Intro title credits should have a little more pizzaz to them. Find a designer friend to help out. Even an outline or a drop shadow would help.

First off, you guys have a good sort of chemistry together. This reminds me a LOT of videos I used to make in high school. Almost uncanny.

My suggestion, set up your shots with a wide view of everything, then when people are actually talking, move in to a close up. Much easier when you\'re not trapped on a tripod though, assume it was just you two guys.

Give your titles some movement, some excitement.

Are you using a pinnacle capture card? Something about the weird compression reminds me of recording on an old VHS camcorder and editing on Premiere 5.0. Or maybe it\'s the music. Be careful that you can always hear the voices over the music.

Three cuts before the putting line - are you showing all the different ways of stroking?

When you cut from audio with a lot of background, make sure to FADE out the audio before going to quiet. Otherwise you get the jarring emptiness between shots.

Good job Dan Tripod! Haha.

The end shot made me chuckle a bit, that\'s some funny and awkward pointing!

The guy in the maroon shirt has great stage presence. I would watch him make a sandwich. Have him star in your next pilot. The other guy was good, but Maroon-shirt won me over. GREAT reinvention of a sitcom title. Totally reworked a title and hit the potential of this fight. Good tunes, fun editing, I dunno. I don\'t golf. I don\'t like golf humor. But I also don\'t like other people or the out-of-doors. I am going to go make some chili and sit in my underwear. Nice movie.

I voted for this. Some of the production type stuff needed some brushing up, but I thought it was pretty funny

Not a golf fan. This video is pretty eh. The music is pretty annoying. If you were purposefuly making in cheesy, you guys could have made it look like that more. Idk the multiple cuts were kind of out of place.
