I'd also like to thank Samy. Having refereed similar sized tournaments on my own, I know how exhausting and time consuming it is. Thanks Samy! Here are some names I noticed playing in the fonality tournament and their final placing from the season ending money list of 2002, as noted in mtve's perl golf history tome: ------------------------------------------------- 1 Ton Hospel $4,384,000.00 (10/13) 3 (-ugene van der Pijll $3,540,000.00 (10/13) 6 Juho Snellman $1,264,000.00 (6/13) 13 Jasper McCrea $ 719,600.00 (10/13) 17 /-\ndrew Savige $ 652,400.00 (8/13) 23 `/anick Champoux $ 468,800.00 (9/13) 27 Honza Pazdziora $ 420,200.00 (9/13) 35 Michael Wrenn $ 304,506.67 (8/13) 57 Sec $ 179,466.67 (4/13) ------------------------------------------------- Ah, the good old days. This was my first round of golf for four years and I enjoyed the little battle at the end for positions 6-9 with my old golfing buddies pijll, Sec, and Jasper. That little competition within a competition motivated me to put in some extra last ditch effort. Sorry 'bout that, Jasper. It never occurred, not in my wildest dreams that you'd never heard of mtve's big book of golf! Your name is mentioned in it a total of 97 times. > Now, as an afterthought, am I the only person to have missed the > perlgolf history book, and the only person who submitted a score that > didn't have something like : $;.=5x$_*8%29628 Erm, Yes. You were the only golfer in the top ten who missed it. And, equally fatal, (-ugene and I seemed to be the only ones who missed using symbolic references. I sometimes admonish beginners on Perl Monks, for example: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=586152 where I said "Symbolic references should be avoided as much as possible", but forgot to add the caveat "except during golf tournaments". I look forward to the winner's post mortem analysis. :-) Cheers, /-\ Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
