Abstract
Systems and methods providing statistical analytics of golf performance including text, tabular, graphic, and image-based outputs that include trends information for the golfer, all based upon actual golf play on course situations, wherein the golfer inputs shot data during play, without interrupting the flow of the game, and uploads the shot data for analytics and review online.
Claims20
A system for providing statistical analysis for golf performance of a user comprising:
- a portable input device constructed and configured to capture shot data, including GPS data, during the golf play of a golfer, the device further configured to transmit the shot data to a computer for review and analysis of the shot data;
- the portable input device comprising a graphical user interface configured to accept user inputs independent of the physical location of the user;
- the computer further including software operable for providing statistical analysis of the shot data;
- wherein the user inputs are a series of corresponding starting points and user-defined target areas;
- wherein each of the target areas not being a pinpoint target is created by a single input;
- and
- wherein the statistical analysis includes outputs relating to the golfer's golf performance over a predetermined period.
A method for providing statistical analysis of golf performance of a golfer comprising:
- the golfer inputting shot data through a graphic user interface, the shot data including corresponding coordinates for a series of shots including a start point and user-defined target areas throughout a course of play using a GPS-enabled input device;
- wherein each of the target areas not being a pinpoint target is created by a single input;
- the user uploading the shot data to a remote server computer;
- wherein the portable input device is configured to provide inputs and target areas independent of the physical location of a user;
- software operable on the computer performing statistical analysis of the shot data associated with the golfer;
- and
- the software providing analytics outputs to the user via a display having a second graphical user interface.
A method for providing statistical analytics of golf performance comprising:
- providing a GPS-operable device with a graphic user interface configured to accept inputs from a user relating to golf shot data during play on a course;
- uploading the golf shot data including GPS data and user-defined target areas to a computer having software for providing analysis of the data;
- wherein the portable input device is configured to provide inputs and non-pinpoint target areas independent of the physical location of a user;
- wherein each of the target areas is created by a single input;
- and
- providing outputs including analytics of the data, wherein the outputs are viewable by the user via a graphic user interface on a display, including text, tabular, graphic, and image-based outputs that include trends information for the golfer, all based upon actual golf play on course situations, wherein the golfer inputs shot data during play, without interrupting the flow of the game, and uploads the shot data for analytics and review online.
