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.

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.
