I am creating a yardage book for my course. Printed and saved each hole from Google Earth, measured distances from points with my GPS and Range finder, have Photoshop and many other Photo programs and want to create a yardage book. Just to clear up, I have the GPS and Range finder, so you may ask why. For our club championship it was actually taken upon my recommendation to not allow Range Finders or GPS when asked. Just principle I guess, in not having an unfair advantage.
Today I spent about 4-5 hours plotting sprinkler heads and various points on the course from printouts on Google Earth. Although I have knowledge of Photoshop and other programs on touching up Photos, the ellipse and circle software seems kinda hard to navigate for yardage book purposes.
Does anyone with good knowledge of this or perhaps other recommended software know of the easiest way to do this. I simply plan to take the points I plotted from the Google Earth maps I have saved and want to draw preferably measured circles from the center of the green to the points I hit on the map.
Any recommendations? Doing what I am doing in Photoshop is simply a PITA to drag it out to the correct point with needing to do it for about 10-20 points per hole.
Recommendations??? Or maybe a recommendation on a quicker way to do it in Photoshop, or how others would accomplish this???
edit 1 - BTW, I really want to stick with Google earth JPG's because of the detail. I own and am familiar with other such as Golfwits, but this is not what I want. Simple want to do it on JPG's, save and print.
For those who have ever done something similar, how did you do it?? What program did you use??? I have a pretty good technical base on learning something new.
