Golf Punk - The golfer's lads mag
[permalink]

It's funny that "sport" has always had pornographic/glamour undertones. I remember, in particular, in the UK where a number of glamour publications (magazines and broadsheets) often used the word "sport" in the title. "Sunday Sport" was always my favourite. The kind of publication that someone like Jordan would have cut her tits.

Rosey and The Goose..
Tasteful?

Not that Golf Punk is pornographic in the slightest. But it certainly doesn't mind featuring some absolute ANGELS in every issue - referring to them as "Bunker Babes." They use the words "Golf Porn" to describe pictorials on golf courses around the world. These guys.... these guys are funny guys.

Having enjoyed the mag overseas, I subscribed to South Africa's new Golf Punk magazine the moment it launched (it's R250 for the year - give me a break - that's like a round of 2oceansvibe cocktails at Caprice.). I don't play much golf, although I do have my own set of clubs - Nike clubs (yup, just like Tiger). I bought them mainly to put in the boot of my car - I mean, no discerning man about town would dare open his boot without a set of clubs in the back. God, can you IMAGINE! They're also very handy for sneaking off to the driving range which is pretty much as far as my set go. Look, I've done time at Royal Cape but, you know, I'm just scared, I guess..

I've never bought any of the other golf mags out there, as they just don't tweak me. The thing is that I do enjoy golf and I do enjoy discussing it with "the boys," but I just don't want to talk about crap and I want to learn from people that speak my language (cool speak - that's what we speak). I want to know interesting golf stories (the current issue has a great feature about Tiger Woods's chances of a Grand Slam, which would be the first time in 78 years! Fuck me!). I want to get cool, useful tips, but don't want them to be told to me like I'm a tit (the March issue features tips on how to get yourself out out someone's back garden on an estate course - nice!). I want to get cool golf gear, funky gear - not gear for twats (I was suitably impressed with their fashion section - I want that pinstripe Dunhill jacket inside me). They've even got cool interviews with non-golf-pro celebrities (Rubens Barrichello has a cameo). It really is action packed..

And then, of course, they've got the Bunker Babes:

Witty caption to do with golf, angels and balls

Very badly behaved little angels! Why are you being so naughty in the bunker? Babba will get dirty! Naughty babbaaaa!

God, it's great! SO satisfying! Interesting, fucking funny, and sexual at the same time! Like my arse. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy, you'll be glad you did. It's quality - pure quality!

It will come as no surprise to you that one of The 2oceansvibe Characters is the Editor in Chief of Golf Punk SA magazine - "The Celebrity MC", to be precise! And there is even a music section written by ANOTHER 2oceansvibe Character - "The Personal Jukebox".

As I said, no surprises there.

You know how it goes.

Be a part of it.
