Agree. Maybe the focus should be activities that are not video games, not just a certain set of activities. There are plenty of life-long activities they can start as teens. [/quote]

This. [u][b]Activities that could "come in handy," like what, closing the big deal on the golf course? Gross.[/b][/u]

I'd say they need some physical activity and that should have been instilled a long time ago, but that's not what you asked.[/quote]

I work for a tech company, think of Cisco Systems, Palo Alto network, Oracle, etc..., and we invite our clients to play golf every month at expensive places.  A lot of our clients are government folks and senior leadership in the financial industry.  Why do you think my company is doing this?  Is that "gross" to you?[/quote]

Nothing wrong with golf.  I used to play, but realized it wasn’t for me.  I got decent at it, shot under 100 regularly.  Note I said decent, not good- it’s a hard game.  Though I enjoyed it to some degree, I also did tire of it.  Too many people on the course, way too many jack arses, and too many hot shots- not my scene.

Also, I don’t get the whole “closing the deal” thing while playing golf??? When I golfed, it was to get away from work.  Talking about work seems like a good way to ruin a round.  I have other activities now, if somebody talked to me about work while doing these, I wouldn’t invite them back.[/quote]
