I am looking to get blank yardage books. Have any of you guys tried this one at http://www.tpkgolf.com/cyb.htm It seems like to good concept. Do you guys know a good place to buy blank yardage books online or in the GTA? I would really like to get the ones that are used to map out courses on the pga tour. Any info would be great. Thanks!

wow.Originally posted by felsteinb
i gladly fork over the toonie and buy one from the pro-shop before heading to the first tee.
i guess alternatively, i could spend a few days with my laser rangefinder mapping out the course with one of these blank yardage books in hand, but that's mucho work!

Re: Yardage books
A toonie for a yardage book, what course(s) do you play that charge that low? I've paid on several occassions anywhere from $5-$10 for a complete yardage book at courses, you are paying a toonie and I'm getting ripped off!Originally posted by iyell4

Re: Yardage books
I recall playing at Mandarin many moons ago right before they held a CPGA championship there. One guy, pro or caddy was walking the course and obviously doing his yardage book for the upcoming tournament. He basically followed us the entire round. Really took me off my game as it felt like this one stranger was watching my every shot.
Even for $5-10, if you really need that detailed info, it's a deal when you consider how many hours it'd take you to walk the course yourself and do those yardages. Some courses bundle it, I always keep those in case I ever return...but that's a rarity as those courses are usually the nice ones that cost like a buck fitty.What's in the Bag:

Re: Yardage books
i know that Crowbush and Dundarave dished 'em out as part of your green fees.
also got one free from The Rock PLUS a metal divot repair tool ... but that was during their Opening season. I think you got to pay for them now.

Re: Yardage books
Watsons Glen had good yardage booklets for (I think) $3 or so.
A couple of years ago I actually was thinking of starting a small business to make yardage booklets for Ontario courses but didn't have the savings to allow me to get started without a salary to fall back on so I went out and got a real job!
So I would like to expand this thread and ask how much people would be willing to pay for a good yardage booklet and what information or presentation they prefer. Personally, I would be willing to fork out an extra 10% on a course fee, up to maybe $8-10, for a good booklet now that I am at the level where I can somewhat control my yardage and begin to strategise my way arouind the course.
Most yardage booklets are at higher end courses and are full colour with yardage from tees to one mark in the fairway and 2-3 yardages from fairway features to the centre of the green. I would prefer the line drawing similar to the pro style which allows for much more detail, more yardage measurements, as well as much more detail about the greens and their surroundings (bunkers, mounds, green dimensions and breaks etc)
I also wonder whether allowing use of scopes will reduce the need for yardage booklets, as well as the increase in the use of GPS systems at higher-end clubs.
