Product Description
Praise for On Course for Business "I have been playing golf for a long time. It is one of life's greatest accomplishments as well as one of the great secrets to success. Women, for years, have been left out on purpose and a revolution needs to happen for them to play in the golf game of life. On Course for Business: Women and Golf by Suzanne Woo is part of that revolution."
-Stedman Graham, Author, Educator, and Businessman "In her new book, Suzanne Woo offers solid, accessible information not only for women executives who want to use golf as a tool to grow their businesses but also for new golfers looking for a trustworthy primer. No matter their skill level, women golfers will find this book a helpful resource that gives them a clear grasp of the basics, while at the same time promoting their enjoyment of the game."
-Leslie Day Craige, Editor in Chief, Golf for Women magazine "Suzanne's book has captured so well the many ways golf can enhance one's life and career. It is so compatible with the mission and vision of the EWGA that it is a pleasure to offer it my endorsement."
-Sara L. Hume, Executive Director, Executive Women's Golf Association (EWGA) "This book is an indispensable guide for any woman who plays-or wants to play-golf with clients and colleagues. In a friendly and nonthreatening approach, Woo shares strategies that will motivate you to play for pleasure and possible business opportunities. It is truly advantageous for any professional to learn how to use the game of golf to give you insights on a person's business style."

Revist the guide! June 27, 2008
I loved Suzanne's book, and it was all the more real when I heard her speak at a golf seminar for woman. Her book inspired me to take up the game, and not miss out on business opportunities. I found that even off the course, when I first meet an acquaintance and we are at a loss for words, golf is a great bridge - some people just light up and will tell me about their last game, hole for hole. Just understanding what they're about helps make me seem all that more intelligent.
Thank you Suzanne for introducing to a great game!

Not Just For Women Only March 30, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am new to the financial industry and quickly discovered that golf is a common method of doing business. A colleague of mine heard me discussing this and suggested that I read this book as a prelude to my golfing with clients. I took the advice. Much of the book is directed towards women who are new to the game. However it is applicable to anyone interested in playing golf in a business setting. In fact there is a chapter devoted to men golfing with women decision makers. It includes specific suggestions on how to make a novice woman golfer feel comfortable. Again, though relating to women, most of the suggestions apply to both men and women. I remember when I started golfing, though not in a business setting there was still that uncomfortable feeling one can get in an unfamiliar environment. I would have found this book a confidence builder then as much as I do now as my golfing takes on a business orientation. I highly recommend this book to both men and women who intend to start using golf as a business asset.
THE Business Development Guide for Women May 30, 2002

What an amazing book! Women have been left out, or behind, far too long in busines, in large part because they don't realize or appreciate how important golf is in American business. This book provides practical, understandable information on etiquette, playing rules, and business savvy. It's THE guide for women who want more confidence on the course, and who want to use golf to find, build and strengthen important business relationships. Thank you, Ms. Woo, for this much needed, beautifully written book.

As a businesswomen and relatively new golfer I found Suzanne's book, On Course for Business, to be an excellent primer on the do's and don'ts for using golf in a business environment. Now,
I'll be more encouraged to invite clients and prospects out for some quality on course time as a way to create and build relationships. I'm looking forward for the good summer weather so I can put what the book taught me into practice.
