Geocache Description:


This cache is across the road from the Foxton Golf Course and the number 18 fairway that runs parallel with State-Highway 1.

Golfers teeing off from the number 18 tee, and who have a slice or hook problem, see their ball fly over the fence and down the road. Where do these balls end up because the golfers never search for them?

The cache is next to a very busy road, so care needed when stopping, but room to stop off on the side of the road (travelling South is the best option).

The cache has a lock and requires the following number sequence to open;
(#) A Bogey is how many shots over Par?
(#) A Birdie is how many shots under Par?
(#) The golfer on the 18th Tee that hooks the ball down the road, should in golf etiquette shout a warning to you in your car that sounds like a number (more likely the golfer will say something else!)

This cache is our first, and decided to place it at the start location for where it all began for us as we set out from this site to discover the world of Geocaching and walk in a straight line, across the golf course, through a pine forest and blackberry to get to GC1FA50 by Paul303 back in 2008. We had great fun that day and continue to do so in the world of Geocaching. So now time to start making some caches in return
