Rio Olympic Golf Course Future Looks Bleak

By

Joel Beall

Despite a less-than-auspicious build-up, golf's return to the Olympics was generally regarded as a success, laying the groundwork for the sport to remain in the Summer Games. But while golf's Olympic future looks bright, the $19 million Rio golf course --- built specifically for the event -- is facing significant issues in the present.

Report: President Obama's 2013 golf trip with Tiger Woods cost $3.6 million

  Remember when President Barack Obama and Tiger Woods played a round of golf together back in 2013? I do. Obama went to Florida, played with Woods and got a lesson from Butch Harmon.
  
  
  "I don't think either party was nervous," Obama said at the time. "He knew that I wasn't a big threat to his world ranking and I knew that I better keep my day job."

Dual Camera and Proper Positioning

Soon GolfCamHD will roll-out the ability for a golfer to easily record video of two angles of the golf swing simultaneously, like face-on and down-the-line, and then categorize them in a powerful video gallery for side by side replay and motion analysis. It will be called, DualCam.

Dual Camera video is significant for everyone from the new golfer to the instructor because until now, the cost of this capability was simply out of reach for most and too cumbersome to setup remotely. Now, the return on investment is one that can benefit any golfer when measured as financial cost to strokes gained. And more than that, if you are an instructor or a swing coach, you're now capable of a mobility that's been previously unavailable in the segment. That is, you can go anywhere carrying in your bag, a hitting station with equipment that can be set up in minutes and deliver more value to the student. It will keep them coming back for more instruction from you, and all this for the cost of an app.

Because this ability is so powerful, we thought we would spend some time talking about the proper positioning of a camera for video capture a swing. While we at GolfCamHD maintain that any video of your swing is beneficial to the golfer at our price point, as you get more and more involved with video, you may want to move into the more refined aspects.

The Prologue to a very exciting Masters

Rory McIlroy on No. 2

This past weekend the Dell Match Play certainly was quite an exciting one.  We had some big names move farther into the tournament while some didn’t even make it to the elimination rounds. We even saw a rare match play between top names in the game. 

This also brings to mind the new format now where players will at least play 3 matches with everyone in the bracket your randomly chosen in,  the winner of your bracket moving on to the traditional match play brackets.

Past Few Weeks in Golf

by George Miller, GCHD Staff Writer

These past few weeks certainly haven’t turned out like most people thought they would. Big time names making a comeback in the game Like Charl Schwartzel making the 5 shot comeback to win at the Valspar or Adam Scott winning two events in south Florida, including a WGC.  Who saw this coming? Not me.

The Changes in Golf Fashion

Throughout the history of golf we have seen the game change but while I was watching my swing in my office on the big screen I thought that the style of golf has certainly changed. Think about it, we have seen our style change from knickers to pants, cotton to dri-fit materials; plaid to solid colors, slim to loose fit, and it has all baffled us at some point to think, we wore that?- when it was in style.

Why you should be taking video?

GolfCamHD in the Play Store

Many golfers today tend to shy away from using video in their training regimes - Almost as if it is a type of black magic. While wearable’s and radar sensors, grip alignment tools and many others are acceptable training aids to have and use.  Whatever the underlying reason is, I am here to tell you that it is just one more tool, in a world of many aids that will help you improve your golf game.

Chipping - How to create a solid chipping motion

by George Miller, GCHD Staff Writer

Chipping is something that we can all get better at (unless you hole out every chip). It is something that some people fear doing due to the shank, chunk, or thinned chip dangers lurking within the dark never reaches of their grey matter. Sometimes yes these flaws are due to a mental problem but have you ever taken a video to see what your chipping technique looks like?
