Golf Course Flyover Project Notes

Here are some project notes I shared with the Golf Committee at a private country club explaining the project. Your flyover project can take many forms, but this project is a good start to get you thinking as to what you would like your tour to be. 

Overview

Since the form of deployment is via the website, the overall goal is to make these videos as short as possible while still being a useful tool for a prospective homeowner, player or guest to familiarize themselves with the course.

Each video is estimated to approximately 45 seconds on average per hole based with yardage being the variable.

Clips have 4 elements in each sequence:

1. Intro at Eye Level of each hole (5 seconds) with title

2. Overview at 50′ with brief hole play description (5 seconds)

3. Flyover sequence (length based on yardage)

4. Outro for each video is overhead of entire hole from tip to green with HOGC Logo (7 seconds)

Sound of wind and morning birds accompanies the sequence as silence can sometimes be as annoying as as bad music.

Individual viewers from HOGC website will typically brouse per their preferences and fast forward, pause, rewind per their interests.

The three holes give you an idea how each hole is slightly different but congruent with the other holes (page top).

Notes: I experimented with different elevations but found an elevation of approximately 50′ provides the best overview of each hole. This is the same elevation that most of the networks use when showing a particular hole at an event.

As of 8.4.22, I have already completed holes #1-18 and am working on assembling the remaining footage to complete the set.
