The bird's eye view in Live search is AWESOME!
If you have Google Earth installed on your PC you ought to check out this link: http://www.eyespygolf.com/CMSContentPage.aspx?nodeId=44 and click on "Fly me to Augusta National" near the top of the page.
It will download a .kmz file and will show you all the holes.

Google Earth's usage for golf
Here is how I use Google Earth for my golf rounds. Open Google Earth and zoom it into a golf course. In the top raw, you will see an icon looking like a scale and click it. Then a small window (Ruler) will pop up on the screen. Change the unit from 'Miles' to 'Yards' or 'Meters' and drag the mouse over a hole to measure the distance. Now you have your own yardage book.
Happy golfing.

TW - thanks for that url www.eyespygolf.com, those Google Earth fly tours are great. I also thought the whole site was really cool, they don't just do the pga tour courses - they have every course in America so we don't have to go one by one on Google Earth any more..
