Geocache Description:

Like most puzzle caches, the cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Here is a pretty easy puzzle for you to master, if you are an avid golfer.  If you fall into the amateur ranks like me, I still think you should be able to master this puzzle with a little research.


Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport, in which competing players (golfers), using many types of clubs, attempt to hit balls into each hole on a golf course while employing the fewest number of strokes.  Sounds simple enough, right?

If you can master putting, you will be in good shape.  Actually, if you can master driving, chipping, and putting, you could become a Pro!  If you cannot master any of these, maybe you could become a caddy!  To become a caddy, you would need to master how to keep score.  Hopefully you have already mastered addition and subtraction in school.  These will help you master the scoring system in golf.  If you can master the scoring in golf, then you can master this puzzle, and maybe even master a first to find!  Good Luck…

As you see by my score card, I have not mastered the game of golf…yet!

Solve for the final coordinates:

West 076 07.(Holes 6 – 18)

Hmmm….it feels like I have forgotten something.





Congratulations to 4bms for FTF...you definitely worked for it!
