Inhaltsangabe

It's finally here: golf for the office! No more Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5 angst. No more interminably dreary Februarys. No more staring out the window on the first warm days of Spring, aching to be somewhere else. Now, hours once wasted planning, managing, manufacturing, selling, marketing, lawyering, and accounting can be put to productive use in putting, driving, and chipping. From how to set up a course in the conference room to facing a stairwell hazard--over or down?--The Complete Office Golf shows how to make a job seem like something you wouldn't mind doing for a living.

Profusely illustrated with instructional line art and photographs, Office Golf has it all: how to identify other obsessive, yet clandestine, golfers in the workplace (they refer to hallways as fairways and practice their Vardon grips on rulers); course design, including potted plants, water coolers, and other hazards; turf management; the short game--desk lobs, deciding whether to go under or over; specialized clubs; plus how to turn a supply closet into the essential 19th hole.

Bound into this eminently functional book are 12 color cardstock pages with 9 punch-out, reusable golf holes; a USOGA membership card; a bag tag; and a scorecard template.

Thank God It's Monday!

CARPET GRAIN, POTTED GORSE, AND THE PLEASURES OF A BOARDROOM DOGLEG

Sanctioned by the O.O.G.A. (Official Office Golf Association), here is everything the employed golfer needs to transform hallways into fairways and water coolers into water hazards. Includes full instructions and rules, dozens of illustrations, punch-out holes, a historical time line, and strategies for not getting caught by non-playing managers. Because what you do for a living shouldn't get in the way of what you do to feel alive.
