So I did the swim team the year after. Golf, my husband bought me lesson with a pro. I had fun with the lessons, but the game just doesn't suit my taste. Guess it'll have to be tennis again! And if I get to know sports... could give a gal an upper edge. :D .-= Money Funk´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.moneyfunk.net/family-relationships/menu-plan-monday-18/" rel="nofollow">Menu Plan Monday: Weight Loss Happy</a> =-.

As the 30,000+ patrons at Harding Park showed me today, there’s a darn lot of different types of folks interested in golf!  All along the signature par 4, 468 yard, 15th hole you saw corporate tents with names such as: Charles Schwab, PG&E, and Mastercard filled with rich looking patrons sipping their Chardonnay’s.  Ah, to gain access to one of these tents.  Except for Citigroup, it’s good to know there weren’t any government bailed out entities partying it up on our dime, so score one for the common folk!

Tennis is pretty cheap b/c there are public courts everywhere. I think the point is that playing tennis and golf, and knowing a lot about other sports provides more opportunites to develop relationships with colleagues and senior people. With better relationships, come better ways chances at making money because your colleagues and clients will know you, and perhaps like you more. @thriftygal I think that’s a good point, at least for golf since it’s such an expensive sport.
