Geocache Description:

.
This is another in our series of golf challenges located at some of our favourite golf courses. The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but not too far, at     s31 56.ABC e115 54.DEF


Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was held in August at the new Olympic Golf Course , built within the Reserva de Marapendi in the Barra da Tijuca zone. The 2016 Summer Olympics was the first time for golf to be played at the Olympics since the 1904 Summer Olympics and it featured two events, the men's and women's individual events each played over 4 rounds of 18 holes.
I think it exposed golf, especially women's golf to a huge audience.

To solve the puzzle, just find the answers to the following questions about the Olympic Golf Events.

A) How many of the holes on the Olympic Golf Course in Rio de Janeiro are Par 3 ?
B)How many golfers from Australia participated? How many female golfers came from New Zealand? Add these two figures together
C) Minjee Lee is a female golfer from Western Australia. How many strokes below Par over the whole competition was her final score?

D)What final position did Lydia Ko, from New Zealand, achieve?
E)How many golfers participated in the competition? (third digit)
F)What final position did Marcus Fraser of Australia, achieve?
Check sum A to F = 25

The cache is a little nano, so bring your own writing instrument.
Happy golfing!
