LEESBURG, Va. – Golfoholicsâ?¢, Inc. a new company dedicated to the shared passion of golfers all over the world, is soliciting addicts. While people suffering from other addictions cower in shame, Golfoholics revel in their passion for the game and want to share their addictions with fellow addicts. Golfoholics.com will provide a forum for that passion, a confessional for one’s addiction, a virtual playground for the terminally addicted ball chaser.
"Golf is an extremely addictive game," said Fuzzy Zoeller, 10-time PGA Tour winner, Masters Champion and two-time Champions Tour winner. "What else could make a reasonably sane person get up early in the morning and trudge through rain and mud for four hours and then say at the end, ‘boy that was fun.’ If that’s not an addiction, I don’t know what is. Now there’s a group of admitted Golfoholics who aren’t trying to cure it, but feed it. That’s perfect!"
The obsessive nature of the game has been known to turn high profile addicts of one nature into addicts of another. The game’s attraction can even save your life, as the case with Giants’ great Lawrence Taylor, who told how he traded one serious addiction for golf in the July 3-10 issue of Sports Illustrated.
So no matter if you’re a serious addict like LT or if just hooked a little, Golfoholics has something to satisfy your needs. You don’t even have to leave your home – just visit their Web site www.golfoholics.com. Check out their hats, T-shirts, golf shirts, ball markers, umbrellas, and more. If it’s a quick story you long for but can’t get to the 19th Hole, Golfoholics has a little black book of fictional golf stories Golfoholics, The Front Nine to satisfy your needs.
"This game grabs you by the Titleists and doesn’t let go until you’ve pledged your allegiance to every flag on every green on God’s green earth," said Golfoholics founder Bill Replogle. "Golfoholics is devoted to golf addicts everywhere."
In addition to the book, the gear and the Web site, there’s talk of extending the brand into other arenas. Replogle offers up this philosophy: "Like golf itself, this business needs to be played one shot at a time. The book is out and now we’re focused on the gear and the Web site. Who knows what we’ll tee up next?"
