Well spotted Richard! Oops, another bug in tsanta.pl (2nd version).
If you manually removed the newline from the end of the file, tsanta.pl
mistakenly allowed this entry. Eugene, maybe you should post your
GolfScore() function two weeks before the next game, to allow all
those mavericks out there to find all possible loopholes before
the game proper starts :).

My one saving grace, however, is that I asked for the entries to be
embedded in a mail message, so when I cut and paste into my editor
the trailing newline will be put on and the tom-foolery exposed.

Santa.
