At Contact Golf...members use the links to connect

For members of San Diego's Business Networking Group, Contact Golf, perhaps nothing is more important to a player's success than his pitching. Not his short game, mind you, but rather his ability to network his business and connect with other local executives and business owners over the course of 18 holes. Doing business on the golf course? That's certainly nothing new. But events dedicated to the primary purpose of business networking… now that's a unique proposition. And it's the model intelligently executed by Eric Iantorno, president and owner of Contact Golf.

The premise is simple. Four or five hours golfing with another business person provides more insight, closer relationships, and greater sales opportunities than you might get in four or five years over a conference table, or at traditional networking events.

So for Iantorno a local Mortgage Broker and scratch golfer, creating an environment that deliberately facilitates such connections made perfect sense.

In 1996, Contact Golf was founded to take potential business associates (and golf enthusiasts) out of their traditional work environments and give them focused time to networking their businesses together in an wonderfully conducive setting.  Monthly events are planned for  San Diego business owners, executives, and professionals, with random pairings to encourage exposure to the greatest number of members throughout the year. Based on the organization's growth and success stories, Iantorno's concept is definitely working.

Contact Golf now has groups that play tournaments each month at San Diego's best courses. But more importantly, strong relationships and exceptional business acceleration has been the par for members. Guests can come play a tournament with Contact Golf for just $99 (which includes all greens and cart fees, range balls, drinks, snacks and prizes), to experience first-hand where a round of golf can take their business.
