Driving Range Video

Problem: Improving one’s own golf swing can be very difficult, especially because it is difficult to observe the swing to observe defects and correct them. This is especially true for people like myself who do not like to pay for lessons. Also, when one does identify corrective actions to attempt, it is difficult to assess whether the actions are working.

Solution: Special stalls could be configured at the local driving range that capture and display video of the swing. This could be done inexpensively with a basic video camera and monitor. Additional features could offer a view of the swing from several angles, and possibly save several recent swings for purposes of comparison. I believe that such stalls at driving ranges would be highly coveted by the customers of the golf center. There could be a premium charged for these stalls, either a flat hourly fee or an additional fee on the golf balls when hit in this area. Another option would be to offer this new device for free, and the increased traffic and buzz might pay for the equipment.
