Never be late for a golf lesson appointment again! You can now upload your golf swing via the internet.
Your online golf instructor will critique your swing and send you his/her analysis.
You do not even have to drive to the location of your golfing instructor.
This saves you time and money.
But remember you need to practice the lesson that you have just been taught.
Maybe you already have a great golf coach that you see in the flesh? An online golf lesson can be a great option for a second opinion for your golf swing.
They allow you to get expert advice from some of the worlds best golfing instructors like David Leadbetter.
When you take a golf lesson online you will need to video tape yourself making several swings hitting golf balls.
The lesson is recorded so you will always have a reference to build on your improvement.
1.
You will need a video camera and a sturdy video tripod.
A computer is required with access to the internet.
2.
Drive to your local driving range.
Try and select a hitting bay that is down the far end of the range so you will not get interrupted by other golfers training.
3.
Setup the camera on its tripod so it is positioned behind you down the line.
It will be facing the target.
Make sure that you get have the camera level with the horizon.
Otherwise it will make it difficult for the golf instructor to analyse your golf swing.
Do a test to make sure that you whole swing is in shot on the camera.
4.
Change the camera position so it is facing you.
Check again that your complete swing is in camera shot.
5.
Export the video from your camera to your PC.
Adobe Premiere is a great program to use for home video production.
6.
Compress the video footage and upload to the golf instructors website.
A broadband internet connection is best as a dial up will be slow for uploading video files.
7.
Practice, practice and practice the information your online golf instructor sends you.
Take some recordings of your own over a period of a few weeks and see if you are making progress.
But do not get into a habit of taking your video with you every time you go to the driving range.
Otherwise you will become too mechanical with your golf swing.
