Abstract
A wireless connection (101) is connected to an object monitor (103) that is capable of determining trajectory characteristics of a moving object, such as a golf ball driven by a golfer practicing golf drives and strokes. The wireless connection (101) facilitates the transmission of the attributes associated with the moving object, such as the trajectory characteristics, geographic location, date, time, equipment used, user identification, and so forth, to a wireless access point (105) of a computer network.
