Equipment

Each golf camp participant will need the following equipment:

  1. Video Camcorder
  2. Tripod with quick-release plate
  3. Driver, five-iron, putter
  4. Six new golf balls
  5. Golf glove
  6. Golf shoes
  7. Tennis or running shoes
  8. Tee shirt and gym shorts
  9. The Efficient Golfer  book
  10. Pen

Your camcorder will need a shutter speed of at least 1/1000th of a second and the ability to play back frame-by-frame. DVD camcorders are usually not very good for frame-by-frame analysis because of the compression method they use. 

We also recommend a tripod with a quick-release plate. You will also need the appropriate cables or adapter to display your tape on a conventional TV screen. 

If you are unsure about what type of camcorder and tripod is appropriate, please call us so that we can discuss several options with you.

We will provide each participant with a notebook, course materials, and a transparent protractor, erasable marker, and straight edge for measuring your swing mechanics.
