Word of advise, scale your course after you create the paths for your courses first before scaling - you'll get more accurate distances for each course.

Agree Volume is low, but you can't ask him to rerecord the entire thing, because that is what he would have to do in order to meet your request LOL.

The order you build your courses in is very very different than my method. I guess I'll have to make a video now to show another method to making courses. I was able to get my course making time down to about 1.5 hrs (2-3 hrs for more detailed courses).

I always do the course terrain only first, then way points, then scale and go do terrain for everything else. Before I put anything 3D in, I finish up all the terrain and have the way points done. This way i can ensure its the right distance before I put models in.

I'm going to be working in Longchamp next, before I do a bunch of Irish courses, redo some US courses, Woodbine, and then finally a few UK courses. Going to finish those by SO7 hopefully. Then maybe I can play the game instead of only modding lol. (Now I just need to kick this addiction to Overwatch so I have more free time...)

As I'm so hopeless at this I could always use a second opinion MJ. Thank you so much Simpleminds!!
