Homemade Yardage Books

Recommended Posts

Anyone make their own yardage books for tournaments? Any good ideas for a DIY one? I have just been making mine out of cardstock and then using Google maps for hole outlines and yardages. Let me know if you guys have any great ideas!

I've done a number of green mapping projects.

 

My advice would be to start large with graph paper; the grid will help immensely with sizing consistency of various features. Take care to make very clear notes (penmanship). When you're done mapping, use a scanner to shrink your work down to a manageable size. Print, trim, bind and put it play.

 

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing your projects!

I've done my own for any tournament where I'm not familiar with the course. During a practice round I will draw the shape of the green and note any ridges and pace off things. Otherwise I'll jot down landmarks off the tee box for distance. I cut out 9 sheets of thick paper that will fit into my score card holder and staple together. If the course has a cheap book I'll buy it too.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll post some pics of a couple of my previous books in a little bit.

]I made a pretty detailed book for my home club.  I have access to computer drafting software, so I use that to trace satellite photos, then scaled them to size, and pulled scaled distances to various features.  Here's a sample:

That's really cool. Unfortunately, I don't have any software like that... :(

Okay this is cool. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at reading these but I'm sure it's full of details. haha

I know I get blank books from go to caddie. They are really nice. And you get a score card holder with them.

I was looking at those. I just decided that they cost too much, so I've been making my own. I did try to follow that template, though.

Here is a tutorial if you're inclined...

I've messed with it before but didn't have the patience.

 

But I bet if you asked Dave nicely he'd make you one like his for a couple of Grand!  :)

Heck, I'd probably do it for a few beers, and a chance to make a friend and play a different course a few times.  The problem is time, it does take a bit of work.
