Method and apparatus for providing wind information

Abstract

The present system provides a sensor for determining and communicating wind speed and direction at a golf hole or golf driving range or any place golf is played or practiced, an indoor or outdoor location. In an embodiment, an anemometer is positioned on or near a flagstick and wirelessly transmits wind data to a receiving device accessible by a golfer. The apparatus may be configured as an attachment or integrated flagstick assembly, powered by a battery, solar charging, or both. In some embodiments, the apparatus incorporates position-determining technology to provide accurate location data of the wind device, and may further collect pace-of-play information. Data may be displayed on course-mounted units, golf cart mounted displays, on pull cart displays, handheld devices, or wearable devices, and can include real-time wind, flagstick position, and distance information.
