Looks like he has a decent short game.

I think Dan is a likable guy and he obviously progressed into a pretty good golfer. From knowing nothing about the game to playing pretty well, I give him props for that. Pretty good VLog overall, but it did get kind of boring after a while. Also, that weather in August would be enough for me to move far, far away. NE Ohio is brutal in the Winter, but at the end of the day I love our seasons.

I don't think it was August.  Some of those trees had no leaves.

Wow, I totally missed that. I just noticed the YouTube Publish date. Published on Jan 23, 2013. Damn, it really is a Monday today! :doh: I was really thrown off for a minute and asking myself where the hell he is playing in 38° weather right now in August... Time for another Red Bull and a cup of coffee!

Here is the vlog of last week's round. I only got 12 holes in before my battery died. Apologies in advance for some of the bad camera work. I tried to frame some different angles to show more of the course and forgot to check to see if I was on camera. Also, you can't see much on the first hole because I like to tee off at dawn. [VIDEO]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=piFAmIWVSHQ[/VIDEO] Next time I'm going to use an actual camcorder.

Quoted from my MySwing thread.

Here is my vLog. I think I actually swing worse when filming myself, because I fell back on myself more than a few times in this round when filming myself. In any case I am a bogey golfer, so I suppose that's okay, but I prefer playing when I can't see myself. I play a teeny bit better too.

Next vlog, I will focus on my form more.

My promise is your entertainment.

I don;t know what happened to the resolution. It should have been in 1080p. Maybe it was too large a file.

Watch all 3 of their VLOGS.

They missed holes 3 and 8, and the course is a lot more dry than when I played earlier this year.

It's fun comparing my VLOG with theirs!

The long drive golfer (Jimbo Logic) drove past the green on hole 7 where I was about 80-90 yards short on the drive.

Below is my first attempt at a course vlog.

Please be kind.  I know my swing isn't a pretty one and it needs work... but it's what I've got to work with for now.  I hesitated to post it here because of how good everybody else's swing has looked in comparison.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Nice job getting to within 5 feet on the first hole from 186 yards!

I think you are being to hard on yourself.  Swing doesn't look that bad to me.

I don't have any advice though.

Nice VLOG. You put the scenes together very well so that the viewer isn't waiting too much, but it's not shot right after shot with is a bit uncomfortable. Nice spacing is what I'm trying to say. Kudos!

You definitely have a pronounced over-the-top move. What's interesting is that it seems to be more pronounced when you are actually hitting the ball than on a practice swing. I would certainly start a MySwing thread if you haven't already.

BTW - I'm jealous that you are out on the course and I am not. :beer:

    • Some notes on what worked for my driver…. 1. Firmer grip pressure 2. Fling club back feeling like it’s left arm only. Right arm is along for the ride. *Kind of my go to for everything right now. It keeps the hands in, and allows me to feel like I can put the brakes on the backswing and swing the arms down. Also feels easier to get the right arm up off the chest.  3. Fricken rip it. If I do that, and I don’t lower the club with my body, I am stripping it. Biggest misses are maybe a slight pull or maybe a straight draw if I toe it.  
    • Aside from anything else, the D player gets to play their shot from the same place as the A/B/C player each time. SWAT (assuming it's what I think it is) the D player is playing from D player spots while everyone else is not. Hit one OB in a scramble and you get a go at the next shot. Hit one OB in SWAT and your next contribution will be the next hole.
    • With regard to dialing in distance wedges, I think it goes without saying that you need to have a pretty repeatable swing to start honing in on the numbers...meaning you wouldn't go through this exercise during a swing change or after a long hiatus.  As a not-often-enough golfer, I'm probably a little less repeatable than most of you. But I think I could still come up with some rough numbers once I get access to a launch monitor or space to put in the time. I might just have to remove some outliers where I completely biff the shot 😅 When you're coming up with the numbers for your wedge/swing combination, I'm assuming you take an average of several reps. Just curious how many in each set you're averaging? If you're all over the place, does it make more sense to come up with a small range for each swing? 
    • They have the potential for every one of their shots to count, and thus feel involved. And I think a lot of people use the C and D player shots more often than they think, if only because if they hit a decent shot the B and A player can "go after it" a little (typically resulting in a worse shot overall). When they're chipping for bogey and the A player has a 15 footer for birdie, they've been out of the hole for a little while already. They feel like they may as well not even be there. That's a big difference. I don't love scrambles, either, but they are what they are, and they do involve everyone more so than a SWAT.
    • D players are just as sidelined in scrambles - maybe they hit one lucky shot or sink 1 long putt (putting first, always).
