Mr. Tiger Stripes
Mr. Tiger Stripes recently finished a round of golf with some friends. While studying the scorecard at home, he decided to hide a geocache using his scorecard for that day. Included below is the information needed to find this geocache:
- The cache is hidden at N40 56.ABC W074 04.DEF
- A=the number of bogeys shot during the round
- B=the number of holes in one shot during the round
- C=the first digit of his final score
- D=the number of mulligans he took during the round (shh!)
- E=the number of birdies he shot during the round
- F=the last digit of his final score
The scorecard
How he played during the round:
- Hole #1: Nice long drive onto the fairway. Second shot into the rough. Chip shot onto the green followed by a two putt.
- Hole #2: First shot into the trees. Nice recovery back onto the fairway, then lands it on the green. Two putt to finish the hole.
- Hole #3: As he swings, his friend Jack sneezes, scaring Mr. Tiger Stripes and making him send his first shot into a water hazard. Jack apologizes and tells him to take the shot over (without penalty, of course). This time Mr. Tiger Stripes puts it into the bunker on the far side of the green. He finishes the hole by making a sandy, his first.
- Hole #4: First shot down the fairway, and second on the green. Looks like another two putter, but the second shot misses left by six inches. Taps it in to finish the hole.
- Hole #5: Beautiful long drive down the fairway. Follows with a second long shot and lands it close to the green. Chip shot lands it a couple feet from the pin and finishes with a one putt. What a great effort.
- Hole #6: Two shots on the fairway followed by a decent lie on the green. Two putt to finish the hole.
- Hole #7: After the third shot puts the ball within inches of the hole, takes a gimme.
- Hole #8: Lands it on the green with a three iron. Finishes with a pathetic three putt effort.
- Hole #9: Long drive followed by a shot into the rough to the right of the green. Chips it onto the green and sinks it with two putt. Time for the back nine.
- Hole #10: Slices it into a tree but it bounces back onto the fairway. The second shot down the fairway sets up a third with a nine iron that puts it on the green six feet from the hole. A single putt sinks it.
- Hole #11: Ace!
- Hole #12: The enthusiasm from the 11th quickly fades with a par on the 12th.
- Hole #13: A nice drive down the fairway follows with an overclubbed second shot. A good recovery with a nine iron to the green and a decent two putt to finish the 13th.
- Hole #14: Two shots to the green, followed by a two putt.
- Hole #15: Lands the first shot in a water hazard. Takes a penalty and re-hits, this time nine feet from the pin. A single putt sinks it.
- Hole #16: Makes the green in two, yet doesn't take his time and manages a three putt.
- Hole #17: On the 17th, he makes the green in three. After the last hole, takes his time reading the green. Sinks it from ten yards out. Nice.
- Hole #18: Second shot lands him in a bunker just off the green. Using a sand wedge, he barely manages the green. Two putts to finish the round. All in all, not a bad round.
