Hmmm, I don't know. I just know that I can play it. Since I don't play very
often, I'm always pretty bad at the beginning, but after some strokes, I
become better at aiming the swing properly while taking the wind into
account. I'm able to play a whole 18 this way. I don't know what you're
having problem with. It requires some speed and precision, but once you get
the hang of it, it's relatively easy to swing properly...

elephantine adj.: Used of programs or systems that are both conspicuous hogs
(owing perhaps to poor design founded on brute force and ignorance) and
exceedingly hairy in source form. An elephantine program may be functional
and even friendly, but (as in the old joke about being in bed with an
elephant) it's tough to have around all the same (and, like a pachyderm,
difficult to maintain). In extreme cases, hackers have been known to make
trumpeting sounds or perform expressive proboscatory mime at the mention of
the offending program. Usage: semi-humorous. Compare `has the elephant
nature' and the somewhat more pejorative monstrosity. See also second-system
effect and baroque.
