Geocache Description:


'A-Still-No-Ken' has been voted Britain's most extraordinary golf hole, and features in the top 18 holes in Scotland (no mean feat when there are over 10,000 at the 556 Scottish golf courses to choose from).

The most direct route from tee to hole involves a drive over the North Sea.  Anything from a 7 iron to a driver will be required, depending on the wind speed and direction.

I had intended to place the cache in the small cove below the the teeing-off green, but this area falls within two designated SSSIs. Rather than abandon the idea altogether, I decided to turn this into a simple offset multi instead. The posted coordinates will take you to the information board on the back tee. There is no need to leave the Berwickshire Coastal Path to gather the information. The board gives the distances to the hole from each of the tees.

White tee: ABC yards
Yellow tee: DEF yards
Red tee: GHI yards
Blue tee: JK yards

The final cache can be found a short distance away at N55 52.UVW W002 04.XYZ, where:

U = C - F
V = I - A
W = G + H
X = I + (E - B)
Y = F - D
Z = I + (J - K)

Happy hunting, and don't forget to enjoy the views!
