http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB992206849169968858.htm # # June 11, 2001 # # In Germany, Golfers Endure Tests Before Earning a License to # Drive # # By NEAL E. BOUDETTE Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL # # ST. LEON-ROT, Germany -- To play golf, you need practice, patience # and perseverance. # # To play golf in Germany, you might need a quick trip to Austria, # or a color photocopier. # # That's because the average duffer can't tee up in Germany without # a golf license, and getting one isn't a gimme. # # You have to pass driving, chipping and putting tests, and play # 18 holes with no more than 108 strokes -- a stretch for a # beginner. The whole process, including lessons, can cost around # 2,000 marks ($870). Then there is a quiz on the rules and # etiquette of golf. # # "A written test?" Tiger Woods laughed before playing in the # Deutsche Bank-SAP Open near Heidelberg, Germany, in late May. # The world's No. 1 player has made plenty of tough shots in his # career, but he said he has never had to master multiple-choice # questions about water hazards. "That's why we have officials," # he said. # # A Need for Ripeness # # Golf has taken off in Germany in recent years, drawing many new # players who bristle at the idea of having to qualify for the # license, known as a Platzreife. The term, which combines the # German words for "place" and "ripe," indicates that a player # is ripe enough to get a place on a German course. [snip]

I am an American citizen. In 30 years I have never given a valid social security number to anyone. I can't. I don't have one. I hold a regular high-paying job. I get a paycheck. My employer uses ADP. I have a driver's license. I have a bank account. I have good health insurance. I pay my taxes. Not once have I had a real problem. Any minor problems that have come up over the years, and there have been very few, always go away when ignored dilligently. Just give those facists a fake number. Good luck. Signed, 322-33-0007

>>>>> "Tim" == Tim May <tcmay(a)got.net> writes: Tim> This is probably a design feature, not a bug. Agreed. Privacy policies aren't so much policies to protect privacy as much as they are obscurely-phrased statements of what they're going to do whilst being effectively immune from lawsuits. ("You agreed to it! You didn't opt out!") Tim> My recourse is to take my business elsewhere, of course. Finding anyone in the industry who doesn't work this way is a trick. Maybe we need a Cypherpunk Bank. -- Matt Curtin cmcurtin(a)interhack.net http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/
