The Back Nine

Welcome to my mystery / puzzle cache based on the glorious game of golf. You will need to solve this puzzle and enter the pass code into the checker below to get the mystery coordinates for the cache. Once at ground zero there is a field puzzle you will need to solve in order to access the log book and claim your find.

The Puzzle

Below there are 9 photo clues, each one represents a different golfing legend. You will need to figure out these 9 famous pro golfers from the photos and then enter there names into the geo checker in the order of the photos. Make sure you use the correct spelling of the golfers names as the clues do not always use the correct spelling. Make sure you enter the names with no spaces and a dash between each name.

Example: LeeTravino-GaryPlayer-NickFaldo

*The legend in photo number 4 sometimes has a dash in his name you will spell it without the dash.
