in reply to The Lighter Side of Perl Culture (Part IV): Golf

I've always wondered what it is the essence that makes for a good golfer?

Is it something that can be communicated and understood to Perlers at large? Are there dozens of think tanks being funded by black military budgets racing to discover this? Is Ton Hospel really just a quantum computer running Perl NAN?

Can this essence be generalized to non-specific programming and problem solving? AI inference engines? Easy Bake Oven Non-Secular Holiday Turkey recipes?

Or is there something inherently irrational or unfathomable about the whole golfing process, and therefore the mindset that excells at it? (And by extrapolation, something we'd rather not know for fear of becoming too much like "them"?)
