Are You More Likely to See This Invention in the Bedroom or the Golf Bag?
A rather interesting golf related patent issued last week as USPN 7431199 titled “Golf Flog.” Yes, I know…. a what! A golf flog (yes, golf spelled backwards)!
What would your reaction be if you met up with some strangers on the first tee and one of them pulled this flog out of their bag?
The patent explains:
OK, so you may wonder “how would one use the golf flog that is consistent with good golf etiquette?”
Ahh, the perfect on-course accessory for Woody Austin!
The inventors are Victoria and Stephen, both having the same last name. I just hope that this is a husband and wife team, not some other combination of family members!
Interesting invention!

What would your reaction be if you met up with some strangers on the first tee and one of them pulled this flog out of their bag?
The patent explains:
Golf has traditionally been considered a very challenging sport. Often, players of the sport encounter situations where, despite their best efforts, a ball is shanked, a hole is missed, etc. In such situations, golf players encounter a high level of frustration and stress.
Typically, such frustration and stress are relieved by throwing a golf club or using profanity, etc. Unfortunately, these types of reactions are contrary to good golf etiquette and can lead to damaged golf equipment, damaged golf green, removal from the golf course or club, or, worse yet, injury to the golf players and/or bystanders.
There is thus a need for a solution to these and/or other problems.

OK, so you may wonder “how would one use the golf flog that is consistent with good golf etiquette?”
Regarding use, a golf player may choose to whip, or flog, oneself, when a ball is shanked, a hole is missed, etc. In such situations, the high level of frustration and stress of the golf player may be abated by such use. To this end, the golf flog 100 may thus be used to avoid damaged golf equipment, damaged golf green, removal from the golf course or club, or, worse yet, injury to the golf players and/or bystanders. Of course, it is contemplated that the golf flog 100 may be used without any of the above advantages and, instead, serve as a golf-related novelty for mere amusement purposes.
