There are many social aspects and benefits to playing golf. This is perhaps seen best in the business world. In the United States, golf is actually considered the "sport of the business world." This is because many, many rounds of golf are played by business partners and associates. Many business decisions are made on the golf course as well.
A golf course is a great place to get to know someone better, whether a client, co-worker, family member or friend. This is because an average round of golf will take about four hours.
This includes a lot of time walking around the course together, or riding in a golf cart. If you are interested in getting to know someone, especially in the professional arena, golf is a sure bet, as more than twenty-six million Americans play the sport. Because golf is so often a part of a businessperson's regular schedule, most business schools actually offer a "Business Golf" course. If business schools do not offer such a course, they most often have some sort of golf club their students can join. This promotes a better understanding of the significance of golf in the business culture.
The average golf game in the United States costs thirty-six dollars. However, because of the popularity of the game, many local communities have public golf courses now that keep costs significantly less than country clubs, and other private courses.
Golf is a great game to play with the family also. Many people teach their children (or have them take lessons) at an early age. It is great for family communication. Adults in a family seem to enjoy spending the time together.
Spouses find it a relaxing and a fun-filled retreat. A major social aspect of the golf scene is joining a golf club. As in joining any social club, golf clubs offer opportunities to meet new and interesting people, and to make many social connections in the community. Such clubs tend to have plush clubhouses with fine dining rooms, and a bar for meeting for a drink after a round. The dining rooms offer another outlet for club members to socialize. The cost of golf clubs varies depending on the area of the country.
Regardless of with whom you play golf, it provides a great arena for social interaction. Whether for business, or merely pleasure, golf is at the top for social sports.
What Are Social Benefits
Online bingo is a very social game as it is played with many players competing against one another. Although there is only one winner per game, bingo builds a strong sense of community amongst players. The competitive nature of the game somehow adds to the experience rather than detracts from the entertainment.
The primary social aspect of online bingo is centered around online chat. This is where players get to chat to one another and meet fellow players. The majority of sites offer features like schedule buy, which allows players to pre-buy their games, and therefore leaves them plenty of time to chat to one another while the bingo game is in progress. The average chat room is very upbeat and busy, with chat terms being used by the majority of players to express themselves and encourage one another. Chat terms are usually acronyms, such as LOL (Laugh Out Loud), WTG (Way To Go) and GL (Good Luck). These make conversation quick and easy for players, as they do have to write long sentences.
Many online bingo sites encourage the sense of community for players with special player-focused features that make players feel at home and part of a bingo 'family'. Some of these features include special player galleries, in which players can send in pictures and biographies which are displayed on the site. Other community boosting features include newsletters and / or special blogs, which focus around player interests and news that is relevant to players. These newsletters keep players up to date on their online bingo sites current promotions and events, and many sites also include player spotlights and essays written by players.
Aside from meeting new friends, some players have been reunited with old friends through online bingo. Recently two long-lost sisters-in-law were brought together though their online bingo site. The two had lost touch with one another six years before, but were reunited after one of them won a game and the other sent a message to congratulate her fellow player. They progressed to email conversations, and soon after they gave each other their real names, they realized their connection.
The social benefits of online bingo are therefore an integral part of the whole experience. Players have the chance to form what could be lasting relationships with their fellow players, while they are winning and having fun at the same time.
