Summary

This quote suggests that engaging in a round of match play golf can provide more insights and knowledge about someone's true character and personality than years of working with them in a professional setting. In a golf match, players are directly pitted against each other, facing both victory and defeat in a competitive yet personal environment. The intense nature of the game can reveal a person's true nature and reveal their strengths, weaknesses, and how they handle challenges or setbacks, providing a deeper understanding of their character beyond what can be observed in a office or business context.
