Yes. As /-\ndrew says, everything is strategy. I'm not
lingering behind the crowd; I'm studying my opponents. And
I'm not shaving strokes at tectonic plate drifting speed; I'm
leisurely moving myself in position for the killing blow.
And don't mind the smell of burning synapses. It's part
of the ploy.

If I may suggest, /-\: the trick with this course, I
think I found out, is not to be afraid of switching weapon.
Myself, I tossed my club in the bushes and went for a
good ol' lugger. And, lo and behold, I'm now two strokes
behind |3en (hiya |3en!).
Joy,
`/anick

I used to think romantic love was a neurosis shared by two, a supreme
foolishness. I no longer think that. There's nothing foolish in
loving anyone. Thinking you'll be loved in return is what's foolish.
