Golfing Quiz Puzzle


We had a Quiz Master Shop team building day at the local nine-hole golf course, and were having a post-game drink and "debrief". One of the members was sitting with a pint and bemoaning his luck out on the course. We listened politely, knowing that it could be any one of us suffering ill winds on the links.

He had played a nine-hole match against each of his three daughters, and to encourage them he had arranged to pay them for holes that he failed to win. Each of the matches was treated separately. If he failed to win a hole he paid £1; if he didn't win on two consecutive holes he paid £3 (£1 plus £2); three consecutive holes meant £6 (£1 plus £2 plus £3); and so on.

He had done badly and paid out £47, and his daughter were now shopping!

Each of the three matches had started badly for him, as he had lost the second hole, The River, in all three matches. Three outrageous bounces into the water apparently.

However, on Twin Brooks he had been able to drive over all the water, whereas all his daughters had laid up short. Because of this he had won this hole against them all.

This was a small mercy, as he had won only two other holes - different holes in different matches.

What number hole is Twin Brooks?
