As a golf lover, I would like a separate perl golf list simply
to acknowledge its eminence.

Agreed.
I also love playing Bridge. In the 1930s, Bridge might have been
part of a "fun with cards" list, but, as its stature grew, it
would have warranted its own separate list. (BTW, it has just
made it into the Winter Olympics as a sport, after 70 years).
I doubt that any other card game would warrant this.

I therefore expect Perl Golf to make the Winter Olympics of 2070.
I will be long dead, but I hope my grandson can compete strongly
in that event against Eugene van der Pijll the third.
