After spending my career working in higher level languages, I'm always impressed by what people can do with languages like C. It's not just for drivers anymore.

It was never just for drivers. Most of what you use in high-level languages is just syntactical sugar for things that might take three lines in C instead of one line in your usual language.

Three uncorrelated lines, two of which take a buffer, length pair which is also uncorrelated, calling something with undefined behavior if the buffer and length aren't the correct pairing.

But yes.

This is excellent. Can I suggest a couple of improvements? 1. Maybe have a "par" for each hole. 2. Be able to better see the layout of multi-level holes, i.e. the ones with slopes. Other than that this is a really nice lunchtime distraction.

Loved it, and would concur that having a better sense of what the hole looks like from above before the shot (or being able to click to see the hole from above like a map) would be awesome. But, I loved playing it. And, I sucked.
