Boy these wildfires must be treacherous, the smoke and smell reaching all the way down to Maryland and further I'm certain. Praying rain comes soon and assists the professionals in getting a handle on them.
I've been thinking about all the projects going on with fellow designers and I'm excited for the community and myself as these get released upon completion. I've had a busy month with APCD and Links probably spending upwards of 40 to 50% on the clubhouse, hopefully you all enjoy.
Here's an overhead showing holes completed and seam blended through 13 including the practice area left of 1.

I'm very happy with the clubhouse, I still have lots to do but the textures are done on it the building is the easy part. I like the way I've mixed the building in with the course construction. Weeks ago I was itching to get started on the clubhouse, now I'm looking forward to getting back to the course.

As I was working on 13 green and it's nine bunkers I was wondering how many I blended so far and counted 114 bunkers I believe plus any number of smaller waste areas (less than 20) You'll see in the following picture why I haven't seam blended big waste areas. the bunkers that bisect both rough and waste areas will need special attention I have a few ideas and will chose the best look & playability. The waste area sides haven't been done yet because I'd like to use my sole focus on these when I tackle them.
I'm still floored by the quality of elevation data of these Lidar files. My wife got me the Stracka-Line Yardage and Greens guide for Fathers Day and plan on cross referencing the greens at some point. Without doing it yet I don't expect much of anything to change other than a small increment here or there. That's my opinion considering what I've seen of these files.

I turned off the shading and turned the mesh on in APCD as you may be able to get a better look at 13 green.

I've completed my waste texture set but they will more than likely need refinement as I haven't tested them yet, we'll see how they look in the future when 2D gets planted. I also have been working on some fresher textures as I'm not completely sold on the colors I have. My time in the summer is not as free when the grandkids are in school, I also have a quarterly church project that usually takes a week due this month. Holes 14 and 15 are par 5s, I believe those two plus an off the course building in combination with walls & 3 section of steps for the pool and patio area are all easily doable for the next month.
Enjoy your designing, playing and weather all!
