Back to the laser, ha.

Actually if you play that course often, you can take a few minutes as
you play it to "record" the front, middle and back of each green-- and
then "publish" that information up to the SkyGolf web site. They
review it and then make it available to others. It is not as good as
the distances they map, but better than nothing.

I have done that for the 3 nines and also the driving range target
flags of Morgan Run, my home course, which was not in SkyGolf. Pretty
nice since they move the tee area--and we can hit from either end of
the 350 yard long range--no set tee markers on the other end, just a
big grassy area. .
