Book Description

September 1, 1999

The Other Game of Golf: Practical Principles & Strategies for Business on the Course, is not a book of "tips" or "how to's," but a "when you" book; a concise, insightful, trustworthy companion for both the novice and experienced players. It will help you understand the subtle elements that characterize the complex protocols surrounding business golf and what to do when you decide to practice and play golf's "other game."

The Other Game of Golf doesn't focus on how to hit a ball, or select equipment. Instead the authors; an experienced investment banker and a championship player with his own successful business, and a writer; define and organize a series of 45 easily recalled one-sentence principles. Understanding these principles will enable you to function confidently in a sophisticated business-golf enviroment-projecting a high level of perceived performance-regardless of your personal level of playing skill.

The Other Game of Golf provides you the previously uncollected rules of the business game-an adroit synthesis of strategic social and tactical psycological skills

About the Author

J. Brian Amster has been an investment banker for 12 years, completing over 60 deals raising over $200 million for middle-market companies. He began playing golf 7 years ago after his colleagues invited him to play in an industry tournament. He searched for a book on the subject, and unable to find one, began developing the basis for The Other Game of Golf: Practical Principles & Strategies for Business on the Course. He now plays in 6-8 tournaments a year and regularly plays with professionals in the LA area.

Craig Lockwood is an award winning author and journalist based in Laguna Beach, California. His books, articles, photographs, and short fiction have appeared in magazines and newspaper both here and abroad. He has written for the stage and television. Mr. Lockwood's upbringing stressed gracious good manners--on and off the course -as a foundation for success in life and business.

Larry Salk owns and operates Ventana Systems, a distributor of electronic components, specializing in excess, obsolete and end-of-life material. He has been playing golf for over 26 years, 20 of that in competition. He has played in tournaments that included The Trans-Miss and California State Amateurs and has tied for the course record of 63 at The Chardonnay Golf Club in Napa, California.
