Have you been invited to the golf course by your boss? Whether you’re a seasoned player or it’s your first time on the green, showing that you prepared for the game and took the time to learn about the sport will make you come across as dedicated and professional. Here are some guidelines to follow to help you prepare to hit the field.

How to Keep Up With Your Boss on the Golf Course

Review the Game

It’s likely that your boss didn’t invite you to play with them simply for fun. An outing on the golf course allows you to demonstrate how you handle any situation, be it professional, relaxed, or stressful. To prepare yourself, consider heading to the driving range and practicing a few swings so you have some golf skills to show off. The more confident you are in your abilities, the less likely you are to be nervous.

Refresh Etiquette

Besides being able to hold your own against your boss and other staff, it’s polite to understand the rules and etiquette of the sport. Dress comfortably but avoid jeans, tank tops, and sloppy shirts. On the big day, put your cell phone away and be a good sport to demonstrate that you work well in a team. If there are many players on the field, pay close attention to everyone’s turn to ensure you don’t miss yours or slow down the process. Knowing golfing terminology can also help you keep up with field conversations and impress your manager.
