B = If par is equal to 3 and the disc golfer got a double bogey on the hole the number value of the double bogey is equal to B.

CD = A typical disc golf course has 18 holes. If someone was to quit playing one hole short because of rain, how many holes did he play? Value of answer is equal to CD.

Then making his final 8 foot throw into the basket for a par. What was the total length of the hole? Value of answer is equal to EFG.

Reign-Man came in second place and won a Innova Aviar putter in DX plastic with a value of $8 and a cash prize of $300. Scotty V came in Third place and won a pair of Bite Disc Golf shoes valued at $79 and a cash prize of $99. What was the total of the cash all three players won? Value of answer is equal to XYZ.

Just like Geocaching, Disc Golf is another sport of mine that I love very much that no one has ever heard about. Disc Golf is a great game played just like traditional “ball” golf but with discs instead of clubs and a ball. Also instead of a hole in the ground there is a basket made of metal and chains. There are several courses scattered all over the Portland Metro area and you can find out more about the game at www.PDGA.com.

WARNING: When looking for this cache be mindful that you might
be walking through a disc golf course and not to get in the way of
players. I would hate for you to get hit by a disc or disrupt
someone’s game.
