Abstract:
A golf game analysis system comprising:a scoring booklet for a golf course with at least a two dimensional image of each hole which accurately displays, without significant perspective distortion, sufficient landmarks visible to a golfer on the golf course so that the resting position of golf shot on the course can be accurately marked on the image; a computer interface capable of displaying a computer image which corresponds visually with the image on said scoring booklet; an underlying x, y grid system related to said computer image so that every position on the computer image has a corresponding and unique coordinate value; at least one image overlay which relates logical features of a golf course as displayed on the computer image to the true physical feature of the golf course, including an overlay that determines whether or not the logical position of the golf shot is physically on the fairway; a pointing device for selecting a location on said computer image on said computer interface; pointing event translation means for translating a selected location into a corresponding x, y value and storing the corresponding values in a database; and said database storing information for points on said computer image, about the corresponding position of the golf shot on said golf course, and storing said information keyed to a unique identifier to relate said information so stored to an individual golfer.
