Answer 2

Go to the course

Draw the hole

pace certain knowledgeable distances off and record them

Draw the slope of the greens and pace depth and width

Answer 3

To make a yardage book, you would need a couple of things. Firstly some laser binoculars. These will tell you the distance from where you are standing to a specific point. Secondly, I would look at something like GoogleEarth. Downloads pictures for the course that you want, and then go around with your binocs and find the distance for each Tee to a spefic point on the hole, and then to the green. This will take a bit of time and effort but if would be a lot easier with todays technology than in the past ... good luck

Answer 4

Swing consistency aside, one of the best things I ever did for my game was some caddying and to really hone in on course management.

As such, I decided to write a pdf about making a yardage book and now offer it for free.

Please let me know if you find the information in there useful.
