That's true, but we don't have the context of what you're hitting at when you do a side view.

I dunno. I think a straight "behind" view would get old pretty quickly. That's why I put the camera on top of the cart twice, and messed around with other views.

So this is completely unedited since I am trying to get our IT guy to install Movie Maker to stitch together all my clips. I vlogged 5 holes at Royal New Kent in Providence Forge, VA (Mike Stranz desi

Okay, I've been away from the forum for a while. But I'm back with a VLOG.  Yeah, I try to always play golf on my birthday. This year was rough, due to COVID-19 and horrible weather, but I got in

It doesn't have to be straight behind, it could be at an angle, but I think the direction of the shot should be a focus.  I think people are just as interested in the view of the shot as well as seeing the person hitting the ball.  This is just meant as advice from a viewer, no offense intended.

I love to hate this damn game.

I take no offense; I just disagree. I think the camera angles varying add interest.

You just need a drone acting as a blimp to give you the overhead view. :smartass:

Yeah, invest in one of those remote control copter cams that they use in movies for aerial shots. Teach your daughter how to fly it and give us those PGA style ball flight clips!

To each their own.  I like doing offset angles with the camera so you can see the layout of the hole in the background.  Others like to be more creative about it.  I thought the camera angles Erik was doing on top of the cart and such were pretty dang cool.  That is what makes this fun.  People can try different things, you can get different views and it is more fun that way.  Also less talk, more Vlogs! :-D

I'm thinking of doing a few shots with the camera on the target line. I will probably use an older crappy camera to do this. You never know.

I look forward to seeing it.  I might be doing another one tomorrow as well.

I wonder if I could borrow my buddy's drone, or him and his drone and have him operate it. I might try and get out and do a test run on Saturday if possible. My buddy is the GM of a course and I'll have to run the idea by him of course. The drone is literally silent and can reach heights of 300-400 feet with no problem - so distraction is not really an issue as far as noise and flyover's are concerned. I just don't know if he's willing to allow for the "what if it crashes and hits somebody" factor, even though it's likely 1/1,000,000.

I wouldn't think there would be a bigger danger of someone getting hit by a golf ball than a drone. I wouldn't fly it over water or anything. It would be awesome if you could pull that off!

Very nice @mvmac , enjoyed hearing your thoughts of what you'd like to do before the shots.

@jamo I just watched your video on page 2 just now, your captions are hilarious!! Hope you'll do some more, if you do I'll definitely be watching :)

There was soccer on tv here last night and the course was empty , they already closed up before I got out so the flag on the first hole is missing (they take some that are close to the road in at night). I was literally the only one out playing so thought it would be a good time to give the filming a try! I did some commenting but when I came home I found out the microphone didn't really pick much of it up, it was probably too windy. Also I have to figure out how to get the quality a bit better, I filmed in HD but it doesn't really look like that on youtube now ... Hope some of you will enjoy watching, not much special going on but I thought I played ok and had fun doing the filming :)

Looks good. I liked some of the camera angles like the worm eye view while putting.

Nice. Why only 4?

Got a match tomorrow so I wanted to get in at least 9 and just didn't have enough time to film every hole.

Also had to film a posture video for a member ;-)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Who Else Hates Scrambles?

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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?

      Who Else Hates Scrambles?

      By iacas · Posted

      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).
