[originaltext] W: Hey, Robert...going on vacation? Looks like you’re planning

W: Hey, Robert...going on vacation? Looks like you’re planning on doing some golfing.
   M: Hi, Linda. Yes, I will be playing golf, but I’m not going on vacation. I’m meeting up 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.
   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. I read somewhere that a high percentage of senior business executives play golf.
   W: It sounds like it’s almost mandatory to learn golf if you want to climb the corporate ladder.
   M: It is a good way to recharge, but you’re right: golf primarily is a social sport. You get a chance to talk and get to know people on a different level on the golf course than you do in the boardroom.
   W: That’s interesting. I read an article once that says you can tell a lot about a person’s management style by how they play golf. Do you agree with that?
   M: Actually, yes. Say for example, you hit your ball into a sand trap...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. So what about you? Do you play any sports?
   W: I am on the ping-pong team. Ping-pong suits my temperament. It requires high concentration and quick decision-making skills. Unfortunately, ping-pong is not a game of choice for most business executives.
   M: Yeah...I don’t think CEOs like to get too sweaty. Are you interested in trying your hand at golf?
   W: I think I might be. Do I have to purchase a set of golf clubs to begin with?
   M: Not in the beginning. I’ll tell you what, let’s go out to the club and hit a few balls next Saturday morning. Who knows? You might get addicted.
   W: And like you said, playing golf is a good chance to expand my business networks.
   M: It certainly is. Well, I’ve got to take off. How does 7:30 next Saturday morning work for you?
   W: Sounds great! Thanks, Robert.
   M: Not at all. I’ll see you next week.
