Post your Optishot Videos (Games, Instruction, Onlineplay, Amazing shots, Hole's in one !)

[Buckeye]

I here you Buckeye, but if someone is driving the ball longer than Bubba Watson, we need proof ,but for the rest of us just playing the game we love, it's not fun proving every round that we are "not" cheating . Anyway whatever the vote is I am cool with. Good luck in the British buddy !

Cheers

Thanks you too.

For what it's worth, I don't see streaming as "proving I'm not cheating" but rather to add drama to the tournaments. I think it's weird, but I honestly find it exciting watching the guys near the top of the leaderboard playing their last rounds.

Watching Brad in disgust after hitting the ball in the water each day on 17 at sawgrass was good entertainment, the same as watching Aurincoynen go birdie eagle birdie on the last three holes yesterday to sneak a win by 1 stroke. I wasn't watching to see if they were cheating, I was watching to for the entertainment.

Hey guys, I have to say that making it obligatory to video every round is a bit too severe to keep it fair for eveyone imo. It will defintely keep potential players from joining our tour. For all of us that can't twitch or webcam ( due to older, slower computers or limited internet access). Recording every round and uploadind to youtube is time consuming and a pain in the butt. My next recording will be shot from behind me and you will see me swinging into my screen but the image of the game wont be as clear for you.
Having said that, in the three years since I've had my Optishot, playing online with you guys and playing in these tournaments has been by far the most fun I've had with it ! I will always play by the league rules and respect the game but what if for some reason, my the memory on my smartphone that I record my rounds runs out or the battery dies on the 16th hole in the final round of a major ? Am I disqualified ? If that's the case then this new rule is not fair.
Maybe a good solution to keep out the " cheaters" is to make everyone video ONE round to show your actually playing golf and swinging all your clubs. Then videoing is your choice. Just an idea. BTW how could anyone actually cheat once we have all seen his set up, swing and a whole round of play ?

Cheers ☺

I agree with this, Maxxx. Another alternative might be putting in a rule that you must play with another player at least one round per tournament. Or maybe one round every 2 tournaments. If you're hitting it 280 and someone is blowing it by you by 60 yards, then that person may have to prove legitimacy through video. Just a thought.

Might be a good option Corey..

Thanks

Glad I could add to the entertainment! 😄

Guys,

Based on the post and the PM's that I have received video's of the Tournament Rounds will not be a requirement, but preferred. The League will set up a Board consisting of 4 Members that will discuss concerns that may arise during the Season of players that may be in question... The Board will determine whether or not a Player will need to provide Proof of Setup, including Clubs, ball, and Game settings.. I will solicit prominent members to be part of this board, and leave them in charge with dealing with these matters and keep me posted on what needs to happen..

Thank You all for your input,

CatMan

[braycobb]

I believe this is a good compromise CatMan!

I would like to put my name in for being on the committee.

[Willymakit]

So guys. What else do I need to prove to you guys on how I hit the ball and the setup I have. I'm against streaming because it slows my computer down. I made a video so what's next. A Drug test. Lol.

[Maxxx]

Agreed Brad , but as Buckeye and others have said it's great to watch some of the rounds you guys are playing. So if you can , we encourage you all to video your rounds ⛳

I believe this is a good compromise CatMan!

Short clip from final round in the previous tournament where I kinda lives up to my name and is VERY frustrated.
Feel free to laugh "with" me when I try to putt without realizing that Opti think I should use my sand iron.
Minor profanity might occur, enjoy.

[braycobb]

Very much agree that I great to watch ithers' rounds. It has become quite addictive for me.

[live2golf]

So I started playing well in a practice round ( -2 after 6 holes @ Barseback) and ended with a TREMENDOUS round. I captured holes 6-18 in about a 27 minute clip showing everything mentioned in the post about the considered requirement of videos. I hope after seeing it that there is no question about my ability to shoot a low score. I'll keep you updated when I get a chance to upload it.

[CatMan]

So i made this video for a number of reasons. After the St. Andrews tournament a new rule will be coming into effect. And that's about having to record your round and also having you in it. Personally i think that's over doing it. So to give you an example. From playing a round and uploading it to youtube im looking at over 1.5 hours to do all this. my round takes 25 minutes to play and about 40-50 minutes to download to youtube. i tried to stream live and it kept kicking me out of the game because computer is running to slow so that option is out for me. The other thing i notice its slows my computer down while running my camera and im not about going out to buy a new one. i don't want to quit playing in the tournaments but with all these rules its forcing me not to play in them. So im just making a point because it was noted that the guys that have no problem with it will do everything to follow the rules and the guys that are hiding something will quit. So im showing this video that i have nothing to hide. Because after St Andrews if rules are not revisted then i will just have to opt out of tournaments unfortanutely and play in the lobbly where everybody cheats i guess. Hopefully im not the only one voicing an option on this and if i am i guess im going to look like the bad one.

Jason,

Your Hilarious,

Keep making your video's dude, You do have a nice swing, but it seemed your driving MPH was more realistic 112, which is more palatable. Some great entertainment Dude.....

[CatMan]

Jason, it looks like your hitting Foam Balls, I thought you said you were hitting real Balls?? Not that it matters, but just an observation..

[Willymakit]

Yes I'm hitting real balls. Looks like back to recording another round.
