![]() Yardage Books have forever been a golfer's fantasy. Only because yardage books make the game a whole lot by golfinred. Inkscape is the program that mainly allows you to get crafty! Using Inkscape you can outline the. Build a Pro Yardage Book. 'If you haven't judged the different elevations or the firmness/softness of the greens on your home course in a yardage book, then you're making a big mistake. This is critical information if you want to score your best, and all it takes is an afternoon, a pad and a pencil. Nail all the variables with your favorite foursome. The more data you can gather, the better.' I recently purchased a 5 pack of small notebooks (kind of coincidental lol) for writing down the stuff that my instructor and I had been working on, and stuff about rounds that I've played. So this got me thinking about possibly using the extra one/s to maybe do what he's suggesting, only I have no idea how to do it, nor do I have a Laser Rangefinder/Standalone GPS unit (I have GolfShot for my iPhone.but it's a bit sktizo on signal lol) Does anyone have any idea on how to actually do this? Nasoor jawani better mp3. You could pace off yardages, but this would be 100x easier if you had a laser. I assume you play the course you want to make a yardage book for often. So maybe you could go out there kinda late one day and just think about the prime spots to be in order to set yourself up to have a nice approach into the green to make birdie. You should figure out how far that area is from the tee and then from that spot to the front, middle, and back of the green. At the same time you should take note on if the green has multi tiers or not and where to be so you can make sure you are below the hole no matter which part of the green the hole is cut and get the yardage to that spot on the green. You should also take note on how far it would be to clear certain obstructions or hazards. Mark it all down as you go. This is a rough explanation but im sure you get the idea. ![]() You could pace off yardages, but this would be 100x easier if you had a laser.

That's pretty much what I've been thinking. My phone gives me a few hazards and their distance/carry distance and whatnot, I just feel it would be easier if I had a laser lol. Who knows, I might get a Leupold GX-I through work since I've got 50% off with them.its just that 200 is still pretty steep. Jeon jungkook and kim taeyeon. (says the guy who wants a $250 nike method):P I've been thinking about pacing stuff off, but that also makes you have to remember how long your stride is and make sure you take relatively the same length stride each time lol. It was insane watching Fanny (Stensons caddie) walking around on the 18th hole at whistling straits for nearly 45 minutes just writing stuff down, walk to another spot, write something down, laser a spot.etc etc. What I did is just focus on the problem holes first and work your way back for example, I have a monthly at my local golf course. So I play like once a day. I would take 2 holes per 9 and focus on the yardages, hazards, ob, green speeds, elevation, ect. And those 2 holes would usually be the 1st / 2nd hardest holes on each 9. (hardest holes for ME to play, not lowest handicap holes) But now I've played that course so many times I don't really need to bust the book out. I can remember where to hit the ball to, my usual yardage, and where to hit the balls into the green. Another vote for Google Earth and the ruler tool! You can also capture screenshots on Google Earth and email tem to yourself. It's possible your yardage book could be composed of color photographs from each hole. It has not been mentioned yet, but yardage books start with the GREEN and work back towards the various poisons for most second shots. When I was a kid I worked at the 91 PGA Championship (Daly) and after the final round I asked Stven Richardson's caddie for his yardage book, which he gave to me. The detail is incredible. This is thenyardage book used by all players. It wqs put together by a guy who works three or four weeks ahead of the Tour, and they are sold to the players at the event. Not sure how it works now, but he was a legend and the players loved him I'll try to list everything I see. Greens- Green depth and width General locations of large contours, indicated w ///|| showing a slope, tier and the way it sits depth of apron and bailout/landing areas depth and width of bunkers and the yardages needed to carry their edges Approach shots- Distances from anywhere and everywhere to the FRONT EDGE of green Every sprinkler head, 150 style bushes, significant trees, bunkers or other things such as the corner of the dogleg, the edge of the lake, etc. Tour caddies receive pin location sheets before every round, so they know the hole is for example 12 yards from the front edge of the green on Friday, 5 yards on Saturday. That is why the yardages are listed to the front edge of the green.
