    Converting batter and slope to inches of setback per course

    Ok that's a definite option! I guess I can go to an engineer supply and grab a scale- as you call it- is my lack of experience showing yet? If I did want to apply a formula, do you have any idea how I could do it? I'd like to be able to do it for all batters, from 1:1 up to at least 1H:10V...
