Problem

Disc golf is a sport where players throw a flying disc towards a target. A disc golf course is made up of several holes, each with their own tee box and basket. Players start by standing in the tee box and throwing the disc towards the basket.

Chippewa Public School is building a new nine-hole disc golf course on their property. They drew a plan for the course on grid paper, showing the tee box

, basket

, and hole number for each hole. The distance between grid lines is \(20\) m, and the centre of each tee box and basket is placed either on a grid line, or halfway between two grid lines.

The plan is a grid with 10 vertical grid lines and 8 horizontal grid lines. The nine holes have varying lengths and are each placed along a horizontal grid line or a vertical grid line. The locations of the tee box and basket for each hole are given below.

Hole number	Tree box location	Basket location
1	First line	Fifth line
2	Sixth line	Between eighth and ninth lines
3	Between first and second lines	Between seventh and eighth lines
4	Between seventh and eighth lines	Third line
5	Between eighth and ninth lines	Second line
6	First line	Sixth line
7	Between third and fourth lines	Eighth line
8	Eighth line	Between second and third lines
9	Fifth line	Eighth line

The length of a hole is the distance from the centre of the tee box to the centre of the basket. The length of a course is the sum of the lengths of all the holes, not including the distances between the holes.
