The REAL Adventure GeoGolf Game

I wanted to let everyone know that the work on the course is still going forward – of course I’ve been out regular geocaching…been to a local geocaching event here in Dubai last week-end.

Also, I’m coordinating a Feb 29th, 2012 special leap year Geocaching Event here in Dubai and building or should I say designing a Earthcache located here in the United Arab Emirates among other things.

I now have most of the Geogolf course cache really to go – it’s just a matter of getting out to the cache site with all the printed materials, paint (camo) containers, etc. and placing the cache hides. Finalizing the coordinates, then getting the final review done, that should be it. Hope fully the end of the month or early in March, 2012.

All the best!

P.S. If you’re in the UAE and want to join the Feb 29th, 2012 Geocaching Leap year Event you can find it here: GC3B4X1" target="_blank" >GC3B4X1

How many containers, files, printed materials, money and time does it take to build a GeoGolf multi-cache?

Here’s a build list so far!      

• (42)  Containers – plus 8 spares as backups for maintenance, too.  Total of 5 different sizes!
• (2)    Downloadable files – pdf files of the official GeoGolf score-card and a set of GeoGolf play rules.
• (55)  Different types of hole code cards, instruction sheets and key code cards – plus a Geocaching logbook of course.
• (21)  Labels of different varieties for each of the cache hides.
• (1)    Painted Sign for the 19th Hole “Club House” the final cache hide.

• Add the Shwag and some travelers, too! Read more…

Now it’s time to build all the separate traditional caches that go into the multi GeoGolf Game course cache.

Exploration is now complete on the “Dubai Desert Dunes” GeoGolf game course. We’ve had a dry-run over the whole course, laid out all the GZ plans for every hole including the 19th Hole – (Club House), the “Caddy’s Hide-Away” – (emergency? help?) and the “Caddy Shack”  – (course entrance).

So what is next? “Shopping of course” said the horse. So that is exactly what we did today – headed out to the malls and the hidden corners of Dubai ie; Dragon Mart a great place to find budget Chinese goods, more on that later. So what is on the to do list? Read more…

Our best wishes for a great Christmas and New Year full of blesses and satisfactions. Merry Christmas and a prosper New Year! From “Adventure GeoGolf” admin.

There are several GPS games that are related to or include geocaching. One such game is called geo golf. Geo golf is a fun way to familiarize yourself with a city or neighborhood and does not involve a ball, tee, or club. Nine or eighteen waypoints act as the “holes” on the golf course. Players try to get as close to each waypoint as they can and log their distance. If a player makes it within one yard of the waypoint, that would be logged as a hole in one. Two yards would be considered two strokes and so on. Play against others or play the game on your own by challenging yourself to reach a certain score. Check out Geo Golf Rules at GPS Games for more information about playing geo golf.
