at NMIMS Bangalore.
I have always wondered why Golf is not part of a business school -either as a part of the curriculum, or as an extra-curricular activity. There are good reasons why they say Business School students are successful due to networking which happens there. If that is the case, networking skills also take you places later, in the corporate world. And Golf's a great way to go that way.
We were plain lucky to have an 18-hole Golf course 500 metres from home at Kirloskar Institute, harihar. Thanks to the Kirloskars, we played Golf like millionaires do-everyday!
At IMT Nagpur, a few years later, I managed to construct a green by simply asking our normal landscaper to create one and maintain it! All we did was procure a cup to hold the ball, and a flagstaff! And we played till I was there, training quite a few students (girls included) and a few MDP participants! They all enjoyed it, without exception.
At IIM Indore again, I played on our cricket field, with imaginary greens on either side. Natural tee boxes were at the elevated ends. Again, I took a few MDP participants and faculty to play-they all enjoyed it. Some students too, on request, and they are now my friends for life!
Why is it that we are reluctant to do things that might do the student morale a lot of good?
