Claim Text:
1. A remote golf club swinging method comprising: receiving, by a processor executing in a memory of a computer and coupled to a robotic golf club swing fixture, from a remote operator over a computer communications network a set of swing parameters including direction and shot shape defining different aspects of a golf club swing in response to the remote operator setting the set of swing parameters in a graphical user interface (GUI) in a web browser on a computing device remotely disposed from the robotic golf club swing fixture, where shot shape indicates a shape of a shot of a golf ball in reference to golf ball flight upon a golf club making contact with the golf ball; directing, by the processor, a plurality of robotic arms of the robotic golf club swing fixture to swing a coupled golf club resulting in the remote operator remotely causing the robotic golf club swing fixture to swing the coupled golf club according to the set of swing parameters set via the GUI, wherein directing the plurality of robotic arms comprises transforming, by the processor, the received set of swing parameters to a data string; sensing, by the processor, a result of the swinging of the coupled golf club; and, transmitting, by the processor, data derived from the sensed result to the remote operator for display in the web browser on the computing device over the computer communications network, wherein the result is a sensed performance of the golf club.
