No matter how sophisticated business becomes, nothing can replace the golf course as a communication hub. It's where up-and-comers can impress the boss and where CEOs can seal multibillion-dollar deals. It's no coincidence that many of the most admired people in business-Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Sandy Weill-always carved out time in their busy schedules for golf.
Deals on the Green takes us inside the gates of elite courses like Augusta National and Pebble Beach to reveal how important golf really is. It tells entertaining stories about the people who rely on golf to drive their success in business, from John D. Rockefeller a century ago to Donald Trump today. Some of those you'll meet:
o Wayne Huizenga, the founder of Blockbuster, who was so golf obsessed that he created his own personal course in Florida.
o Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric, who won Jack Welch's blessing for the big job after proving himself on the golf course.
o Stan O'Neal, CEO of Merrill Lynch, who became the most powerful black executive in America-and a late bloomer at golf.
A perfect gift for dads, grads, bosses, and avid golfers of all ages, Deals on the Green will make you think about golf, and business, in a whole new way.
