Claim 16:
17. An AI enabled golf course comprising:
a golf hole having a green, a tee box, and a hole with a flagstick positioned within the golf hole; and
a remote media system (RMS) located at the golf course having a golf hole, wherein the RMS includes:
an AI enabled camera configured to record a video of at least one golfer detected at the golf hole; and

wherein the RMS is in communication with a competition-based network media processor and services (CNMS) communicatively coupled to the RMS and located remote to the RMS, the CNMS including:
a network communication interface configured to initiate a record event request to activate the video recording, the record event request communicated to the RMS; and
a network media processor configured to receive a participation request of the AI enabled camera and to validate the record event request and process frames of the video recording using image processing;

an AI logic installed on the AI enabled camera or at the CNMS configured to detect a specific object or objects in the video of the at least one golfer;
a radar unit installed at the golf hole and configured to detect both static features of the golf course and movement and send radar data to at least one of the RMS and the CNMS; and
a digital media enabled destination configured to send the participation request to the CNMS to activate the video recording and receive an input from a user indicating an agreement to participate in a closest-to-the-pin competition for the golf hole prior to a start of the closest-to-the-pin competition;
wherein the CNMS is further configured to detect a successful attempt related to the closest-to-the-pin competition, the successful attempt including determining distance a golf ball associated with the at least one golfer is to the golf hole using at least one of the AI logic and the radar data and the image processing.
