Golf loses its “Most Civilized Sport” title today after it was revealed that the secret ingredient of high-quality clubs was not NASA grade carbon fiber at all. Instead, freshly shredded orphan souls. The whistle blower, Professor Rory Bellows, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that he could not stand shoving the thousands of bloodied and writhing Cherubs into the meat grinder any longer. It seems that it is necessary to put 12,853.7 orphan souls into each driver sold, and just slightly less for the irons, putters and wedges.

This takes a toll on manufacturer’s bottom line, who in turn is forced to increase the prices of their clubs. But, as their industry spokesman says, “True players will pay for the added performance that only freshly shorn orphan souls can bring.” Needless to say, this shocking development has thrust golf into the third most violent sport rank. Right behind foxy boxing and razorball, where the players put the razorballs in their mouths and punch each other in the face while log rolling over a giant pool full of lemon juice and sharks. The move has also allowed extreme beach checkers to finally obtain the “most civilized” crown that it has been seeking conception.
