Sam Snead once said, “There’s golf. And there’s tournament golf.” I say, “There’s golf. There’s tournament golf. And there’s golfing with your boss.”

I spent seven years at an agency where success could be directly measured by how often and where the inner circle played golf. At the center was the owner, surrounded by a pack of lapdog account execs. As a creative, I was on the outer fringe. This meant a regular invite to the country club—as regular as a solar eclipse.
