Big O is a golf fan and can always tell when spring has arrived by the playing of The Masters tournament.

With visions of Augusta's green fairways, green putting surfaces, and green jackets in our heads we celebrated Easter in snowy white Colorado by hiding this cache on a nice spring day.

The container you seek is a camouflaged pill bottle containing a few small golf-themed accessories. However, it also includes a first to find prize consisting of a token for a bucket of range balls at West Woods Golf Course, something every golfer aspiring to participate in next year's Masters will appreciate! :)

Please be discreet as muggles on foot, bike, skates, and even in strange gas-powered vehicles may be in abundance in the area on nice days!

To reveal the coordinates, Master the history:

A = Number of Masters wins by 2007 winner Zach Johnson
B = Johnson's final score was _ stroke(s) over par
C = Number of Golden Bear's green jackets
D = Number of The King's green jackets
E = Fourth digit of the year of Tiger's first Masters win
FG = Number of major attempts Lefty made before his first
win in a major
H = There are _ holes that make up Amen Corner
I = The Shark gave up a _ shot lead in his final round to
lose to Faldo in 1996
J = Fourth digit of the year that a lefty first won the
Masters
KL = The __th President has a tree on the course named after
him
MN = The highest score ever recorded on the 12th hole during
the tournament
O = Third digit of the year of the Walrus' Masters victory
P = Number of years prior to 2007 that The King had been
honorary starter

Then drive, chip, or putt to:

North(KL+5) (FG+3).(J-1)HO
West(E+E-MN)P(D+1) AB.C(I-1)(J-2)

NOTE: There is NO multiplication involved. Treat a single
letter as a single digit and solve expressions in parentheses first.

This was a fun puzzle to solve! I actually was at Drake the same time Zach Johnson was there, but never met him or anything. That's pretty much my claim to fame from this list!

There were a few golfers out this February morning, but it was a good morning for golf today. When I thought I found the hiding location, I couldn't exactly see it, and just hoped for the best putting my hand in there...fortunately nothing creepy or crawly was lurking there! Happy to find this one after it had been undiscovered for over a year. Thanks for putting this cache together - the final location was fitting as well!

Found at 9:45 a.m., find no. 703.

Thanks, O Boys! This was a fun puzzle and a fun find, thought the final coordinates were off a bit. Now that I am retired, I am finding more time to work on the puzzle caches. They always get a favorite point from me. We are in Arvada for a few weeks before going back to Laredo, Texas to get our house for sale. I retired two weeks ago, and we will be moving permanently to Colorado. I will geocache whatever the temperature from below freezing to over 110 degrees. I just go a little more slowly and carefully when at weather extremes,

TFTC! We had fun solving the coordinates and then making the find. Ground zero had a tin of muggle so it was hard to find the opportunity to make the grab.

Don't know know much about golf. Wikipedia and ecanderson's previous log saved the day. Not tall enough to reach in to grab the final, had to climb up a little bit. Thanks for the fun puzzle and nice walk.

To future finders ... had to call in some help for this one. Warning with regard to item "J", which appears twice in the calculations, read that question CAREFULLY and note the case used! (As you can guess, we didn't!).

Built up a healthy backlog of puzzle solutions after that last cold snowy Saturday. Got up to finish this one off today. Nice hiding place. TFTC
