Patricia,

   Great article. I find it true also when playing with my father and friends. They can never concentrate when the cart girl comes around. As for me when there is an attractive girl playing in my group (such as yourself),I find that I play better due to my "happy" levels and testosterone are higher. I guess the stress of life is gone when there is beauty infront of me.

:). Hormones are fleeting, and a young man's dilemma. Flattery works better, it's kind of like short selling in the markets. Old age and treachery can overcome youth and skill. It's when you gotta use Viagra that you know yur washed up.
