I have a mini tripod for my camera.  The tripod only cost $7 and there is a standard interface that screws into most cameras (Canon, Panasonic, etc).  Really it is an easy setup and best of all I get HD video from this.  Highly recommended.


No iPhone for me, I have a different one.  I don't know why there are so many iPhone accessories available (e.g. Target has a whole section) while everyone with a different phone has to get their stuff online, and get so many fewer choices.

I have a blackberry playbook with a 1040i HD camera... Given my limited space, I have to film DTL. As you can see from my videos... its pretty sharp with the proper lighting.

I also posted a thread that can help you cut, capture, and condense your video. Just search under my username.

There is a new mount coming soon that can mount to your golf bag and alignment rods. You can see it on our site.

Since you're a former sponsor, and because I contributed $33 myself and would like to see this project get funded, I'm adding a link here for others to see:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/667763688/x-mount-not-your-typical-smartphone-mountits-mobil/

Please back this project. The $33 or $37 options are great benefits. I still have and use my original holster - the only downside is that I can't use it indoors. The clamp will solve that problem nicely.

This looks like an awesome tool. Better than GorillaPod or whatever it's called. Take my money!

Really liking this overall compared to other iPhone mounts anywhere. I'm backing it.

I was thinking. I could rig a rod attachment on my nightstand and use the clamp so I can place the smartphone for optimal video viewing position in bed. Another possible use.

Seems like a great product. Not sure I'd use it for anything other than golf, though, haha.

Family photos, clamp on chair, timer, everyone is in photo. Traveling selfies. Fixing stuff - arm puts camera in out of reach places, take photos of hard to see nooks.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
