10 Ways the game of Golf is similar to an Open House! (humor)

By
Real Estate Agent

I have listed below some ways that the game of golf and hosting an open house are similar to one another. Thanks and I hope that you enjoy.

Golf and open houses are similar because;

1. Sometimes it can be expensive, but you do it anyway.

2.Sometimes the people in front of you (FSBO neighbors) cause you to score bad.

3. Sometimes you can invest countless hours and still can not perfect it.

4. You usually ask your friends (mort/title reps.) to do it with you.

5. You usually try to to it when the weather is good.

6. Sometimes you just want to scream. (a curse word of choice / where are the buyers)

7. Sometimes you just can't wait to get to the nineteenth hole.

8. There is usually a lot of prayer involved. (let me hit this one right/ please just send me one buyer)

9. Every now and then, you are successful.

10. There is always that one shot (buyer) that keeps you coming back.

Hope you have enjoyed the 10 ways golf and open houses are similar!

Great Analogy David - I love playing Golf (although it doesn't love me as much, if you know what I mean:)

It's a humbling sport and so is our profession!

Thanks for sharing this

Sincerely,

Grace

David,  The good thing about an open house is that I never made a snowman yet!

Cute!  I have never thought of golf and and open house together but you make a good case for it.  If we have to make a choice, we'll always take golf!

I agree with you Bruce & Mary, I would much rather be out on the links having a good time with my friends rather then sitting in a house with no visitors. Wouldn't everyone?
