The only woman's guide to using golf in business.
Playing golf has long been used by businessmen to advance their careers, but many women are just warming up to the notion of using the game to get ahead. As the only golf book focusing on women who "need to know golf" to succeed at work, On Course for Business contains tips, techniques, and hints that will help the approximately 5.5 million women golfers use the golf course for business and career advancement. This book offers practical advice on business golf for both novice and experienced women golfers that can't be found anywhere else. As women advance further into traditional "male" fields, they will be looking for a guide that addresses this specific need. Suzanne Woo simply explains the role of golf in business, and shows how women can take advantage of this business ritual now.

"The green and tee are where you offend people because you're closer together. Most important, she talks about learning to enjoy the game. People are not going to remember that you're not a great golfer. Master that, and the rest of the stuff, such as corporate outings and tournaments, become a day in the park." (USA TODAY, June 11, 2002)
