I think you might be pecked by a herd of angry ostriches if
you tried that. However, since you are a referee next month,
I think you could easily add an experimental "100 Meter Dash"
as a sideshow to the main golf tournament as follows:

1) Have the golf test program print the time taken.
2) Change the meaning of PGAS "unorthodox" to mean "this
   is a 100 meter dash entry" -- I never was sure why PGAS
   needed "Unorthodox", since "Artistic" seems sufficient.
   I think "Artistic" and "Unorthodox" entries do not go
   on the PGAS leaderboard. You, as referee then, could
   carefully time all "Unorthodox" entries and post a daily
   "100 Meter Dash" leaderboard to golf mailing list.

I see the golf tournament as the main event, but the
100 meter dash could prove an enjoyable and instructive
diversion. Some fwp-ers who dislike golf might also like
to compete. Opinions welcome.
