PLEASURES OF A BOARDROOM DOGLEG "
" No more 9-to-5 angst, as hours once wasted managing, marketing, manufacturing, and
accounting can be spent putting, driving, and chipping. "
" From how to set up a course in the conference room to facing a stairway hazard - over or
down ? - OFFICE GOLF makes a job seem like something you wouldn't mind doing for a living. "
" Sanctioned by the O.O.G.A. (Official Office Golf Association), here is everything the
employed golfer needs to transform hallways into fairways and water coolers into water
hazards.
Includes full instructions, punch-out holes, a historical time line, and strategies for not
getting caught by non-playing managers. "
" Because what you do for a living shouldn't get in the way of what you do to feel
alive. "
" Bound into the book are 9 color punch-out, reusable golf holes;
an Official Office Golf Association membership card;
a custom bag tag;
and three O.O.G.A. scorecard templates. "
