Nobody films the shot before it goes in. Clippar keeps your phone on the bag facing the tee, and one press of the clicker before each tee shot means that if one ever drops, the video already exists.


Phone holder, Bluetooth clicker, badge reel and power bank, with 3 months of Clippar Pro. It works if you press the clicker before the shot. That's the one habit.
After your 3 included months, Clippar Pro is A$14.99/month or A$99.99/year through Apple, and recording needs it. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.

Why there's never a video
You'd have to have decided to film that tee shot before you knew. Most people don't film a par 3 on a whim, so most holes in one exist as a story, a scorecard and a round of drinks.
Clippar makes filming the default. The phone sits in a holder on your bag or buggy, facing the tee, and you press a clicker before each shot. The app trims to the swing and draws the ball flight when it can pick the ball up.
The par-3 routine
On a par 3, clip the holder to your bag or buggy with the tee in frame.
The clicker's on your belt, so it's one press, then your normal routine.
Clippar trims the clip and traces it when it can pick the ball up. Most of them won't go in. You'll have a nice reel of par 3s anyway.
The tracer
This is a real tee shot, filmed on the kit and traced by Clippar. Yours will look like this, minus the bit where it goes in, most weeks.
The tracer works on full swings when it can pick the ball up. When it can't, the shot is left as filmed and you can draw it by hand.
Remembered
The clip is the start. Clippar keeps it with the round it happened in.




In the bag

Hole in one video questions
Be filming before you hit. With Clippar the phone sits in a holder on your bag facing the tee and you press a clicker before each shot, so the one that goes in is already recording.
Only if you pressed the clicker before the shot and the tee was in frame. It can't film a shot it wasn't recording.
Your playing partners and your card are what count at your club. The video is for everyone else, and for you in ten years.
The tracer draws the ball flight on full swings when it can pick the ball up in your footage. When it can't, the shot is left as filmed, and you can draw the trace in by hand.
