First, add the areas of Hole 1 to Hole 9 and then add the Bonus Hole area.
Hole 1: \( 36 \)
Hole 2: \( 36 \)
Hole 3: \( 33 \)
Hole 4: \( 30 \)
Hole 5: \( 36 \)
Hole 6: \( 50 \)
Hole 7: \( 57 \)
Hole 8: \( 47 \)
Hole 9: \( 60 \)
Bonus Hole: \( 78 \)

Sum: \( 36 + 36 + 33 + 30 + 36 + 50 + 57 + 47 + 60 + 78 \)

Step2: Calculate step by step

First, add the first few: \( 36 + 36 = 72 \); \( 72 + 33 = 105 \); \( 105 + 30 = 135 \); \( 135 + 36 = 171 \); \( 171 + 50 = 221 \); \( 221 + 57 = 278 \); \( 278 + 47 = 325 \); \( 325 + 60 = 385 \); \( 385 + 78 = 463 \)
