SDCDLA holds Annual Charity Golf Event
The San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyers’ Association (SDCDLA) held over the weekend its annual charity golf event, this time at the Torrey Pines Golf Course. For 20 years now, the SDCDLA has been holding a golf event year after year to benefit a chosen community or group of beneficiaries. This time the proceeds of the charity golfing event will benefit the victims of a recent wild fire that gutted thousands of homes.
SDCDLA Executive Director Robert Christensen says the annual golfing event has been of much help to their members because apart from being able to help those in need, it also provides them the avenue to de-stress. “This annual charity event is a concrete way of helping other people in need. It also helps our members to de-stress from the endless legal matters that they handle. Moreover it also gives them the opportunity to mingle and network with fellow members, and of course practice their golfing skills. And we all know how golfing is important in the industry,” explains Christensen.
Social networking website Linked In for instance published an article that explained why young lawyers should learn to play golf, and continuously engage in it. In their write-up they mentioned the many benefits of the sports –networking wise, and wellness wise.
“You'll learn to understand what all those ‘heavy hitters’ are talking about all summer, so you can join in the conversation. The not-so-secret secret is: golf is all about networking. Whether it is bonding with new clients or quality one-on-one time with upper management, the time on the course, and drinks afterwards at the 19th hole, can be priceless in your career. According to the Barron’s survey, 80% of golfers believe it is an important business development tool.”

Apart from networking, the SDCDLA says the golfing event is also meant to give their members a stress-free day. Golf after all gets players to breath fresh air, see greenery, and move around. British Media BBC News highlighted these wellness benefits in one of the news feature articles that they published. The American Law Institute
