Different Camera Angles

  We all know how bad some of the camera angles are on or around the green. Is there a way you can add better views into the already-made courses without having to fly out and take more pictures?

  I believe they could successfully enlarge the picture by 200-300 percent without the aliasing artifacts getting out of hand.  It wouldn't affect the perspective.

  More details on your idea please Bubba.  I don't see how enlarging the picture changes the direction the camera was pointed.

  Sorry, I misunderstood the thrust of the thread.  I thought the problem was the distance of the view (based on that replay link, helicopter angle).  

  It's possible to generate a new view if you have two other reasonably close views, but taking new photos would be easier and probably less expensive.

  I apologize for missing the point.

  Nothing WGT can do short of taking more pics. Although the recommended solution is when you do get a bad angle, just putt it left or right 18 to 24 inches and you'll get a much better angle. ;)

  I need to mention, I was on the green on KIA #5 today and had a perfect angle to the pin!

  Unfortunately it was to the back pin on #6.
