Birdies Business Networking · Sarasota

The business networking group for Sarasota golfers.

One seat per industry. One monthly meeting at the golf simulator. Real referrals from business owners and salespeople who would rather talk on the tee box than trade cards in a crowded room full of competitors.

How it works

Networking that doesn’t feel like networking.

Traditional events put you in a room with a stack of business cards and three people who do exactly what you do. Birdies works differently.

1

Claim your seat

Each chapter holds up to 30 members and only one per industry. When your seat is taken, the referrals in your category come to you.

2

Meet at the sim

One 90-minute meeting a month at an indoor golf simulator, so weather never cancels. Plus an optional Open Bay session with members from every chapter.

3

Refer and play

Pass referrals, grab one-to-ones, and play rounds together. We keep score, and the top member each month wins a gift card.

Inside a meeting

Half business. Half golf.

First half

The round-table

Welcome new members, share referral updates, and say thank you. Every member gets about a minute: what you’re working on, who you want to meet, and who helped you this month.

Second half

Closest to the pin

Step up to famous holes on the simulator, from the island green at TPC Sawgrass to the 7th at Pebble Beach. Closest to the pin wins a $50 gift card, and the networking keeps going.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to be good at golf?

No. You just need to enjoy the game. Your first-meeting icebreaker is your favorite golf story, and members earn points for playing rounds together at any skill level.

How much time does it take?

One 90-minute chapter meeting a month, plus an optional 90-minute Open Bay session with members from all chapters.

What if I miss a meeting?

Send a representative in your place at no cost, just let us know ahead of time. Missing two meetings in a row without a sub may mean losing your seat.

What if my industry is already taken?

Join anyway. We’ll place you in a chapter with an open seat, or give you a full refund and a spot on the priority waitlist.

What does the 12-month guarantee require?

At least one one-to-one with another member each month, a monthly scorecard sent to your chapter leader, and perfect attendance.

Can I start a chapter in my area?

Yes. Chapter leaders host a monthly golf networking event and receive free dues plus a monthly stipend.

Your industry’s seat might still be open.

Claim it before someone in your field does.
