Did You See That Shot?!?!

October 12, 2012 | By Pete Girotto | 2 Comments

We’ve all been there before and it’s what keeps most of us coming back. That one shot struck so perfectly we forget how bad we’re actually playing. We’ve discussed this topic before but wouldn’t it be cool to replay that shot whenever we wanted?

I was watching a show about how dashboard cameras in police cruisers have become a useful tool for both the officer and the civilian.Thanks to these cameras, a lot of questions have been answered. Was the officer justified in beating the crap out of someone? Let’s check the tapes and review. Not only that but these videos can be used for future training too.

So, what about putting a camera on our golf carts? Maybe even certain spots on the course as well? I also understand some don’t want the eye in the sky and might feel their privacy infringed upon but I thought it would be pretty cool to record yourself hitting that perfect shot. Who knows, maybe even catching a hole-in-one. Granted we’ll also be able to save those not so perfect shots for posterity too.

Golf courses can capitalize on this. They can take the raw footage, edit it and for a small fee make a nice little package for us hacks. Not only did you hit the ace…you can prove it!

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!

    Learning from your good and bad swings can be useful but not on the course. Analyzing your game after the round could be as simple as tracking greens in regulation, fairways hit, three putt greens and up and downs from short range or greenside sand bunkers. It could be as complex as a video review of drives, irons, chips and putts to correct swing faults. The bottom line is to practice your weak areas to make them stronger reduce poor shots. Golf is more about the poor shots you do not hit rather than the great shots you do hit.

    That’s a great idea. It would be so nice to actually see myself when I hit that perfect shot so I can see what I was doing right. I am taking lessons and they use cameras and it makes a huge difference when I get to actually watch the motion and what I need to fix. Putting a camera on the golf cart would just be perfect and it would only make more money for the course.
