We are nuts about golf. This is how we came up with the geocaching name of Golfnutz, Michael being Golf & Lisa being Nutz.
This is a 3 stage puzzle cache with golf being the theme. It is not hard, just meant to be fun. So grip it & rip it, tee it high & let it fly, drive for show & putt for dough.
1st stage - Answering the questions below will take you where you can find somewhat unconventional coords for the 2nd stage.
2nd stage – An unusual cammoed ammo can containing an easy in the field puzzle to get you to the final cache.
Final cache is an ammo can with golf related goodies that is sure to be a hole in one.
The questions below are indicative of some of the useless information rattling around in Golf’s mind. Place the corresponding # of the right answer in the formula to get the coords to the first stage of the cache.
