Help with a Template

I am new to graphics and CorelDraw. At a recent golf tournament, we received a photo put into this template. I would like to know how to change the golf course picture in the corner to add a different course picture. I think it was done with the transparency tool. I would also like to know how to make the blue background. Again, I think it was done with the transparency tool. I am using X7. Any help with pretty clear instructions for a "newbie" would be appreciated.

Thanks
