Geocache Description:

Don’t go to the listed co-ords – well, at least, not to find the cache!!! If you are a golfer you might wanna go there anyway. A relatively easy puzzle and an easy find near one of the below mentioned venues in Hanmer Springs. There is a spot to rest nearby while you sign the log, which is contained in a 200ml green camo Sistema.

Golf – from family fun to serious competition, Hanmer has it all! If you want a round of mini-golf to keep the kids entertained on a family holiday there are a couple of options. If you are looking for serious grown-up golf Hanmer Springs has a very scenic looking golf course with spectacular views all around. There is even a driving range and a curious but fun looking little place that is sort of half way between mini-golf and ‘real’golf!! We toured around looking at all of them before placing this cache, so ….. well….. the cache is somewhere near one of them!!

Just answer a few easy golf related questions, and you’ll have all the numbers you need to ace this cache. If you are a true golf pro, you might be able to answer them without resorting to googling!!!
