Black Ops Golfer
Few websites surprise me these days, but this one stopped me in my tracks: www.blackopsgolfer.com. It's obnoxious. The site offers private one-on-one instruction ($350) or an e-book manual ($49) that guarantee to teach golfers how to dominate on the course "by instilling fear, doubt, physical pain and utter emotional distress in your opponents - without them having a clue what you're doing."
This has to be a joke, right? Nobody could really be selling a product like this, right? Wrong. I quadruple-checked the material offered, and it turns out you can really buy it. Black Ops Golfer will actually teach you how to undermine your opponents by getting into their heads and making them insecure.
I'd like to think that nobody would actually buy this material, but I've personally experienced such despicable behavior on the course. As a junior and collegiate golfer, several competitors blatantly went out of their way to psych me out. After hitting their tee shots before I hit mine, they'd say things like, "Thank goodness I didn't go into that bunker on the left. That's a dead zone." Or as I'd approach my ball they'd say, "Isn't this the spot where you totally chunked it yesterday?"
Of course, I'm talking about a select few players; the majority of golfers I've played with are more than dignified. But to think that even a fraction of golfers would go out of their way to learn how to demoralize their competitors is flat-out surprising. And wrong.
Am I truly the only golfer left who believes in the integrity of the game? I hope not.
Now I know what happened when I was psyched out by my opponent the last time I played. Thanks for the heads up. You never know what's going to happen on the golf course.
Lookie... I hate this group. Click on this link and give them your business. Is this an "oopsie" or a sneaky paid post?
