Here goes. As a graduate, and a devotee of proper English, I am not prepared to pretend that I am not offended by "one foul swoop"...it's "one fell swoop". Looks like the word you were after rather than "pertains" is "purports", too.

#13: The Pedant -  

Thanks for your corrections, Pedant. You have me on "pertains", but "foul swoop" I'm claiming as poetic license, because what they've done to the course is quite foul...
