  • Dogleg Yardage Question

    I'm working on a course right now using the awesome tools ChadGolf built and have a question around how people handle doing tee boxes on dogleg holes. I started adding tee boxes to a hole I was working on last night and set the tees at the yardage I got from the scorecard. Then when I started to eyeball it, I realized something was off and I think it's because it is a dogleg hole. From what I have read when calculating yardage on a dogleg hole you measure out to the middle of the fairway where the hole starts to turn and then to the hole. If I'm looking at this right it appears that in TGC 2019 it is just measuring straight from the tee box to the hole which makes my yardage way less than in real life.

    From a play-ability stand point I can just place the tee boxes about where they should be, as the tee boxes were all imported from OSM, and it won't really be a big deal. It's just going to mess up total yardage a little bit. Just wondering if anyone has run into this and found a work around. You can also just say that I'm being a little too picky and it's not a big deal, you will probably be right.

    Are you talking about the yardage on the scorecard or what you see as the yardage to the pin in the game?

      The yardage to pin. Is there a way to check what the scorecard looks like while editing the course?

      No. It’s a tough one. Matching a scorecard is impossible. The only thing you can do is check distance to pin and tee from waypoint and add them.

    Ive never seen someone get as lucky as you. I literally just added scorecard for no reason:

      PS: real score cards and hole descriptions are almost always wrong. If it’s within 20 yards, then it checks out as good. You won’t match down to the yard.

    I'll check out the scorecard feature tonight and relax a little that it doesn't need to be down to the yard.

    Thanks for the tips.
