Geocache Description:

Unsurprisingly, the cache is not at the co-ordinates above. Suggested parking co-ordinates are given. If full, please park in the village although it's a much longer walk.

This cache is devoted to my favourite sport - golf, and more specifically the Augusta Masters. The answers to the following questions will give you the co-ordinates to find the cache, which is a short walk from the possible parking area. Unfortunately the route is not wheelchair friendly but just about do-able with a baby buggy if you don't mind a bit of mud and a bit of lifting!

The Augusta Masters was established in 1934 at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. It is considered by many to be one of the most picturesque courses in the world and until fairly recently, inclusion in the event was by invitation only.

A)  Every hole has a name: Which numbered hole is called Magnolia?

B) Up to 2012, How many times has Rory McIlroy won the event?

C) By how many shots did Sir Nick Faldo win the event in 1996?

D) What is the par score for hole number 13 "Azalea"?

E) How many shots under par was Phil Mackelson after 72 holes in 2004?

F) How many times has Jack Nicklaus won the event up to 2012?

The final co-ordinates are N 51 44.ABC  W 002 09.DEF

The container only has room for the log so bring your own pen!

Happy Caching!
