	let V be "[the player's command]";
 	if V matches the regular expression "feather touch":
		say "You swing the putter at the ball. It makes a satisfying 'donk' sound. The ball zips beneath the dining room table unhindered, and has just enough momentum to make it to the hole.[paragraph break]Your roommates give a respectfully quiet round of applause. [paragraph break]The putt return activates and launches the ball clear back to your feet. Ready for another try?";
		now the command prompt is ">";
		reject the player's command;
	 if V matches the regular expression "top spin":
		say "You swing the putter at the ball. The amount of spin on the ball causes it to bounce harmlessly off of one of the table's legs and lose all momentum.[paragraph break]Cheeseburger emerges from whatever shadowy corner of the house he'd been sleeping in and races over to the unattended ball. He bats it away from the dining room with a swipe of his claw, and chases it back into the shadows.[paragraph break]Kyle sighs, and grabs a new golf ball from his room, dropping it on the floor in front of you.";
		now the command prompt is ">";
		reject the player's command;
	if V matches the regular expression "vertical slice":
		say "You swing the putter at the ball. The speed and angle of your swing launch the ball up onto the kitchen counter.[paragraph break][italic type]CRASH![roman type] The ball collides with a ceramic bowl, blasting it into pieces. Fortunately it belongs to your landlord, and you all hate that guy.[paragraph break]Kyle sighs, and grabs a new golf ball from his room, dropping it on the floor in front of you.";
		now the command prompt is ">";
		reject the player's command;
	if V matches the regular expression "power drive":
		say "You swing the putter at the ball. It launches into the air with enough force to blast trough the flimsy netting on the screen door.[paragraph break]The ball sails over the fence and into the neighbor's open garage. It rolls halfway up a quarterpipe before rolling back down and eventually coming to a rest in their driveway.[paragraph break]You're not hopping your neighbor's fence tonight.[paragraph break]Kyle sighs, and grabs a new golf ball from his room, dropping it on the floor in front of you.";
