Abstract
This invention relates to an electronic hand-held golf-club selection device. The device includes a series of buttons bearing numbers and pictures of golf clubs, for inputting information into an electronic storage means in the device. Whenever a golfer plays a game of golf, he enters the distance that the ball is hit with each golf club. The device then averages the distance for each golf club and provides the golfer with details on how far he generally hits a golf ball with a particular golf club.
