W: Hey, Robert. Looks like you’re planning on doing some golfing.
M: Yes, I will be playing golf. I’m meeting up with our New York office’s senior management team. We’ll be playing a few rounds and going over the merger plans.
W: Really? So when did you take up the sport?
M: Around two years ago, I began to realize that if I could get on the golf course with other senior executives, it could open a lot of doors for me. At first I didn’t really enjoy it, but now I’m almost a golf fanatic (狂热者).
W: I see. So you meet a lot of business executives on the course, huh?
M: Yeah, definitely. It’s a good way to network.
W: Isn’t golf really expensive?
M: To be perfectly honest, golf is a bit of a status symbol, and yes, it can be an expensive game. There are green fees, caddy fees and charges for renting the golf cart.
W: But the business opportunities are worth it.
M: Absolutely. Networking is a big plus, but I think another reason executives enjoy the golf course is that it gives them an excuse to get out in the fresh air and connect with nature.
W: I can understand that. If you turn off your cell phone or Blackberry, you can hear birds chirping and enjoy a fresh breeze. It’s a nice break from a hectic (繁忙的,忙乱的) office.
M: It is a good way to recharge. But you’re right, golf primarily is a social sport. You get more chances to talk and get to know people on a different level on the golf course than you do in the boardroom (董事会会议室).
W: But how can you play with people who’ve been golfing for 20 years? Isn’t it embarrassing?
M: Golf has a system called "handicapping", and the system does its best to level out the differences in skill. It’s quite common for a novice (新手,初学者) to play alongside a more experienced golfer.
W: That’s interesting. I read an article once that says you can tell a lot about a person’s management style by how he plays golf. Do you agree with that?
M: Actually, yes. Say for example, you hit your ball into a sand trap, and the way you react to that demonstrates a great deal about your character.
W: So the executives on the golf course are all sort of sizing each other up?
M: Absolutely. Are you interested in trying your hand at golf?
W: I think I might be. And like you said, playing golf is a good chance to expand my business networks.
M: It certainly is. Hope you will join us someday.
W: Sounds great! Thanks, Robert.
M: Not at all. I’ll see you next week.
