GOLF BALL AND CADDIE SYSTEM

摘要

A golf ball sensing apparatus for use with a portable electronic device including a data acquisition device and a processing unit, and in association with a golf club and a cup. The apparatus includes a golf ball, at least one sensor carried by the ball and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The sensor senses at least one attribute of the ball. The medium directs a processing unit to identify the initiation of a first stroke of the ball towards the cup, obtain a first final location after the first stroke, obtain the at least one attribute of the first stroke, store a set of associated data regarding the first stroke, obtain a second initial location of the ball prior to a subsequent second stroke, and output portions of the stored set of data in response to the second initial location being within a predetermined zone of the first initial location.

1. A golf ball sensing apparatus for use with a portable electronic device including a data acquisition device and a processing unit, and in association with a golf club and a cup, the apparatus comprising:
at least one golf ball; at least one sensor carried by the golf ball, the sensor sensing at least one attribute of the golf ball; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium to direct the processing unit to:
identify the initiation of a first stroke of the golf ball by the golf club towards the cup;obtain a first final location of the golf ball of the first stroke;obtain the at least one attribute of the first stroke from the data acquisition device;store a set of associated data comprising an estimated first initial location of the golf ball, the first final location of the golf ball and the at least one attribute of the first stroke;obtain a second initial location of the golf ball prior to a subsequent second stroke of the golf ball towards the cup; andoutput at least portions of the stored set of associated data in response to the second initial location being within a predetermined zone of the first initial location.
