The Great Game is a brilliant approach to business and a real easy way to digest some key business lessons. It might even improve my golf! - Tyler Everitt, Kingfisher Plc I really enjoyed reading your book which highlighted some excellent comparisons between golf and business. I particularly liked the chapter on the four types of players and having fun learning to become better versions of ourselves. There are certainly lots of golden nuggets to help me with my golf and my business in the future. A great read. - Carolyn Williams, Nutmeg Property Sourcing Ltd Kevin has done a brilliant job of taking the game of golf, the training and the outcomes and showing how we can use these approaches to improve our business performance. He shows with just some simple changes to our business strategy, in the same way that one would do to improve the game of golf, we can shift the focus and perform better. Every aspect of the game is linked to the world of business and certainly I took away some great ideas and ways to approach business processes and success. - Steve Woods, The Golf Performance Hypnotist I found this book very interesting and a very different approach of marrying golf with business. As a self-employed business owner of 11 years and a keen golfer, it is the best of both Worlds and I picked up many tips. A very good read. - David Hatmil, Tender Assist Limited It's amazing how incredibly linked business and golf is . A great read for golfers and business people alike!! - Bob Grace, WPA Healthcare Practice PLC As an avid frustrated but addicted golfer the alignment to business is cruelly uncanny. This book is an enthralling read with a blend of so many relevant observations and fresh learnings. Read the section on courses and I defy you to not identify with the journey. This book will endure and find a place in the boardrooms and classrooms of the future, in equal measure! - James Filmer, Tier One Worldwide I have read the Great Game with interest as I am a keen golfer and have had some interesting business experiences in my life. I wish I had read it when I was just starting out in business and in golf. There is no doubt that learning to do things the right way before you start is better than trial and error. Setting goals and measuring against them is essential for improvement but you have to want to improve in the first place. This book is definitely worth a read for anyone in business who wishes to do better. - Thomas Olesen, My Local Loved the book and in many parts could have been writing about me. Would have been great to have this available a few years back, but never too old to step back and take a fresh look at yourself and your business. - David Marshall, My Brand Group Limited Great book showing how golf and business are aligned in so many ways. Chapter 10 is one of my favourites, 'The Mind', which gives a very clear understanding and interesting insight into the mindset for golf and business. An excellent read. - Mark Amey, Golf Professional The Great Game Book is a fantastic book. I am from a family of golfers. My mother and father met at a golf club. My brother became a scratch player, golfing around the world and a member of the Royal and Ancient. So, this book really resonated with me. My father always thought that business and golf were games that worked so well together, and this book is inspired in its analogies between the two. A great read, and everything covered, including the essential 19th hole. A must read for anyone chasing business and balls around the golf course. - Robert Duncan, Cartoonist
