WHERIGOlf Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

gvsu4msu: This Wherigo has run its course (see what I did there?) and it is time to shut it down. The city changed the hole locations and I do not have the time to redo this cartridge with the old software. Maybe I will make a new one for everyone to play?

Thanks to all who came out to play this Wherigo.

 WHERIGOlf
   - Our FORE!-th* Wherigo Geocache -

Enter the park, and you will soon see the Disc Golf course that is used for playing this Wherigo cartridge.

To find the actual location of the container - you must play and complete the "WHERIGOlf" Wherigo Cartridge.

What is a Wherigo Geocache?
Wherigo is a new way of utilizing GPS technology to play games, take tours, and yes geocache. Visit Wherigo.com to learn more about this new software.

Do I need special equipment?
Yes! To find this cache the proper way and to truly experience the hunt the way it was meant to be experienced, you will need two things

1. The Wherigo Player on Wherigo compatible Hardware.
2. The "WHERIGOlf" cartridge.

The Wherigo Player comes pre installed on the Garmin Colorado & Oregon series GPSr units.

The Setting:


The coordinates listed are for the entrance to Hughes Park in Hudsonville, MI. In this park you will find an 18-hole Disc Golf course, multiple baseball fields, tennis courts, a basketball court, a beach volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and playplaces for the micro-cachers. Enjoy your day at the park today! This Wherigo will take you to the 18-hole Disc Gold course. This is a nice little park tucked away in Hudsonville.  Be watchful of muggles if they are out on the course. If you want to blend in, bring your "Wham-O" and play the course while playing this Wherigo. I would be curious which score is better.

 The Experience:

This Wherigo allows you to play a "virtual" game of disc golf. You will see each hole marked with a par value, and in the catridge, you will be given a score at each hole. In the end, you will take your "virtual scorecard" to the scorekeeper. Once you complete the cartridge, you will be given the coordinates to the final location of this geocache. Once successful finding the container, you will be able to log this Wherigo geocache.

Please note that you do not have to physically through a frisbee, er I mean disc, to play this cartrdige, you just need to walk the course. I don't recommend throwing your GPS/Wherigo Player either.
