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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE PLACE OF ALPHABETS × 1.5

AS

FOR GOLF = 7  +  15  + 12  + 6 = 40

AND 40  × 1.5 = 60

FOR   START = 117

( 19 + 20 + 1 + 18 + 20) × 1.5 = 117

SIMILARLY

FOR NEST

(14 + 5  + 1  + 19  + 20 ) × 1.5 = 58  × 1.5  = 87
