The Egyptians

The Egyptians wanted to please the evil God of torment, Golfus, in a celebration with a sporting theme. The Pharaoh commanded his wisest toolmaker Elical to develop two clubs that could be used in a game to honor Golfus. All of the loyal subjects were joyful with the introduction of the Big Ra, the first of the two clubs. Elical needed an additional club to complete the game and recruited his archrival Eyetoo to create the missing piece. Eyetoo matched the brilliance of Elical with his club and the set was complete.

The Pharaoh "4-Putt Tut" commissioned his wisest scribes to create a simple instructional program that would incorporate these great clubs and benefit his loyal subjects. He also wanted his scribes to develop an instructional program with thinking "outside the pyramid". He wanted the program to be much easier than the "body part-focused instruction" his subjects had grown to know because of wide spread mummification. The scribes devised a program that would transcend all of time. They called it K.I.S.S. (keeping it simply SNAG™). This programming made playing the game so much easier and the loyal subjects were content. Golfus was appeased.

The game flourished for centuries until a devastating earthquake destroyed all of the recorded instruction in the temple of Terree, wisest of the K.I.S.S. scribes. A terrible blight hit the land as the body-part focused (mummification) theories were reintroduced to the people and their games suffered miserably. The game became expensive for the common man, thus only the rich (four slaves or more) could afford the fees and the instruction. Golfus was angry. He cast a spell forbidding any descendant of the Tut dynasty from playing SNAG™ in this insulate manner. Those who refused died a horrible death. This curse of Golfus became known as the K.I.S.S. of Death.

Tales of the curse and K.I.S.S. were spread to the four corners of the globe. Many of the ancient civilizations ignored the curse. They found the challenge and fun of the game to their liking and tried to modify it to their geographical location.
