According to the National Golf Foundation, in 2012, there was a total of 29,000,000 golfers in the U.S. Based on the numbers, it appears that golf is a pretty popular sport. When planning your next Orlando team building activity, try something a little different–something that everyone will enjoy, even non-golfers. While it may be difficult to get the whole team out for a golfing team building activity, now, you can bring the green to the office with the help of Fun Planners.
Both golf and corporate success requires commitment, trust, creativity, and imagination. This makes golf, virtual or real golf, a fun and collaborative team building activity. By bringing the golf course into the office, you’re taking the sweat, travel, and ridiculous tee times out of the equation. For your next golf themed Orlando team building event, consider the following virtual golf solutions:
- Arcade Golf: With Golden Tee Golf, PGA Tour Golf, and Golden Tee Golf 2013-14, your team will experience the competitive spirit and fun of golf without the hassles of going to the green. Golden Tee Golf 2013-14 is a 42” monitor that caters to 4 players.
- Virtual Golf: If you’re looking for something a bit more realistic, with a technical swing and all, Virtual Reality Golf is the perfect choice for you. This interactive game allows you to customize the team building event to your specifications. Players use real clubs to drive, putt, or even play a full 18 holes.
- Putting Challenge: For another challenge, give your team the opportunity to prove themselves on the Putting Green: Electronic Pro Putt.
To keep your golf-inspired team building event fair and competitive, break up your team based on golfing skill and experience. Prior to the event, decide what award the winning team will receive. Incentive is a great way to get everyone in a competitive and driven spirit. Remember, know the team sizes before you decide on the prize so you can make sure everyone on the winning team receives a prize. Also, consider giving out humorous awards for the most improved, shortest drive, and worst duffer–these take-aways will allow the non-golfers and poor video-game players a chance to receive a prize.
Think outside the box for your next Orlando team building activity and give your employees something to look forward too. With the help of Fun Planners, your golf inspired team building activity will be a success! What unique and employee-customized team building events have you organized? How often do you host events and what do you do to engage your employees?
