From the vlog thread:

Its not perfect, but here it is.  I had a week off from work and a bunch of tee times around 5:30/5:40am and was usually the only one out there.  On this day of course, they wanted to pair me with 3 other guys, but I negotiated an early release to get out there on my own.  Anyway, I had to rush the first two shots, to build a little cushion.  Also the picture is sometimes crappy since there are no do-overs and I wasn't really reviewing them after each hole.  Some of the putts where I left my camera in my cart are almost impossible to see.

A couple of thoughts on doing this vlog:

Its not nearly as cumbersome as I expected.  I felt very rushed on the first hole or two but after that it went really smooth and easy.

I think I played better because the camera made me focus on making good swings on every shot.  Knowing you all would see this kept me focused!

I used my phone and a gorilla pod, but since I was riding I had to put the phone on the ground whenever I couldn't get a cart in the right place.  Next time I'd bring a tripod

I didn't have any issues with batter power, but I did have to start trimming my videos on the course and deleted apps to avoid running out of space.  A normal 8GB card isn't quite enough, and I had cleared off all my old pictures and videos.

It's really cool to have a video of my best round!

Hit some balls on a trackman today to try to figure out my shots zones.  I'll post them a bit later, but here's the summary data without the dispersion.  Its quite sobering.  I lost a lot of clubhead speed.  When I got my driver the flightscope was giving me pretty consistent 101-102.  That was probably 2 years ago.  I'll have to find the data from when I was fit for irons, too.

Anyway, here it is.  I thought I had another 10 yards or so on each club, but I also know I was coming up short more often than I'd like, so this seems about right.

those aren't listed in order, but it looks like this:

Club	Carry	Total
