Junkyard Golf at Southwest - cont'd

Remember when I wrote about how a training group at Southwest Airlines tried out a game of Junkyard Golf? Well, you have an exceptional memory. That was more than 4 years ago.

Recently, there was a post on the Southwest Airlines Blog - "Nuts about Southwest" in which we learn that they've been using their own particular version of Junkyard Golf ever since! Here's how the post starts:

"We've all heard the age-old expression: 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.' But what about PVC pipes, plastic cups, fuzzy doodads, and other random tchotchkes found in any office setting? They too can be repurposed for a higher calling. In this case, it happens to be for the annual weekend of 'Camp Culture' for the MIT (Managers in Training) Level II training class here in Dallas."

I must say - yes, I apparently really must - if the business training relevance of the Junkyard pudding still needs proof, here, then, it is. For even more, see this in the nevertheless much-respected Handbook of Structured Experiences.
