I hope I am not too late :) I would like to reward some of the more creative entries. Apologies if I have missed someone's brilliancy. 1) Aesthetic Prize. Eugene for: #!/usr/bin/perl -p $\=$_.$\}{ on hole 3. Breathtaking, Sensational, ... 2) Supremely Unorthodox Prize. Piers for: #!perl -p 11..& on hole 1. This is the one that sent me to the floor in a fit of laughter. Special unorthodoxy mention to Keith C Ivey for: #! /usr/bin/perl -lp }{$_=7e10+$.,s$.$$ on hole 5 and to Piers on the same hole for: #!/usr/bin/perl -lp $#='%010g'}{$_=$. Santa.
