Golf Instruction

You might be one of the many golfers who is looking for guaranteed golf instruction but doesn’t know the first step to take. The last thing you want is to hire someone for golf instruction and later find out that the individual wasn’t qualified. The first thing to look for when it comes to guaranteed golf instruction is experience. If someone has been offering golf instruction for 10 years, they are likely to have established an excellent reputation. Poor golf instructors can’t make a living for a decade. If you’re considering a visit to a golf school or training facility, look up the reviews for that golf school or training facility. It’s important that you look at consumer ratings opposed to professional ratings. The former is unbiased and the latter can often be skewed do to connections and deals.

At a recent tech show, I was pleasantly surprised to find an entire section dedicated to golf. One display that caught my eye was for a software-based golf swing analyzer. Approaching the table, I was skeptical because I had an incorrect preconceived idea of what the software did. This wasn?t the HAL-like artificial intelligence that I was imagining.

Instead, the software allowed you to input video of a golfer at two different points in time, and then the software would analyze the differences between those swings. Once the developers perfect this technology, this will be amazingly useful to determine what has gone wrong and to bust out of slumps. Unfortunately, the prototype has too many limitations currently to be practical. For instance, you essentially have to record the video in front of a green screen. Even minor deviations in attire can introduce errors into the analysis.

I was looking around for some golf tips for beginners, and I happened on this video series by an acclaimed pro. The series wasn’t that expensive, so I decided to make a purchase. It arrived very quickly, and there were plenty of great tips on each tape. I was able to apply these to my game, and I think I’m already becoming a better golfer. The information was concise, and well explained. I think videos are a pretty good source when it comes to golf tips for beginners, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a purchase. I’m sure there are probably several good videos for people at different levels of expertise.
