golf epidemiology

tiger woods has just won $12 million dollars hitting the ball with a new swing shape: a fade. naturally many will be tempted to adopt this technique. don't. do not try this at home. a fade is a junior version of the slice. and the slice is the hiv of golf: it's delbilitating and almost always incurable. once you've got it you're stuck with it for life. i know. i'm a survivor. one of the very few. but that's another story.

Timely advice as I'm off to a golf tournament today. (Running it, though--not playing. But will spread the word. Shall I yank the clubs from the hands of those infected?)

to paraphrase "casablanca": go ahead and confiscate their sticks, you'll be doing them a favour.
