Vail Golf Club Indoor Golf Swing Analysis Returns in January
Looking for an excuse to ski and play golf on the same day? Beginning in January, the Vail Golf Club's golf swing analysis machine will be available to maintain your golf swing during the winter months. The swing analysis utilizes multiple cameras and sound and light to capture a golfer's swing in real-time and slow motion, then records it to video. Swing analysis offers golfers an opportunity to study their head movement, sway line and swing plane, as well as synchronize their swings to that of their favorite pro, track progress against their own past swing mechanics and even e-mail the video to friends. Swing analysis lessons are available by appointment from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Lessons cost $35 per 30 minute session and can be booked by calling Vail Golf Club Head Professional Jeanne Sutherland at 479-2260 ext. 4.
