How to Make an Effective Swing Video

A video of your swing is a nice way to introduce yourself to a coach that may not know about your or your golf game. A good way to start is by introducing yourself in front of the camera. You could also give a brief introduction of yourself, your goals, or other things you want the coach to be aware of. Remember this video is an opportunity to show a little bit of your personality. Don't go overboard, just be yourself. Try to keep your video 3 to 5 minutes in length.
