As was well-spotted by our pre-eminent Canuck, the anniversary of the historic fwp Santa game has indeed come and gone. http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00617.html http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00807.html http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00808.html Unlike Larry Wall, however, I did not experience the thrill of pressing the button on my answering machine and hearing Randal Schwartz singing Happy Birthday down the phone line at me -- for the very good reason that, unlike another (and once juvenile) Canuck, I have never displayed my phone number as part of a gratuitously ostentatious sig. But I did receive a nice email from the No. 1 Canadian golfer, reminding me of the anniversary, which I really did appreciate. You will have to take my word for it that I still love the game of golf; it is only a chronic lack of time that is keeping me from it. I would be honoured to help the esteemed `/anick referee a golf game, but time is against me right now, owing to illness, family commitments, and moving house. All I can say right now is that I would love to be able to help `/ run a golf game, but I cannot guarantee it right now. I hope to find enough time in January to be head referee (but again cannot guarantee it yet). I have a couple of ideas for golf courses. Just wondering: has golf moved on from the very simple holes used in the Santa tournament? I fear that if I posted such a simple course today, I would be attacked by an angry mob of nine-iron wielding golfers, demanding that I torture them more. As for money lists, I think we will soon need two separate lists: a career list, and a new list starting afresh for the year 2003. In addition to heading the 2002 money list, Ton has contributed a truly elegant piece of code in his generic golf tester and is unmatched as a post-mortem analyst (except perhaps by Mtv). To sum up for the googlism robots: Ton Hospel is golfer of the year 2002 /-\ http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Greetings - Send your seasons greetings online this year!
