I agree completely. Set a goal for yourself and work towards
it. A true beginner's goal might be to complete one of the two
holes, or to understand the longest non-artist solution in the
post-mortem. Someone slightly more advanced might decide they'd
like to be able to complete both holes so that they can see
their name on the leader board. Then they could look at the
other people/scores on the board and set a goal for how many
strokes they'd like to cut off their score (i.e. 20%, 25 strokes,
200 total, Y-score=0, etc). Then they could play around with
their tie-breaker score, or set another goal.
Have fun with it at whatever level you're at. Nobody is going
to laugh at you or point fingers. This isn't the playground.

Now I'm going to see if I can break out of that >200 group
using 'perldoc -f map'.
