Golf

Activity description

Golf is an elegant and relaxing activity, ideal for companies looking to combine the outdoors, relaxation, and professional relationships.
It allows colleagues to step outside the usual work setting and connect in a lush and stimulating environment.

What does it impact ?

• Optimizing collaboration and work quality : Randomly formed duos or foursomes encourage participants to coordinate and collaborate to win their round, all in a relaxed yet strategic atmosphere.
• Promoting wellbeing : Played outdoors, golf provides a break from screens, encouraging relaxation, walking, and a beneficial reconnection with nature.

What should the organizer prepare ?

• Book a golf course or a corporate package at a suitable club.
• Provide clubs for those who don’t have any (rentals usually available on-site).
• Arrange transport or carpooling to the location.
• Organize snacks or a meal after the game.
• Form teams in advance or let randomness decide the groups.
• Bring symbolic prizes or fun awards for added enjoyment!

How to achieve our goals on the big day ?

• Change teams at every hole to maximize colleague interactions.
• Add quirky challenges: play a hole blindfolded or using a designated club.
• Create a board of best and worst shots, complete with funny commentary.
• Invite a golf facilitator for a mini-clinic or on-site tips.
• Award a prize for the best outfit or the most relaxed player.
• Host a humorous post-game interview session, press-conference style.

When is the right context for this activity ?

• When the team needs a break away from screens and the office.
• To celebrate a success or the end of a quarter.
• When team tensions or silos have formed.
