Now don't tell her I said this, Marvin, but a shot like that can be 
like the rare occasion when I hit a career golf shot. You know, the 
kind that feels sweet on the hands, where the ball is struck first, 
divot afterward, so the ball flys on a rising trajectory, reaches it's 
max and drops softly right next to the pin? Well, that shot for me is 
when all my *errors* combine arithmetically and come out to zero! Thus, 
a perfect shot in spite of the fact that its execution was far from 
perfect.

Of course, your wife *is* a pro, therefore the preceding does not 
apply. 8^)
