Topography linked golf aid

摘要

A computer readable media and computing device for computing and displaying a path trajectory and an aim point icon for directing a putted golf ball from a starting point on a golf course to a target point based on pre-computed putting data for the putting green is provided. The aim point icon is graphically displayed on a visual representation of the putting green at an aim point distance perpendicular to the left or right of the target location, the aim point distance representing a location on the putting green for properly aiming a putt in order to propel the golf ball from the start position to the desired target location.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable media containing program instructions for providing putting information when executed by a processor of a computing device, the program instructions comprising computer program code for:
receiving by the computing device a start position of a golf ball relative to the putting green and a desired target location relative to the putting green; determining by the processor of the computing device a path trajectory for the start position and the desired target location based on pre-computed putting data for the putting green; outputting to a display a graphical representation of the determined path trajectory on a visual representation of the putting green; and outputting to the display a putting parameter for propelling the golf ball from the start position to the target location based the determined path trajectory, wherein the putting parameter comprises an aim point icon graphically displayed on the visual representation of the putting green at an aim point distance perpendicular to the left or right of the target location, the aim point distance representing a location on the putting green for properly aiming a putt in order to propel the golf ball from the start position to the desired target location.
