This snippet of a June 18 Globe and Mail story, ostensibly about a tax case, caught my eye:

When Henry Rachfalowski joined Canada Life Financial Corp. in 1998 as a senior executive, the firm offered to pay for a golf club membership as part of his employment package. But there was just one problem: He hated golf.

Mr. Rachfalowski asked whether the company could give him cash instead or pay for a membership at a curling club. His bosses refused, saying he would look like a maverick or rebel and wouldn't fit in (emphasis mine - BD) if he didn't join a golf club.

Companies say they want "diversity" -- just not in the choice of leisure activities. :)

I'm particularly sympathetic to Rachfalowski because golf leaves me cold. :)
