Hi XXX,
Your readers at XXX would be interested to know that it is now possible for any golfer to map and add details about his or her favorite courses online, with features that include fairways, greens, tees, cart paths, and hole numbers. This is done through OpenStreetMap (OSM), an open mapping community with an easy-to-use editor for adding or updating courses.
You can see how beautiful and accurate the user-interface of the maps are here.
The process is really simple; players and golf courses can easily trace satellite imagery from web-browsers, so that their course can be mapped in just 15 to 20 minutes. You can see a 60 second video of how this works here: http://player.vimeo.com/video/80284165. Moreover, golfers will find these maps available in mobile apps as early as 2014.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Best wishes, Megan
