Golf - a "soft test" of character and social etiquette.

More and more businesspeople are turning to golf not simply as a sport. Golf is gradually transcending the boundaries of a recreational sport to become a networking space with its own unique cultural flavor; golf is like a "soft test" of character and social etiquette.

Looking at the development of business golf tournaments in recent years, it's clear that golf courses are no longer simply places for physical exercise, but also places where relationships are forged in a much gentler and more sustainable way.

A real estate businessman once shared that he could spend months negotiating with a partner, but a single round of golf was enough to understand the other person's personality. Golf forces players to reveal many things: patience when the ball lands in a bunker, attitude towards a missed shot, behavior towards the caddy, and fair play when scoring.

In a way, golf is like a "soft test" of character and social etiquette.

In business, many people judge competence by numbers. On the golf course, people look at composure. A person may be very successful in the business world, but if they lose control of their emotions because of a single misplaced putt, that's enough for those playing with them to sense how they handle pressure. That's why many entrepreneurs see golf as an environment to build trust.

That's also why many business golf tournaments are increasingly being invested in professionally.

Golf has become a bridge connecting different professional fields. A businessman can chat with a lawyer about risk management. An investor can meet new partners right on the fairway. A young person stepping onto the golf course for the first time also has the opportunity to learn from experienced business people through their behavior and shared experiences.

Golf is also becoming an environment for businesses to demonstrate their corporate social responsibility. Many tournaments now involve charitable activities, fundraising, or supporting those in need. When a single swing can contribute to building a home or securing a scholarship for underprivileged children, the value of the tournament expands in a more humane way.

In golf, there's a frequently mentioned principle: "play the ball as it lies." This spirit partly reflects honesty and respect for the rules of the game. For business people, this is especially significant.

Perhaps that's why many businesspeople, despite their busy schedules, still make time for golf. They go to the course not necessarily to compete for victory. Amidst the sprawling fairways, what remains after each round of golf is often conversation, handshakes, and a feeling of genuine connection.

On June 13, 2026, the "Vietnam Law - Connecting Entrepreneurs 2026" Golf Tournament will be held at Vinpearl Resort & Golf Nam Hoi An. This is not just the start of a simple sporting event, but a convergence of like-minded hearts and shared visions. In an open space, free from the constraints of meeting room walls, people naturally draw closer together, barriers are broken down, creating a solid foundation for trust and opportunities for large-scale business cooperation and investment in the future.
