The four lines correspond to the four courses used in the "major
championships" of golf (a.k.a. "the majors"). Each line contains the date of a
game and an 18-hole scorecard that, when played on the course used on that date,
would be a string of birdies (one under par), pars, and bogies (one over par).
Those are translated into Morse code as follows:
dot (·) = birdie
dash (-) = bogey
letter separator (/) = par
Note that 4/7/03 is in the future, so it should be clear you don't need any
actual scores from the tournaments. Only the courses themselves are important.
