What's in it
A green book shows how each green slopes and breaks — the read the best players rely on. 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 — never from any commercial green-reading product. Palm-size at 3.5×5″, designed to fall within the size and scale limits of Rule 4.3.

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. Nothing is copied from any commercial product, and the book is independent of Merion Golf Club — East Course — the course name identifies the course and nothing more.
