I asked this question a year or so ago here, I think. The best solution I found was just to buy a small Moleskine reporter's notebook and draw my own diagrams.

This doesn't satisfy the need for a complete yardage book but whenever I am about to play a course I am not familiar with, I use Google Earth. It has a ruler tool which can tell you how far things are in yards, meters or any other unit. THe pictures aren't perfect, but I use it to find out the ideal tee shot on each hole.

Just a tip if you do try it, try to find a course layout diagram and a scorecard on the internet, because dtermining the order of the holes and the actual distance can be difficult and misleading

My wife bought me a golf log. This works great as there is plenty of room for notes. I use it when I walk (about 95% of the time). Saves having to look for yardage markers.

She bought it from a street vendor in NYC. I'll ask to see if he gave her a business card.

I just tried Google Earth with the yardage toolbar. It is insanely cool. I even found my house with my car in the driveway. The pics are a few years old, but very precise. Good tip Crafty.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question
    • gestate0560
      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
