PGA Golf Properties™ and Going for the Green™Announce Alliance Promoting "Business Golf"PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida—PGA Golf Properties and Going For The Green—a subsidiary of Leadership Technologies, Inc.—announce a new alliance to conduct business/golf clinics at the world class PGA Learning Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida, beginning in January 2003. The course strengthens leadership and relationship-building skills by giving participants a new approach to the game of golf. “When players become frustrated with the game because of their score, they stop enjoying golf,” says Going For The Green president Doug Peterson. “But people don’t remember us for our score, they remember our character on the course. Why not change the goal of the game from that of score, to being remembered as a great playing partner? This new game perspective relieves pressure, enhances fun, and as a result lets you play better.” Going For The Green’s Learning To Become A Great Playing Partner 2-day seminar includes a mix of facilitated instruction, causal roundtable discussion, and interactive practice exercises. Using a combination of expert facilitators and PGA teaching professionals, the clinics help individuals strengthen self-management and relationship-management skills—not to mention time on the course tuning up their grip, alignment, posture, and swing—to prepare them for the challenges of golf, business and life. “Approximately 95 percent of today’s business leaders play golf to build strategic business relationships,” says Jim Magnusson, PGA Golf Properties marketing manager. “Our joint venture will provide a dynamic opportunity for those who wish to use the wonderful game of golf to strengthen client relationships, and improve leadership and relationship-building skills.” Golf is a wonderful metaphor for life and a great way to learn emotional intelligence—character-defining qualities like communication, self-management and interpersonal skills—because as M. Scott Peck says in Golf and the Spirit, you experience more emotional turmoil yard for yard in golf than in any other endeavor. And these skills account for over 80% of the abilities that distinguish average leaders from high-performers, according to Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence. Tuition for the 2-day seminar is $1,500 per person, which includes executive lodging, meals and ground transportation. Special rates and accommodations are also available for groups, corporate sales meetings and retreats. For more information or to make reservations, contact Going For The Green toll-free at (877) 244-5664 or visit their web site at www.going4thegreen.com. Information is also available by calling the PGA Learning Center at (800) 800-4653 or visiting their web site at www.pgavillage.com.
