The equipment for the Golf Academy is in a large metal-sided shed, modeled after a similar facility at golf course in Las Vegas, Nev. It is located at the south end of the driving range at Riverview Golf Course. There are four digital cameras mounted in the room. All the cameras, which can be adjusted and moved to view different angles, are hooked into the computer where the images are then put through a program. The images can then be manipulated and shown at all different angles showing a golfer s swing or putting motion. Simply put, it is a computer-enhanced video teaching method.
Students can see themselves from four different angles.
The computer program technology allows us to stop the swing anytime. This is the exact same system that Tiger Woods and David Duvall have used to have their swings analyzed. This is what they use when they work on their golf swings. The computer program has tools which we can use to check a grip, swing planes, stance, club head speed, and angles of ball impact. There are minivideos built in showing what a ball does when hit with an open face or a closed face.
