Description
Office golf must be the ultimate game of adaption, Office Golf is a challenging sport. Consider, for instance, the problems presented by various floor coverings; from carpet to solid smooth surfaces. consider the potential hazards of desks, potted plants and filling cabinets. Even stairs and stair wells become a playable challenge or a link between offices (holes). Balls can be a standard golf, ping pong, whiffle or even screwed up paper.
Dedication
It's finally here: golf for the office! No more interminably dreary Monday-to-Fridays. No more longingly staring out the window, aching to be somewhere else. Now, hours once wasted planning, managing, manufacturing, selling, marketing, lawyering, and accounting can be put to productive use in improving putting, driving, and chipping skills. It can be argued that the playing of office golf in recognised break times can lift worker moral and improve team spirit, (its worth a try anyway).
Potential
The only potential in playing office golf successfully is in reputation or perhaps in not buying a round of drinks, (traditionally the loser buys). If office golf is played to excess the potential could be to lose your job.
