Caddyshack Geo-Tournament Initial Winners In

MisterScooter and Jellis are the initial winners from the Caddyshack Geo-Tournament this year, cranking through the 19 golf course, 19 cache series over the 3 day Memorial Day weekend. MisterScooter collected $50 gift card narrowly beat Jellis, $25, to the 19th hole - but apparently found his last 10 caches without logging any of them on GeoCaching.com -- until a flurry of logs the day after he finished the route.

Caddyshack tournament takes you around 19 golf courses in the SF East Bay, from Martinez to the north, to Sunol in the south, Orinda to the west, and Clayton to the east. Per Misterscooters own guesses, he drove well over 100 miles finishing the course, even factoring in the last day, where he took one morning driving directly from one cache to the next, to the next. Around 10:30 am, on Memorial Day, we received the call from MisterScooter, with the quote "I'm in the Clubhouse".

Jellis took a slightly different tact - she had to work 2 days over the weekend, but was fitting in caching on the side. She methodically took down 18 caches by Sunday, had them all logged and ready to go by Sunday evening - Misterscooter only had 8 logged at this point. However, she was missing one clue from her 18 hole trip earlier, a missing 1 coordinate for the 19th hole. The 19th hole is marked as a Terrain=4.5, Difficulty=5 monster, difficultly is largely because of the 18 hole jaunt that is required to get there, but the 4.5 Terrain is for some of the steep hill scampering requried to get to the cache. That was not a good place to be guestimating final locations, without the specific coords. Mid-day Monday, she made the assault, but found that MisterScooter had already signed the log.

Anyway, Caddyshack awaits still more winners - each of the first 5 "runner ups" in the Caddy Tournament wins a Bushwood CC T-Shirt. For a detailed update for the current standings, please see The Leaderboard
