About POLITICAL GOLF

Business leaders, entrepreneurs and executives spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars each year on the game of golf, yet they spend little or no time seriously trying to improve their “game” in the challenging world of politics and policy making. Yet it’s this sometimes volatile, always challenging arena that can, and often does, ultimately determine their business or industry’s success or failure.

POLITICAL GOLF is written by Hollis "Chip" Felkel and co-authored by Jason Zacher, political and public policy strategists who use the game of golf - which many love - to help business people improve their abilities in the game of politics, where many just don’t play and certainly don’t succeed. To learn more about Chip and Jason, click here.

POLITICAL GOLF is the how-to book for business leaders who recognize that somehow they must get involved and they must play to win. It is a timely, educational and humorous tutorial for those who know they must do better if they are to advance and protect their bottom line.

    "This monologue offers a rewarding, important, humorous account of these two features of American society. We owe them a debt of gratitude for making politics fun…or making golf significant."

    "Differing from most Americans, Chip Felkel and Jason Zacher know more about politics than they do about golf. They do comprehend that both are important to understanding American culture.

    Two things stand out about both golf and politics—you can’t understand either unless you get involved...I highly recommend this ingenious, creative monologue to all Americans who want to be and can be good citizens, but who can only dream about being good golfers."

    "Golf is a game, politics and public policy deals with people's lives, and for those in business, it deals with your bottom line. This book outlines the hooks and slices of today's political arena. For business leaders, it is both entertaining and engaging."

    "As a golfer and an elected official, I think the authors have provided a useful, yet humorous outline helping any business person understand just why and how they need to be involved ... For business leaders not to engage their elected officials ignores a key element in the overall success of your business."
