End of this series. Next week will be Design League playthroughs whilst I prepare some of the template tutorials.

Per request - here is part one on Sightlines. I felt this was best split into Sculpting and Framing sections. Second part coming tomorrow. I'm continually impressed by these videos you put out and how you're communicating the ideas. You explain everything on multiple levels for context sake - just awesome stuff and great generosity to share the info and take time out to do so. I have a quick question. So this video - the sightlines part 1 - is based on an uphill hole. You mention at one point that uphill holes are easier to sculpt proper sightlines with. Do you have any tips on downhill holes? For instance, I'm working on a downhill hole (about 15 feet down at the driver landing area) that turns to the right and wraps around a bunker on the inside of the dogleg. How can I sculpt the land to be able to view the fairway's driver landing area past the bunker? |

How can I sculpt the land to be able to view the fairway's driver landing area past the bunker? A screenshot would really help to visualise it, but some general tips on downhill holes: - make the elevation change gradual: often helps to flatten the slope gently using the fuzzy brush (set it large - wider than the whole fairway) moving from high ground to low ground and clicking at intervals. - put your tee at the front of the tee box. Seems simple but the front of the tee often gets in the way on downhill shots. - make the land drop down a bit in front of the bunker and be high behind it. Think about it as if you still keep the bunker's general slope, but you're sinking it down into the land rather than raising the whole bunker up. i.e. the fairway beyond the bunker would be only slightly below the height of the bunker lip. |

I have to learn the screenshots too LOL. But you visualized what I meant properly. So I think what I did was not get the downhill slope consistently gradual and then I must have the land the bunker sits on too high. I think I had the fairway dip without the surrounding rough doing the same - and it's because I didn't have the fuzzy brush wider than the fairway. Thanks Ben - it sounds so easy now I'm wondering why I couldn't think of that. Gotta watch the rest of your videos this week - fantastic stuff - green shapes were another question I had wondered about so gonna go through those videos now. |

Not a full tutorial, but it's absolutely crucial:

Not a full tutorial, but it's absolutely crucial: Without diving into it fully, the 1st thing that stands out is pin 2 is predominantly back pins and mainly left. |

Haven't updated this in a while. Here's all the playthroughs you could want - great for developing a critical eye:

Also updated with a new mini series.
Will add the planting part tomorrow when I release that.

Ben, I have an idea for a possible future tutorial.
Something I want to get batter at but feel a bit lost is starting with a flattened site and making a plot with elevations to find holes in. As we’ve discussed I tends to draw everything out and manipulate the plot to my drawings. But in future courses I want to get better at finding holes and routing in an existing land. And I don’t just mean the Mayday technique I mean going further into making a plot with elevations drops and peaks from scratch to then build a course out of. I haven’t seen a video tutorial on this yet besides the Mayday technique (but that’s more for lower land jumps and bumps).
