>Why us?: We're a team of mediocre golfers, so we feel like we understand what the average golfer who wants to improve their game wants... and at the very least we can use our own app :). In addition, we believe we have the technical chops, as well as drive, tenacity, hustle, and vision to be successful.
Okay, then why isn't it "mediocre golfers who knocked a combined 37 strokes off our game?" First off, this needs no computer, no internet connection, no mobile phone to test and produce a result for the end user. You go. Somebody watches. You get tips. Your score drops. No electricity required.
>Our app allows you to film yourself golfing
A programming language 'allows' anyone to build an app. The reason they don't is they can't. Usability is key here. And if you're not throwing in one of these, you're limiting your market.
>we believe there is an untapped market for longer term, consistent feedback, where you can get better slowly over time.
You show me your [smoke test.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(lean_startup) I'll show you belief is not required.
Because your belief refutes every bit of marketing for the sports improvement and fitness industry (Think Eight Minute Abs) from the last thirty years. The Internet user has the attention span of a fruit fly. I know, let's get them better at golf in mo ... oh look somthin' shiny.
And who is the feedback coming from? Tiger Woods? Or any retard good at putt-putt you can get your greasy crowdsourcing fingers on?
Golfers, in general, already get better over long time periods. Every guy in a twosome or larger gets tips on their game from an informed amateur.
This looks similar to another thing I saw advertised on facebook, a tool to make your own marketing videos. But yours is geared toward silly memes.
The intro was funny, I almost laughed. But if I were you I'd be concerned about using celebrity photos. Where as satire is fair use, using their likeness in commerce is not. To argue wheather or not it is satire would cost you money.
I made an attempt at using it. It was not that intuitive. You would need a tutorial.
But before you get that far, you need to validate this platform and figure out how to monetize it.
