Geocache Description:

This is the first in a new series of caches in and around any kind of venue where a form of golf can be played.

You are looking for a micro container that contains, and only has room for, a log book so you will need to bring something to write with and maybe something to help remove the log book from the container.

This is a series that I have been contemplating getting started for some time but yesterday's success at Merion for Justin Rose, to become the first English player in 43 years to win the US Open Championship, gave me the push that I needed to get started and where more fitting than the course he started his golf career at.

Rose was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and moved to England at the age of five where he started to play golf seriously at Hartley Wintney Golf Club, near his then Hampshire home. Rose broke 70 for the first time at the age of 11, and was a plus one handicap by 14. He played in the Walker Cup in 1997 as a 17-year-old.

In the following year Rose burst to world-wide prominence at 1998 Open Championship. He holed a dramatic shot from the rough from about 50 yards for birdie on the 18th hole, to finish in a tie for fourth. He won the silver medal for the best placed amateur. The following day he turned professional.

Congratulations ReggieCat, Riddlemebis & PoisonParis for FTF!
