Here are some screenshots of what I have so far. Limited by available vegetation makes it difficult to get the right look.

Australia's Augusta - love that you're doing it and I could recognize the holes straight off. Great job. Be nice if you could find those really tall pencil like trees they have.

The nation's no. 1 public access course.  Can't wait to check it out.

 

As for the trees, at some point the Douglas fir or Scots pine might work better, or even a modded Rainbow gum.

Yes the tall pencil trees were a problem. I planted them tall and skinny but they looked very sad. I will play around with options but I don't know if the pine and fir trees will look very Aussie. But I am open to suggestions.

The pics are holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10, 11 and 8.

I will release an alpha to the designers as soon as I can but I am dealing with personal stuff which is taking a lot of time. Definitely have something before Christmas.

I don't have the hole handicaps, are they in the book? Lets hit a few IRL one day when you are free. Coolum or somewhere around you?

Side question as I'm curious: Does JNPG cater for different hole indexes for 19-36 handicaps than just repeating 1-18, like we have in Aus?

[Armand]

I have no idea on how JNPG hole indexes, but I was going to ask about those higher than 18.  I have never seen that before and was wondering what it is all about.

Do you mean so someone off say 20 knows where to take additional shots?

 

I'd guess like we do here in UK, where players with handicaps over 18 get 2 shots at the hardest holes up to and including handicap. So play off 20 and you would get 2 shots at SI 1 and 2 and 1 shot at each of the other 16 holes.

 

I think if you put 20 handicap in the game, it will know where the additional shots are taken as long as the course has SI applied.

I have a feeling Australia's one of the few places that has the double indexes that you see on the Bonville card.

The theory is that high handicaps definitely need a stroke early on par 3s, but unlikely will need two strokes as there's less opportunity to make a real dog's breakfast of it. You can see on the scorecard above only handicaps around 30 or above get two strokes on the par 3s.

[jt83]

Thinking about the split index, how is the normal index a factor at the moment?  (I only play individual stroke play.)

Up dated first hole thanks to Robert providing some pencil trees.

It's amazing - it just as I've dreamed it. For those who haven't played it, electric carts are mandatory purely because each hole is so secluded from the next and quite a drive - the drive is through a fruit plantation as well.

[Drgnslyr221]

Looks really good. Can't wait to play it. Those pencil trees really add to the look too.

[Unique]

They are a little yellow aren't they. Is there an easy way to add some green to it?

[Quigs]

Trees look great! Looking good.

[erwildcat]

Well done, sir. That last pic looks like a Gary Lisbon photo!
