"...It seems golf is slowly taking root in Iran, according to a recent CNN article, 'Axis of Eagle: How Iran fell for golf':
'
Golf is on the rise in Iran. What is arguably the ultimate Western sport has been gaining popularity in the Islamic Republic over the past few years.
In a country synonymous with religious fundamentalism, growing numbers of Iranians -- both men and women -- are now getting to grips with the fundamentals of their swing.
The ascendancy of golf in Iran has also been serving as a catalyst for the Iranian Tourism Organization to provide larger hotels across Iran with golfing facilities in an effort to encourage further foreign tourism.
Added to this, a billion dollar golf resort is currently in development, the first in the country for more than 30 years and one which will be, on completion, the biggest in the Middle East.'
Now that golf has a foothold in Iran, it's only a matter of time before it swarms over the country like the plague. And with golf comes capitalism. And with capitalism comes more golf. It's an endless cycle that eventually leads to peace, prosperity, and finally, massive appearance fees for Tiger Woods. For proof, take a look at Vietnam these days..."
Golf spelled backwards: flog. I hate golf (as a former caddy) [can't hit a driver, blah, blah, blah].
