Five professional golfers (including Fiona) opted to wind down from a big match with a relaxing game of miniature golf at Richard’s Devilish Mini-Golf. They discovered, however, that mini-golf wasn't as easy as it looks. Each player scored extremely high on a different hole of the course, and eventually everybody was fuming about their loss and gave up. Using the clues below, can you find out each golfer's full name (one surname is Billings) and the hole he or she screwed up entirely?
1. George, Evans, and the one who blew it on the ball-eating Clown-Face all managed to control themselves after completing their worst hole and were able to return their putters intact.
2. Isaac’s bad luck came at the Stoplight, where the ball got caught inside, just out of reach of his club.
3. George and Hannah both scored quadruple bogies on their worst holes.
4. Ms. Derby and the man who screwed up on the Loop-de-Loop snapped their putters on nearby trees after their worst holes.
5. The one surnamed Chang wasn’t the one who hit a water hazard on the Viking Ship or the one who tallied a triple bogie on the Windmill.
6. Jacob Ambrose hit his ball with too much force on his worst hole, and took several strokes to get it out of the knee-deep sand trap and back onto the green.

We know that the five golfers are George, Mr./Ms. Evans, Ms. Derby, and the ones who messed up on the Loop-de-Loop and Clown Face (clues 1 and 4). Isaac stank at the stoplight (clue 2) so he can't be Ms. Derby or one of those who messed up on the Clown Face or Loop-de-Loop and must be Evans.
The men are George, Isaac Evans, and the one who messed up on the Loop-de-Loop hole. The latter of these three must be the last man, Jacob Ambrose. The one who's worst hole was the Windmill scored a triple-bogie (clue 5), but George and Hannah scored quadruple-bogies (clue 3), so Ms. Derby's worst hole was the windmill, and by elimination Ms. Derby must be Fiona. Hannah can only have messed up on the Clown Face. The last hole to be filled in is the Viking Ship, which was George, but not Chang (clue 5) so George is Billings, and Hannah is Chang.
In summary:
George Billings, Viking Ship
Isaac Evans, Stoplight
Hannah Chang, Clown Face
Jacob Ambrose, Loop-de-Loop
Fiona Derby, Windmill. |
