Final Answer :
1 : 1.763m
2: 70.31° North of East.
Steps and Understanding :
1) Convention :
As shown in diagram
Upward and rightward direction vector is positive.
Downward direction and leftward vector is negative.
2) Let A be the initial position of golfer.
From here, golfer went on his first put towards B, then C and then D.
3) We have to find AD vector .
4) We will find first all vectors, AB,BC,CD to get AD with appropriate sign.
5) Then, from AD we will get it's magnitude and direction .
