The Strategic Golf course sets out to teach business skills through the medium of golf.  As every golfer knows, golf is a perfect metaphor for life and therefore can be used as a perfect metaphor for business life.

The course includes segments on Stress Management, Communication, Risk Analysis, Budgeting & Goal Setting, Business Ethics, Equipment Technology, Resource Acquisition, Nutrition & Lifestyle, Forms of Play, Scoring, Networking and Psychology, as well as sessions of Pilates in the gym and Practical Golf on the Wits Driving Range.

The lecturers include Dr Peter Anthony, a practising psychologist; Dave Bensted-Smith, South Africa’s leading golf kineticist; Dr Ray Martin, a specialist psychologist; and PGA qualified professional golfers Greg Smith and Richard Lyon, partners in the Wits Golf Academy and the founders and originators of Strategic Golf.  The Pilates sessions are taken by Debbie Smith, a former Springbok gymnast and a qualified Pilates instructor with 17 years experience.

The intention is twofold: to introduce current and future executives to the great game of golf, and to provide students with skills that will make them better grounded, happier and more productive.

It is worth noting that 96% of Fortune 500 companies’ CEOs listed golf as their preferred sport, an astounding commonality among 500 extremely powerful and disparate individuals.

The lectures are presented at the Wits Sports Admin buildings on the Sturrock Park campus, a few hundred metres from the driving range. The necessary equipment is provided for all activities, and the course is specifically pitched at non-golfers, although even single-figure handicappers will benefit both from the lectures and from the practical golf sessions.

The course lasts four days and provides 25 hours of intensive instruction. It can be presented during the week on four consecutive days, or on two successive weekends.
