History has produced a handful of professionals and a sprinkling of amateurs, who have at times, come close to mastering the outdoor game commonly known as Golf. Then there is the rest of the world.Well armed and ready to play, this much larger group is painfully more intimate with the frustration caused by engaging one's sanity and financial resources (both of which are finite) in an outdoor game not-so-commonly known-as Flog.Flog, (Fore Love Of Golf), is the senseless pursuit of perfection in an imperfect world. It is saving through mastering the fine art of gritting one's teeth while smiling and making pleasant conversation. And, on those days, when nothing seems to go right. Flog is a suitable description of how we all play the game (at least sometimes)... hacking, whacking, cursing our way down the fairway... looking for respectability... or at the very least, an unfair advantage!But isn't it comforting to know, that even the pros, the world's elite, with their years of practice and privilege, impressive accumulation of winnings, their arsenal of sticks and tricks of the trade... isn't it nice to know, that even they cannot escape their day in the barrel. (as it were) Indeed, they must suffer the indignity of appearing as mere mortals on international television.Flog is the publication you have been waiting for! It will reveal to you the ancient golf secrets of the masters. You will learn how to spend more money than you ever dreamed possible on golf equipment and instructional videos. You will learn which golf gimmicks work and which ones don't, and why you should buy them all anyway.Flog will also teach you the dark mysteries of male-female rivalry and show you how to exploitthem.Are you a good loser? Flog can make you a better one, losing all the time, every time!And if winning is more your style, Flog will show you how can do that too, by using a secret method that we call cheating.To discover even more golf shenanigans, to frolic in the misfortune of others, to contribute a tale or two of your own, or merely to bathe in the water hazard of mediocrity, please visit Golf's newest domain for golf news and entertainment at: ...
