Help a beginner please

Hi,
I'm new to Panoguide. I've done some 180 degree panoramas in the past stitching together digital images. The question I have is how to stitch successive shots to create a Google street view type experience. I'd like to be able to do that for my local golf course so that you could stroll onto the first tee, walk down the fairway, onto the green and then onto the second hole. Yes, I am that sad. Is there an easy way to achieving this?

In principle, producing a street view experience of a golf course is straightforward. You simply take the requisite number of panoramas along the route to be followed and create hotspots to link them together. The panoramas are stitched individually, and hotspots added in the tour creation software. This would entail a huge amount of work, depending on the spacing of the selected viewpoints along the route. Batch processing the images would help a lot to minimize stitching drudgery. A loftier approach was adopted by forum member stalwart at this course: www.craythorne.co.uk/360/start.html .

John in stalwart's example above it is as if the panoramic images were all taken from a place high above the ground (I'm talking about the course)...But there's no such thing where the photographer with his tripod might have stood on...How is this done- special handcoding or programs available on the market/plugins?

Burake,
I suppose it's done with an octocopter or something like it. It seems to me to be higher than a 6m pole.
You can also use a lifter.
The thing is to bring the camera as high in the air as shown in the pano. I do not think there is a program to change the picture afterwards to simulate this point of view.
