Amir, before tpr05a, you had flogged me four times in a row! Only lack of a top ten finish is stopping you from leaping up the money list. So I would not dare to mock you. On the contrary, I am a great admirer of your rock-solid all-around game. And, most important for me, your post-mortem comments and solutions are always instructive and entertaining. > Speaking of all those hours, I've been wondering: do > most of the other golfers spend a huge number of hours > on each hole?

Unlike the floridly decorated yet macho psychoanalyst Dr Shampoo, I am not professionally qualified in this area. Yet I firmly believe that spending more time than you can afford on golf is classic addictive behaviour, similar to gambling, drug, food or sex addiction. I plead guilty to addictive behaviour and can heartily recommend Dr Shampoo's new and improved intensive therapy treatment (three sessions for just $199.99, money-back guarantee). BTW, my wife has banned me from playing golf. /-\ndrew
