Green book for Merion Golf Club — East Course.
Ardmore, PA · par 70 · 18 holes.
What's in it
A green book shows how each green slopes and breaks. This one covers all 18 holes at Merion Golf Club — East Course: the green's slope percentage, downhill break arrows, elevation contours and a 5-yard depth grid, alongside the hole itself with its fairway, bunkers, water and trees, plus carry distances and the elevation change to the green.
It is hand-made and built from public data. Palm-size at 3.5×5″, designed to fall within the size and scale limits for green-reading materials under Rule 4.3 — but conformance is not guaranteed for every hole, and a Committee may restrict or prohibit its use under Model Local Rules G-11 or G-12 whatever its size. Confirm with your Committee before competition.

How this book was made
Hole and green shapes come from OpenStreetMap. Slope, contours and break arrows are computed from public-domain USGS 3DEP LiDAR elevation. Par, yardage and handicap are facts from the published scorecard. The book is independent of Merion Golf Club — East Course — the course name identifies the course and nothing more.
