Hey i need help with this problem

A famous golfer tees off on a straight 380 yard par 4 and slices his drive to the right. The drive goes 260 yards from the tee. Using a 7-iron on his second shot, he hits the ball 180 yards and it lands inches from the hole. How many degrees (to the nearest degree) to the right of the line from the tee to the hole did he slice his drive?

I think we don't know and cannot know without additional information.

Golf shots do not travel in straight lines.
Was there wind?
Any trees to get around?

Very poor question.

Since I don't care what path it followed as long as I know where it ended up, I suggest using the law of cosines to find the angle.

I think the intended set-up is a triangle with a long side of 380 yards and two other sides having lengths 260 and 180. You need to find the angle between the "380" line and the "260" line.
