A Survival Guide To Corporate Golf Culture, Roger Gans

Communication Faculty Publications - Archive

Thanks to the popularity of Tiger Woods and other prominent professional golfers with diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, golf has gained a new patina of inclusivity. As a result, corporate golf outings have become more popular than ever before. For non-golfers, this may feel like it means more opportunities to be excluded from an elitist activity. For planners of corporate activities, it can mean a greater challenge to build inclusion into the equation. This article offers a middle-ground perspective on the ins and outs of golf outings.

Inclusion And The Tiger Woods Factor, Roger Gans

Communication Faculty Publications - Archive

When this article was written, Tiger Woods had just won his fourth straight major golf championship and golf was experiencing unprecedented levels of interest and participation among African Americans, Asians, women, and young people. At the same time, playing golf was widely perceived as one of the non-performance-related routes to success in many organizations, a route available most readily to white men of some means and less readily to everyone else. This article identifies the illusion of inclusion stimulated by the emergence of Tiger Woods and steps golfers and non-golfers can take to make golf culture less damagingly exclusive.
