Obsessed with Golf? Now There’s Help

To fully leverage its sponsorship for the PGA tourney in Orlando, MasterCard launches Priceless, an interactive site that positions itself as a telecenter support group for the one-iron-obsessed. Magical voice response technology even syncs what consumers hear on the phone to what they see on their screens.

Based on a set of quiz questions, golf lovers can log into the site and find out how golf-obsessed they are. A major incentive to answering these questions is that afterward you get the option of registering for text messages from LPGA golfer Laura Diaz or cheats from Spaulding Smalls.

We’re going to take a shot in the dark and suggest if you actually explore the site for more than a couple of minutes you are probably pretty obsessed as things stand. Like golf itself, unless you actively decide to get involved in it the site ain’t terribly interesting.

“I don’t want to talk about it” doesn’t necessarily mean someone won’t communicate, psychologists who study a pattern known as normative male alexithymia have found many men are socialized from childhood to have a genuinely thinner emotional vocabulary to reach for, not a refusal to use the one they have.
