Fabulous idea and vid! I’m going to give this a shot on my adobe illustrator. Thanks for the idea...I’m pretty sure this will become my new CV-19 obsession.

@The Techie Golfer: Great video. I'll have another go. I have been trying to do that for a long time - on and off. But I think your video is the best yet in terms of laying out the groundwork! Great work!

To be honest I can't remember but from memory they are just lines grouped together.

Does your vector package also contain a way of formatting the pages so that they print in the correct order? You mention that you didn't want to go too much into how the package worked but I think it'd be great to see and really helpful. Great video nonetheless, best I could find on KZbin for a simple but detailed format to make these booklets.

That template doesn't no. Once you have created each image for each hole you then export them so that you have images which can then be inserted into a separate print template. This was produced using trial and error! Thanks for the comment and feedback and glad you found it useful. I have been improving my yardage books recently and may we do another video in the near future. Watch this space!

@@thetechiegolfer5096 Thanks for the reply, I look forward to the new video! Quick question, what size is the finished booklet? Sources for yardage books online vary, some as small as 3.5 x 5.5 inches and some as big as allowed at 4 x 7 inches. I tried the latter but struggled to fit it onto A4 paper.

I was just wondering if there is a way that you measure for elevation changes?

@meatysmc 2 жыл бұрын

What are the measurements for the print outs? I’m trying to use google docs and then print them out like that but the table is not long enough to bind the staples in the middle like you did.

Just wondering how you formatted the artboards to print on the proper sides/orientations?

@thetechiegolfer5096 4 жыл бұрын

A lot of trial and error! I started off using paper to make a little booklet, stapling it together and then wrote in each page what would be printed on each. Then I remove the staples and worked out which bits needed to be printed front and back. I then made print templates in Affinity Designer based on the paper experiments, printed and tweaked until I was close enough.

How is the app you use for designing the hole after you screenshot the hole at google earth?

@thetechiegolfer5096 4 жыл бұрын

I use an app called Affinity designer from Serif - affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/. I think any vector based design package would probably work though.

I have just used lines in my latest version of the yardage books. But you could create an asset depending on whatever software you use.

What did you use for to symbolize the trees? I have affinity and cant seem to find that. Awesome video, you've inspired me to start creating my own yardage books.

@thetechiegolfer5096 4 жыл бұрын

These are just lines using the pen tool and then grouped together. Also you could use circles depending on the shape you want your trees. I have created a few on a separate art board and then just copy and paste them in and re-size. I have recently been improving the yardage books and will do another video in the near future about the changes that I have made to improve them. Thanks for the feedback, I am really glad the video has helped.
