- The current version of our Premium Bundle is made with the Desktop version of Affinity Designer in mind. The iPad version of Affinity Designer is identical (Desktop & iPad version are cross-compatible), however we recommend that iPad users know how to use the gestures and functions of iPad before purchasing our premium bundle, if that is your sole source of editing courses.
- When you purchase our Premium Bundle, you will get an instant download (sent through email) that is organized and has all of our pre-made templates, which have the settings perfectly set for you to begin creating a yardage book for your course.

2.) How long does it typically take to create a yaradge book?
This all depends on how much detail you want to include in your Yardage or Greens Book. In our BETA user group, it ranged from 4 - 8 hours after reading our materials from start to finish. After you are comfortable with the processes, this time goes down signifacantly.
3.) Do I have to be a good artist or have graphic design skills to make a yardage book?
NO, with our pre-made templates and detailed how to's we show you the exact steps to create your own yardage book. If you can typically stay within the boundaries of a coloring book, you can trace and outline a Yardage Book!
4.) Can I use Adobe Illustrator?
We don't recommend it. There have been several people who have been able to take the concepts and pre-made templates of our program and utilize Adobe Ilustrator instead of Affinity Designer. Having said that, there has been a few file formatting issues that pop up. All of our training materials have the desktop version of Affinity Designer in mind.
