We originally made these videos for Golf Digest's 2010 Armchair Architect contest. In Part 2, Mike completes his dream golf hole with bunkers, trees, and a golf cart. Then he exports his model into Google Earth to view it in context. Please note that these videos were made with SketchUp 7 because Version 8 was not yet available. The only significant difference is that importing site data is now simpler because SketchUp 8 can import satellite imagery and 3D terrain data without opening Google Earth. To do this, simply use the new "Add Location" tool and grab the location from the Google Maps window that appears. The directions for viewing your completed model in Google Earth are still current.
