The Toolbar
So, just what do all these buttons do? Well, with these tools you are the ultimate master of the water and the land. You can make mountains out of molehills, rivers out of ridges, and tees where there once were only trees. The tools in the Toolbar give you total control over your course's terrain, objects placed on your course and the cameras you use to see your course in the lower Camera View.
Click on each tool to find out more about it, or go to the overview for a run through of the basics.

Overview
Some of these buttons represent a single tool or function. Others (Terrain Types and the buttons with a black triangle in the lower-right corner) represent a whole set of tools. If you move the cursor over the Toolbar buttons you will see the buttons name and function in the Status Bar.
If you click, hold and then release, on one of the Toolbar buttons...
The name of the tool will appear in the Status Bar at the bottom of the window, along with a brief explanation of what that tool does. The name of the tool set, if any, appears in parentheses to the right.
The Toolbar buttons with a black triangle in the lower-right corner have a set of tools related to that button. Just left-click and hold and the tool set will be extended to the right of the button.
When the tool set is extended, you can move the cursor along the row of tools (with the Status Bar showing the name and function of each tool in turn) until you find the one you want to use. Then click on that tool to make it active. Click on the Default Cursor button to make the tool sets disappear.
To keep a tool set on the screen while you're working, right-click any toolbar to see a pop-up list of all the toolbars, then choose the toolbar you want. Once it's visible, a toolbar may be moved by dragging its title bar. A toolbar can be left as a free floating box
or parked along the bottom and sides of the view windows.
If, at some point, you un-check the Toolbar in the pop-up menu, thus making it disappear, right-click in the Status Bar area and choose Main Toolbar to bring it back.
The first documented reference to golf is from the Scottish Parliament of 1457, where King James II of Scotland prohibited the playing of golf on the grounds that it was conflicting with the practice of archery and other essential military skills crucial to the defense of the country.
