golf at the office?

[padre]

I work in such a golf-friendly company that they actually let me practice on the grounds.

There's just enough room on the lawn to smack around Point 3 practice balls with a pitching wedge and not wind up in the street or parking lot, even with a moderate hook or slice (although I have nearly.... "faded" a few onto the roof of the building).

I eventually felt guilty enough about all the divots that I bought a ball striking mat to reduce damage to the grounds.

Anyone else get to play at work?

You could say I do, but, I work at a golf course. ha.

where i used to work (worked there for 14 years) my boss had a professional putting green installed outside the main office where we were. it was awesome. it had 3 holes, a huge undulating green and 2 sand traps..

As a buildng site manager ,top priority when setting up the site offices is to leave enough room between the buildings to be able to hang my golf net

Me and one other guy have offices upstairs and away from everyone else. There is a long hallway with the short industrial carpet that rolls really fast. We have an old putter, a sleeve of balls, and an inside cup that we putt to when we get bored, but not too often. We take two or three turns and go back to work. We will keep score through he year to see who does best.

My last duty station in the Army at Ft Drum, NY I use to hit balls on the Division parade field. Plenty of room there, probably over 1000 yards from one end to the other.


When I was stationed at Ft. Ord CA, we had a monthly Division Scramble on payday(last day of the month) that started around noon. On every payday we also had a mandatory Battalion formation around 09:00 AM. I was the "A" player on our team and my 1st Sergeant was also part of our foursome. He always let me skip the Battalion formation to go hit balls on the range to prepare for the tournament. Needless to say I was there for over 2 years and never went to a mandatory Battalion formation :)


That's about the best two deals I've had in the work place so to speak!

In my group we have 3 balls, an old putter and a automatic return hole. We don't use it all the time, but during the winter months it's gets it's fair share of use.

We have an AboutGolf simulator at work. So yes I play at work. I usually get 9 in during the day. There are a few golfers at work, but only 2-3 of us play on this regularly.

Needless to say I went from a 30 handicap down to 18 by practicing over 1 winter with this simulator, and I am hoping this next season to be around 10-12!

I play golf with clients as part of my job, so I guess I get to practice at work. We also have three hole golf course as we have turf management school where I work. They always need people to come take some divot out of it so they can practice care of the turf. I have only been out to do this 3 or 4 times, though I guess I could do it every day if I like

One of my friends works in a family business (very wealthy people) and they each have their own shops basically.  My friend has a golf simulator with camera setup, a huge putting green, and has some kind of swing plane machine ordered in his shop.  He goes down there every day at lunch.  It must be nice!!
