Yes, doing battle with `/anick is perhaps the pinnacle of any golfer's career. Michael, thanks for sharing that story; it was great compensation for not having the pleasure of battling with `/anick hand-to-hand this time around. BTW, I've jotted down a few scrappy and informal "fundamental insights" into this golf game at: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=592689 Please let me know of other "fundamental insights" I've missed or any "blunderific overlooks" that I've made. I'm not sure I like the term "fundamental insight" and I'm open to persuasion as to a better term. [Erm, I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I was provoked into writing these notes in response to what I perceived (perhaps incorrectly) to be an attack on perl golfers ... which I won't stand for ;-)].
