Great Idea! I hope I am not too late :)
I would like to reward some of the more creative entries.
Apologies if I have missed someone's brilliancy.
1) Aesthetic Prize. Eugene for:
#!/usr/bin/perl -p
$\=$_.$\}{
on hole 3. Breathtaking, Sensational, ...
2) Supremely Unorthodox Prize. Piers for:
#!perl -p
11..&
on hole 1. This is the one that sent me to the floor
in a fit of laughter.
Special unorthodoxy mention to Keith C Ivey for:
#! /usr/bin/perl -lp
}{$_=7e10+$.,s$.$$
on hole 5 and to Piers on the same hole for:
#!/usr/bin/perl -lp
$#='%010g'}{$_=$.
Santa.
