[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a higher probability of getting better professional "connections" on the golf course than attending an elite institution, if you are a good golfer with a college degree from a state school.  I am sure a lot of "decision makers" in the DMV are members at Congressional, Riverbend, Chevy Chase, Westwood.  If you hang out there long enough, you will get an opportunity.  You only need ONE person to give you an opportunity out of 100.[/quote]

[b]Don't you have to be a member to "hang out" there?[/b]  If you are a member, then does it really matter if you attend a state school?

Are you suggesting that you caddy so that the Judge puts you on his tournament team instead of Spaulding?[/quote]

Not really.  If you're a good golfer, you will get invited to play there as a member's guest.  You work your way up from there.  You can also get a job there and on your time off, you can practice on the driving range, if you are good and accurate with the driver and irons, people will find you.  Do  you know what people do when they play golf?  They talk and drink socially, and that's where you make your impression because you directly have conversations with decision makers.  As I've said before, you only need one person out of 100  to give you an opportunity to set you up for success.  To me, that is a much higher probability than attending an elite college.  [/quote]

If you can’t play golf well, there are other way to slither into the right circles. Like Julia Roberts did in “Pretty Woman.”[/quote]
