It used to start on the first of each month and last exactly one week. But there haven't been any prize golfs for a long time. The burden on the referees was too great, and although there was some talk of a more automated system, it never quite got finished. So the more informal golfs at terje.perlgolf.org took over. Personally I would still like to see the prize golfs come back. I can never quite get motivated for the more frequent ones. But it would require someone to write a more automated system, or submissions only to happen afterwards like in the minigolfs, or something. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."
