Great puzzle! First answer came easy, took me longer than it should have to see the second one. Matt pointed out over on Fiend that this puzzle would've worked as a satisfying meta with only one answer, but Evan of course went the extra mile and gave us two. Really fun!

Got em both and thoroughly enjoyed! I don’t see anywhere to confirms answers, but both of mine are clearly related. Fun!

You have to search the WaPo's search bar. I usually search on https://www.washingtonpost.com/search/?query=birnholz and that should usually do it.
I'm a bit scared to read as I haven't figured the second answer yet. I have several standard tricks but they haven't yielded anything, and I don't know if I just want to know or if there's just that one thing I haven't tried. (can't see how)
EDIT: I *knew* shouldn't have read the article. I *did* consider that method but dismissed it because.... I don't know why I dismissed it. I thought it was too easy or something silly like that.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Very fun puzzle by Evan! Took me a bit to find the second one.

Got the first one easily then tried all kinds of gymnastics for the second (though I SAW what I was supposed to, I just didn't use it). This puzzle would have been fun WITHOUT the meta, certainly WITH the meta and OMG with TWO metas. Evan, should we ever meet, remind me I owe you a drink!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
