Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, while each of these technologies is particularly well-suited to tracking specific parameters of a golf swing or golf path, none of them can continuously track and provide golfers with a comprehensive view of their swing and resulting golf shots

Embodiment Construction

[0011] figure 1 A golf driving range 10 is shown comprising at least one hitting tee 100 , at least one golf ball 110 , at least one golf club 120 and a driving range surface 200 . The hitting table 100 is located at one end of the driving range surface 200 . It will be appreciated that a player 300 standing in the hitting box 100 may swing the golf club 120 to hit the golf ball 100 onto the driving range surface 200 . go to figure 2 , which shows the path of golf ball 110 traveling from the point of impact with golf club 120 (referred to as launch point 160) to the point at which golf ball 110 initially impacts driving surface 200 (referred to as impact point 170). The path that golf ball 110 travels from launch point 160 to impact point 170 is referred to as flight path 130 . The path that golf ball 110 travels from impact point 170 to its point of rest on driving green surface 200 , referred to as rest point 180 , is referred to as ground path 140 . Total path 150 refe...

Abstract

A system and method for tracking the flight of golf balls at driving range. The system includes a plurality of hitting stations, a plurality of sensors, a computer, and a range surface. Each hitting station in the plurality of hitting stations includes a golf ball, a golf club, a monitor, and a sensor. At least one other sensor in the plurality of sensors is placed outside a hitting station. The flight path of the golf balls being calculated by the computer using parameters by the plurality of sensors. The method includes steps for determining whether a first sensor detected a first parameter and a second parameter, whether a second sensor detected a first and a second parameter, whether a third sensor detected a third parameter, and depicting the flight path of the golf balls using the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of tracking golf balls, and more particularly, but not in a limiting manner, to the use of a plurality of sensors to assist in delineating that path on a display. Background technique [0002] Since its invention centuries ago, the game of golf remains a popular hobby and pastime. Golf's popularity stems in part from the pursuit of mastery of its various skills. Improving these skills requires frequent and constant practice. A golf driving range is a common place for such practice. At a typical golf driving range, golfers are able to practice their swing. More recently, businesses have begun opening more advanced driving ranges designed to meet golfers' needs for other forms of entertainment and recreation. Such facilities include not only a typical golf driving range, but also restaurants, bars, and other entertainment options that golfers can choose from to supplement their practice sessions. ...
