OK.. a small primer in golf for those struggling to understand it.
A golf course has 18 holes. So a "round of golf" is playing those 18 holes. In tournaments, they play 4 rounds of golf so a total of 72 holes.
Each hole has a par score attached to it. 1/n
The par score is the number of shots that a professional golfer is expected to go from the tee shot (the first shot) to sinking the ball into the cup (or hole) on the green (that flat piece of land with the hole and the flag).
2/n
The par score depends on:
a) DIstance from tee to whole
b) the difficulty of the course
Usual pars are 3,4 or 5.
So a par 4 hole means that you are supposed to take 4 shots to get the ball from the tee, into the cup. 3/n
Was listening to a discussion by Advaita Kala. The usual suspects were there. Suhel Seth, Abhijit IM etc discussing on the cabinet reshuffle. Some of the stuff I heard amazed me.
1/n
Suhel keeps talking in cliches. I have heard enough now to almost mimic him. The Little Lord Flauntleroy example.. a couple of Shakespearean quotes. "Ceaser's wife..." etc.

He was actually wondering why Babul Supriyo was dropped. Boss, he was missing post the elections and tweeted about chances that his car would be attacked if he went out to help.
