Wanting
to give Hole 1 a slicker look I decided to add a texture to my fairway. I created
one in Photoshop. It's a simple two-tone green pattern saved as a .gif file.
To
assign the texture I select the fairway object and then go - File - Place as Texture.
I then placed my hole against a black background and added a red frame.
The
last part of my design is adding some basic yardage markers, a title a cart path
and a small bridge. I base these on the info in the yardage guide. As you can
see the resulting timeline structure is quite long.

| There are too many objects in this time line |
The best way to streamline
this structure is to group objects. For example the three water hazards were grouped
(Ctrl -G) into one. Once the three objects have been grouped - press ENTER - and
name it - 'Water Hazards'. I then grouped the other objects. Here is my new timeline.

Now
if you wish you could group all the groups into one large group - Hole 1 Ruffled
Feathers. By clicking the arrow marker to the left of the name you will expand
the group hierarchy.
Here is the final design for Hole 1:
