Golf Elite is proud to team up with Performance Management Associates, Inc. to deliver LINKAGE workshops.

As previously mentioned our team delivers a first-class business workshop.

For organizations:  Custom designed workshops to meet the specific employee needs identified and objectives set forth by management. 

For individuals: “All-Are-Welcome” workshops, offering same skill development in a more generic manner.  Our exercises and role-plays will cut across industries and not be company-specific.

1. For business professionals new to the game:  A series of sequential workshops—skills developed in one workshop will be reviewed, assessed, challenged, and built upon during subsequent workshops—for beginning golfers that want to gain the confidence and ability to utilize golf as a business and relationship development tool.  The workshops are designed to increase golf mechanics and business soft skills to the level that employees will confidently be able to play “business golf.”  These workshops can be custom designed to meet specific organizational and employee needs.
   
2. For Women in Business:  A series of performance workshops designed specifically for women interested in expanding their networking opportunities and strengthening their business relationships.
   
3. For Corporate Recognition and Award Outings:  Custom-designed award and recognition trips and local outings to meet the specific needs of an organization.  From May through October, workshops are held in Minneapolis and Pittsburgh, PA. In Pittsburgh our host facility is the World Famous Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa; www.nemacolin-woodlands.com. Nothing can compete with this beautiful setting. During November through April, PMA award/recognition clinics are held in Naples, Florida.  In addition to the professional and golf development workshops, local sightseeing, cultural, and spa events are offered.

LINKAGE Designed for Women

These LINKAGE workshops are sequential—skills developed in one workshop will be reviewed, assessed, challenged, and built upon during subsequent workshops—and are designed for all levels of golfers—from beginner through experienced golfers.  The workshops can be custom designed to meet specific organizational needs.

The goals of these LINKAGE workshops are to have professional women become confident in their abilities to skillfully execute and successfully implement a business-development golf strategy.
