I picked up some clubs, a golf ball and the course map before I started.
I am not very good at golf and was a little hesitant when I placed the ball on the tee. My legs were shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and feet parallel to each other, but perpendicular to the direction I wanted the ball to go. Firm grip on my club with my right hand, pinky linking with my left hand pointer finger. Shoulders relaxed, I took a few practice swings. Checked the direction of the wind. Ok here goes...whoosh...thwack...damn I sliced it!
Oh my...look at it go. I yell Fore!!!! But it is ricocheting off everything trees, sand bunkers, golf buggies, the clubhouse and even a car driving along the road. Finally the ball bounced off a duck flying over the golf course. I ran to see if the duck was ok, thankfully it was just a bit dazed, but it meant I didn’t see where my golf ball fell.
Can you find my golf ball, please?
..... You will need to bring your own pen ......
* S34° 26.686 E150° 27.685 .A = the hole I tee’d off from
* S34° 26.486 E150° 27.725 .B =Tree next to the fairway of this hole
* S34° 26.434 E150° 27.920 .C =Tree next to the fairway of this hole
* S34° 26.224 E150° 27.851 .D =The bunker closest to this hole
* S34° 26.420 E150° 28.045 .E =Tree next to the fairway of this hole
* S34° 26.322 E150° 27.774 .F =The golf buggy was parked next to this tee
* S34° 26.647 E150° 27.779 .G =How many letters in the object I hit here
* S34° 26.729 E150° 27.602 .H =The number of the hole the ball hit here
To find GZ where my golf ball lies:
S34° (D-E)(H-B+G).(E)(D)(F/E-G)
E150° (G-A)(D).(C)(H-B-A)(D-A)
Checksums: South...27 East...32

AT NO TIME DO YOU NEED TO ENTER THE MITTAGONG GOLF COURSE.
Please do not park along the Hume Highway as it can get VERY busy.
A safer spot to park is at the Mittagong Golf Course car park (Posted coordinates)
