Play golf via satellite

GmapGolf.com is attempting to create a Google Maps mashup that will allow users to play golf via online satellite maps. The site is still in alpha mode, meaning that you can't actually play anything yet. However, some users (myself included) have begun to map out golf courses by outlining course features like tees, sand traps, greens, etc. The picture below is of me editing the first hole at Ocean View in Bermuda, which I recently played. I'm very interested to see if this project can get off the ground. Its the first augmented reality gaming done on a global scale that I know of.
