    While it's an interesting idea, I'm not sure I'd want to use a golf competition as a way to recruit new hires... ;-)

    Besides the obvious, this type of competition will exclude many perfectly capable potentials. Ah well - to Fonality, I say, "Kudos!" for picking Perl, and shrug my shoulders over your recruitment methods ;-)
