Puzzlarian Golf

The small country of Puzzlaria has recently completed construction of its first golf course... called the Problematic Hole. Four residents decide to give the new course a go. Ross, DualAspect, Karl, and Knightmare met at the first tee and began the round.

At the end of the round, their caddies were heard making the following comments:

1. The player with highest score did not lose the fewest or the most balls.
2. The one with the second lowest score, who was not Knightmare, did not lose more than three balls.
3. The player with lowest score did not lose four balls.
4. The one with highest score lost more than two balls.
5. DualAspect did not lose more than three balls or fewer than two balls.
6. The player who lost only one ball was not the one with the lowest score.
7. Neither Knightmare, who was not the one with the highest score, nor Ross, lost more than three balls.

What was the scoring order, from lowest to highest? ... how many balls did each player lose?

Knightmare ...
very clever, I never considered using a goat to eat the rough ... for ball location.

Golf is one of the things I will miss because of my back situation

Hi Knightmare. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with what you said. It was a nice sentiment. I'm sure that everyone here would second it. I do.

Zaux. The Godson has given the same answer as Knightmare, and it fits the data.

Thanks Knightmare ...
I really appreciate the nice sentiment ... I have actually exited the wheelchair. Can now walk again ... although not very steady, but it should get better with time. The battle I have now is beating the cancer ... I have become a vegetarian which is a much better diet for battling cancer... I have a become a 3 times/day juicer (carrot and apple juice is really delicious ... and carrot juice is one of the most healthy foods anyone can ingest) ... and I am doing bio-feedback, where I meditate and instruct my immune system too search and kill cancer cells. So I am fighting. And the kind words are very much appreciated ... thank you.
