And my initial reaction on seeing the problem was that there weren't many
ways to do it. I guess I was wrong!

I've noticed that the scores seem more spread out than usual, although there
is still a weekend for people to work on it.

Nice. But can I suggest that it should be a step function? Draw a line
rightwards from each submission, and drop vertically when the next
submission comes in. Also draw a line rightwards from the most recent
submission to the current time.

Oh, and I don't think golfers with only one submission appear at all at the
moment.
