Abstract
A system for golf data collection comprises an apparatus arranged to be worn about the body of a golfer during a game of golf. The apparatus includes a positioning system for determining various locations of a golfer during the game, a tag reader for reading a club held in close proximity to the apparatus around the time of striking a golf ball, and a processor for correlating the location of the golfer with the time at which a tag is read to enable the path of a golf ball throughout the game of golf to be determined.
Claims18
A system for golf data collection, comprising:
- an apparatus arranged to be worn about the body of a golfer during a game of golf, the apparatus including:
- a positioning system for determining various locations of the golfer during said game;
- a passive tag reader for reading a club tag only when held in close proximity to the apparatus around a time of striking a golf ball, the passive tag reader operating at a frequency of between 100 KHz and 150 KHz;
- and
- a processor for correlating a location of the golfer with a time at which the club tag is read to enable striking and resting locations of the golf ball throughout said game of golf to be determined.
A system for data collection, comprising:
- an apparatus arranged to be worn about the body of a player practicing a game, the apparatus including:
- a positioning system for determining a location of the player during said practice;
- a passive tag reader for reading a club tag only when held in close proximity to the apparatus around a time of recovering each of a number of balls struck by the player from a first striking location, the passive tag reader operating at a frequency of between 100 KHz and 150 KHz;
- and
- a processor for correlating the location of the player with a time at which the club tag is read to enable resting locations of said balls struck from said first striking location to be determined.
