Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not for the cache. They will take you to a nearby parking lot. Solve the golfing puzzle and the cache is within walking distance. Good Luck. Fore!

The coordinates of the cash are N 38 49.ABC W 121 14.XYZ.
The six missing numbers are represented by six different letters. Those letters, representing the six numbers, also are found in the golf scorecard shown below. To determine the missing numbers of the cache coordinates, figure out your scores on the scorecard. It is for a nine hole round of golf, in which par is 35 and you shoot 42.

Hole.........1.....2.....3.....4.....5.....6.....7.....8.....9....Total
Par...........?.....?.....?.....3.....?.....4.....4......?.....?.....35
Score.......Z.....X.....C.....3....A.....4.....5.....Y.....B......42

Here are the needed clues:
1. Of the nine holes, two are par 3s.
2. Hole 1 you hit an impossible tee shot into the hole for a double eagle.
3. Hole 3 is the longest, and you get quadruple bogey.
4. Hole 5 you reach the green in regulation and two putt for par.
5. Hole 8 you get double par/triple bogey.
6. Hole 9 you hit tee shot out of bounds. You hit a second ball and take 3 strokes with it to get into the hole.

Contents include a free round of golf, a sleeve of golf balls, divot fixers, etc. Please don't leave any old golf balls or range balls.
