Golf is not a critical IT skill

It is a widely held belief that the golf course is a great place for networking, relationship building and career advancement, but CIO Magazine's "Golf Networking Survey" has found that not everyone sees it that way. The survey showed a split, with 55 percent of IT professionals saying golf has helped them professionally, and 45 percent reporting that they had no need for the fairways and the greens. In fact, many IT industry professionals said they would turn down the boss's invitation to the country club or a day out on links with a vendor. To some, opportunities to connect on Internet-based social networking sites were more enticing.
