Geocache Description:

Fun golfing puzzle for the Truckee OG crew.

This cache is close to my work place- amazing area and amazing course

Hit em long and straight


This is a golfing puzzle, and it's easy. Coords are 39 20.abc and 120 08.def. Fill in the exes and your good to go.


Six buds, Crosby, Trim, Jesse, Brad, Shelby and Bob are playing a round of golf one day (lets just say sixsomes are OK that day). :)


They are playing with handicap as a lot of people do to make the betting intersting. It's a par 70 course.


Crosby shoots 80 but nets a one-over-par to win. Trim shoots 78 and ends up at 2 over. Jesse nets 2 over to and his handicap was 2 less than Trims.


Brad and Shelby each had the same number of strokes gross - 11 over - but Brad ends up 3 over after handicap and Shelby ends up 4 over. Bob has the lowest handicap and grosses 5 over but it's not good enough to show, he ends up 1 stroke behind Trim and Jesse.


What are their handicaps?


A=Crosby, B=Trim, C=Jesse, D=Brad, E=Shelby and F=Bob.
