First triumph of María Cabanillas

The First National Youth Tournament was held at C.A. Students from Paraná and among women, the competition was defined in the play-offs and was in the hands of María Cabanillas, who made 148 strokes with laps of 76 and 72.

Our representative prevailed against Anna Herrlein of the C.S.D. Gral. Miter de Pérez, who finished with two rounds of 74 shots. After them was Julieta Oviedo with 75 and 79 for 154.

For his part, the winner among men was Amadeo Martínez from the host club. With records of 74 and 74 strokes he added 148 for two over par. The second position was shared by Ramiro Acevedo del Ranelagh GC, with 77 and 72, and by the Paraguayan Matías Koropeski who made 75 and 74 to finish one of the winner. The weather prevented the second round of the First National Tournament for Under-15s from taking place in Junín G.C. where Nicolás Cabanillas participated. Under these circumstances, the scores of the previous day were those that determined the final results of the contest. The Second National Tournaments will be played on Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th of September. The Minors will do it at the Ascochinga Golf Club and the younger ones at the El Paso Country Club. In this way, our eximia representative, begins his path of triumph in the national tournaments of his category. We wish you every success for the upcoming competitions. Bravo Maria!

Virtual and personalized swing lessons

To have a good performance on the course, correcting and improving your swing is key, that is why Chapelco Golf Club offers its members the possibility of reviewing their technique virtually. Learn how this custom swing class works.

An excellent alternative that new technologies give us is to be able to record our swing and analyze it later to correct errors in posture and direction of the blow. For that we only need the help of a colleague or caddy to record us with the mobile. But if we add to that the return of a golf teacher, the chances of success are much higher.

How to record the video?

1. The person capturing the image is ideally positioned approximately 6 feet from the player, framing the image in a centered manner, and holding it steady during the course of the shot. 2. The center of the image must be adjusted in the space that is caused between the hands and the player's navel, both for the frontal shot and those that are lateral. 3. To record we must use a tripod, and if it is not available, the same bag can be used to support the device. The important thing is that it remains as stable as possible since drawn lines will be drawn on the recorded video for analysis. 4. We suggest taking all shots with the screen in a horizontal position.

There are 3 fundamental filming angles and one very useful one. These perspectives are called Front View, Side View or Target Line View, and Rear View. Let's see how each shot is done: Front view To record this position it is necessary for the camera to point directly to the center of the body - already explained above - regardless of which stick we play or where we place the ball.

Side view Although the position is called "lateral", the camera must be located at the height of our hands, in the stance, because if it is located in the line of the feet it will appear that we are swinging more outside and vertical than in reality. we are doing.

Back View This shot is not as important as the others, but it is very useful to observe how the lower body is behaving and how the weight is distributed laterally throughout the swing. To take this image, the camera must be placed at the height of the center of the body above the hips of the golfer.

Grip view This scene can be enlarged and taken closer to the player to have a better perception of what the union between the club and the body is like.

Sending of recordings Once you have compiled the information in video format, please send it to contacto@chapelcogolf.com If the weight of the images makes it difficult to send, we suggest you do it through Wetransfer to the same email. Recommendations: Do not compress the files to make the shipment, write us in a separate email containing the shipment notice with full name and membership number. Our director will make the observations and within a period of approximately one week he will have his feedback at the email address from which he wrote us. We hope you can take advantage of this beneficial alternative during this time of preparation for the high season of golf at our beloved Club.
