Estimating golfer position using vehicle sensors

A golf system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine, based on one or more first signals from one or more sensors, that a golfer has exited a golf cart;
• determine, based on one or more second signals from the one or more sensors, a current location of the golf cart;
• determine, based on one or more third signals from the one or more sensors, a golf stroke of the golfer has occurred;
• determine, a relative position of the golfer during the golf stroke to the current location of the golf cart;
• and
• determine a shot position of the golfer based on the relative position of the golfer and the current location of the golf cart;
• wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to at least one of:
• (a) identify one or more golf strokes as practice strokes, and, responsive to identifying a practice stroke, refrain from marking the practice stroke as indicative of a shot being taken;
• or
• (b) classify a respective pose of the golfer as indicating the golf stroke has occurred based on an amount of time the golfer is in the respective pose.

A golf cart comprising:

• one or more first sensors including at least one of an inertial measurement unit, a proximity sensor, or a seat sensor;
• one or more second sensors including at least one of a camera or a lidar sensor;
• and
• one or more processing circuits including one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine, based on one or more first signals from the one or more first sensors, that a golfer has exited the golf cart;
• determine, based on one or more second signals, a current location of the golf cart on a golf course;
• determine, based on one or more third signals from the one or more second sensors, a relative position of the golfer to the current location of the golf cart;
• and
• determine a position of the golfer on the golf course based on the relative position of the golfer and the current location of the golf cart.
