  It seems to me that WGT is still at time of kodak films?!?!?!

  With digital cameras it should be very easy and cheap to take this pictures, or not? Only need some time. Bye

  I agree. is it  costly $, to have these images taken, and if so ,would the revenue created from members buying equipment etc...be enoiugh to minimize that cost ?. what kind of $$ does wgt take in annually?

  Some where here in the forums there is an article and video about making a new course and what it takes. I't's really impressive the amount of work involved in making a new course, We are talking about radar ground mapping for elevation (the hills and valleys ect.) GPS locating for everything, and helicopter fly overs for the over head shots. Just wish i could remember where i saw it. Does anybody remember where it is?? 

       If you can find this story you will see it takes a lot more than just taking pictures.
