<p>A system for recording the occurrence of a hole-in-one or other preselected event at a golf layout includes a video camera (17) trained upon the tee (13), the target putting green (11), and any intervening area (14) between the tee (13) and putting green (11), plus a recording device (21) for storing video images showing the flight trajectory of a golf ball from a tee to the green. The video camera (17) and recording device (21) are operated by a coin control (18, 19) adjacent to the tee (13). A golfer first inserts the appropriate coins, causing the video camera (17) and recording device (21) to be operational for a predetermined time period. If a hole-in-one or other specified event occurs, the recorded video images can be monitored to verify this fact and to substantiate the claim of a player to any outstanding offer of a prize or reward.</p> |
