*************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + 4 = CODE GIVEN

AS

GOLF

G = 7

O = 15

L = 12

F = 6

( 7 + 15 + 12 + 6)  + 4

= 40 + 4

= 44

AND

BALL

B = 2

A = 1

L = 12

L = 12

2 + 1 + 12 + 12 = 27

27 + 4 = 21

SIMILARLY

PLAY

P = 16

L = 12

Y = 25

A = 1

16 + 12 + 25 + 1 = 54

54 + 4 = 58
