good for a laugh, oh how true some of them are!

Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.
If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme putt", you might wish to reconsider this game.
