some pics for reference, you can see all the stuff going on outside the course along the shorelines, 3 large lakes surround Harding Park, included #14 tee photo, and #13 green w/Olympic Club across the lake, #1 tee, and #18

Looks great! Fantastic masking skills with those trees.

Nice job Dorse course is amazing

if theres enought interest, I can do a video on it, still have more to do, we can get some new great trees for the apcd

Yeah, I would be very interested, if there was enough interest from others to justify doing it.
I did a lot of objects years ago, but lose the ability due to not doing it very often and forget procedures. No worries though, totally up to you.

I'd like to see a video too! I love those cypress trees!

its not for the impatient be warned your nemesis is the all-powerful 'blue fringe' and getting rid of it to look natural, which is almost impossible but can be done well if patient. I'll do one here in a month or 2, need to figure out how to do video of myself working online, anyone know? I have a screenshot software - ShareX, works great, maybe that will work

I used a photoshop plugin called mask pro back in the day. It was simple to use and quite handy.

just tweaked and uploaded! enjoy your rounds here, send me some feedback, there might be something I missed.

Steel grass issue - will explain again, deleted steel grass off fwy edges for holes that have it, replaced with a set of 3, not perfect but works OK. Where terrain drops steeply to lakeside, golf course doesnt actually own that (Core of Engineers land), so works perfect for OB. So those areas play as OB if you cross the pine needles area and drop down the edge. mainly come into play on 10, 14-17, and 18.
#18 - wind if usually behind you - about 270y carry to fwy from backs, aim in=between bunkers! great finishing hole.
If you stay in fwys, you can go low, greens are fairly flat - yes they're Stracka-lined to 1" accuracy.
Trees are actually from there.

I included tons of extras! including large hole previews for a 2nd monitor - ENJOY!

need a APCD break, back with Olympic and Riviera next year.
