WHAT GOLF TELLS YOU ABOUT A MAN
John LeFevre · October 28, 2026
Why golf and business go hand in hand...
Golf will tell you everything you need to know about a person:
- If he comes from money
- If he dresses like a bum
- Whether he counts every stroke
- Whether his handicap is real
- If he improves his lie when he thinks no one's looking
- Whether he takes the gimme you didn't give him
- Whether he gives you the 4-footer
- How diligently he rakes the bunker
- Whether he looks for your ball as hard as he looks for his
- If he's a drunk
- If he's ready when it's his turn
- How he responds after a triple bogey
- Who he blames for a bad shot
- How he treats the cart girl
- If he cheats on his wife
- How he tips the caddie
- When he pays his bets
- How often his phone comes out on the course
- Whether he takes his hat off to shake hands on 18
- If he takes himself too seriously
- How he manages risk
- Understanding his strengths and weaknesses
- Does he know how to have fun
