Women’s Golf Recruiting Video
Women’s golf recruiting video is often your first “interview.”
Because most coaches evaluate hundreds of players worldwide, a clear, professional highlight film can set you apart — even before they see your scores.
This guide shows how to plan, film, and edit a highlight video that coaches actually watch to the end.
🧭 Why Video Matters
- Coaches rely on film to compare players internationally.
- They use swing video to assess mechanics and ball control.
- Tournament footage reveals focus, composure, and routine under pressure.
- A great video turns an email intro into a recruiting conversation.

🎯 Ideal Video Structure
| Section | Length | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Intro Card | 5–10 sec | Name • Grad Year • Country • GPA • Contact Info |
| Full Swings | 45–60 sec | 2 Drivers • 3 Irons • 3 Wedges (front & side angles) |
| Short Game | 45–60 sec | Chipping • Pitching • Bunker Shots |
| Putting | 30 sec | 6–8 putts of different distances |

🎬 Keep it under 4 minutes — coaches decide within the first 30 seconds.
📹 Filming Tips
- Use a tripod or stable surface for every angle.
- Record both down-the-line and face-on for each club.
- Prioritize natural light and clear ball flight visibility.
- Include a mix of range and course shots.
- No music, filters, or slow-motion overuse.
- Add brief captions (e.g., “7 Iron – 145 yards”).
💡 Your tempo and routine matter more than your club speed.
