Dedication

This book is dedicated to both my husband and our son...

To my husband, who bought me a set of golf lessons when our son was just two months old. I thought it was a joke - learning to play golf with a toddler and a baby, whilst still running a business. He surprised me and thanks to his continued encouragement and support we still enjoy both playing golf and now being in business together. I’ve learnt many of my business and entrepreneurial lessons from him and continue to do so.

To our son, whose frustration in his teenage years with my many golf-life analogies has led me to keep my sense of humor in life, golf and business and to continue to find the lessons to be learnt from one and applied to the other. I never imagined we would have the pleasure of you joining the business as well, the ultimate and most welcome surprise.
