A wise man once said, “If you want to climb the ladder of life, play golf ⛳” I play golf not because I’m rich, but because it’s a life investment. Golf will discipline you, it gives you a network of the powerful and affluent in society and your network is your net worth. Have a realistic goal, business, etc. join the class, learn, play, stay fit, socialize and watch your whole life change. Remember, most of the biggest deals are made on the golf course. Me ❤️⛳
