Do you know the handicapping system was conceived by a woman? Discovered this when I was hired (by a man) to write a book about golf. About business and golf: fiction, of course. This required endless research on one of the subjects I knew nothing about. Before this, golf courses were just fancy graveyards to me, spas for the deceased.

In the process, I uncovered the secret that makes people so worshipful of the sport. And yes, it involves a certain brain capacity that comes naturally to women. I would tell you all about it, but the book hasn’t been published yet. The sport is wildly sexist; many women still play to the forward tees. Better to not get completely run off-course.
