Abstract
A hazard reporting system for a golf course includes a remote computing device and a portable device. The portable device includes a user interface, a communications interface configured to facilitate communications with the remote computing device, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive, via the user interface, a first user input selecting an option to a report a hazard on the golf course, receive, via the user interface, a second user input selecting a type of the hazard and transmit a signal to the remote computing device based on the first user input and the second user input. The remote computing device is configured to receive the signal from the portable device and acquire a location of the portable device on the golf course.

A hazard reporting system for a golf course, the hazard reporting system comprising:
- a remote computing device;
- and
- a portable device including:
- a user interface;
- a communications interface configured to facilitate communications with the remote computing device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive, via the user interface, a first user input selecting an option to a report a hazard on the golf course;
- receive, via the user interface, a second user input selecting a type of the hazard;
- and
- transmit a signal to the remote computing device based on the first user input and the second user input;
- wherein the remote computing device is configured to:
- receive the signal from the portable device;
- and
- acquire a location of the portable device on the golf course.
A hazard reporting system for a golf course, the hazard reporting system comprising:
- one or more processing circuits including one or more memory devices and 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:
- receive a first user input selecting an option to a report a hazard on the golf course from a portable device;
- receive a second user input selecting a type of the hazard from the portable device;
- acquire a location of the portable device;
- and
- at least one of:
- (a) provide a first notification to one or more golf course devices to confirm the hazard reported at the location of the portable device;
- or
- (b) provide a second notification to one or more golf course devices to address the hazard at the location.
A method comprising
- receiving, by one or more processing circuits, a first user input with a portable device selecting an option to a report a hazard on a golf course;
- receiving, by the one or more processing circuits, a second user input with the portable device selecting a type of the hazard;
- and
- acquiring, by the one or more processing circuits, a location of the portable device on the golf course in response to the first user input and the second user input.
