Images for selecting golf clubs

Abstract

This image is used in software to support a round of golf, helping players consider club selection. It is displayed overlaid on aerial photographs or illustrations of the golf course. Blue dots indicate the ball position, and green dots enclosed in circles indicate the predicted landing point when hit with a specific club. The predicted landing point can be set to the ball's carry or to the final stopping point after the ball rolls (total). Selecting a club through the club selection box displays the predicted landing point for that club. Clubs are listed in order of distance within the selection box, and players can scroll up and down to select a club. The selected club is displayed in the center of the box, within a green frame. Club distances can be set according to the player's skill level. By manipulating the image near the predicted landing point using flicking or dragging, the landing point can be moved along a guide (see Figure 2). In other words, the predicted landing point can be moved left or right while maintaining the same distance. The distance from the ball position to the predicted landing spot and the distance from the predicted landing spot to the cup are displayed. However, since the distance changes depending on the club selected, changing the club will change the position of the predicted landing spot, the distance from the ball position to the predicted landing spot, and the distance from the predicted landing spot to the cup. Also, moving the predicted landing spot left or right will change the distance from the predicted landing spot to the cup. If you select a club with a shorter distance than the club selected in Figures 1 and 2, it will change as shown in Figure 3. Conversely, if you select a club with a longer distance, the distance from the ball position to the predicted landing spot will increase. Even if the distance changes as shown in Figure 3, you can move the predicted landing spot left or right while maintaining the distance, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The reference image shows an example of applying this image to a smartphone app, and it is a screen for considering club selection on a certain course. If you select a 4U (4-iron utility) club, the predicted landing spot is displayed as 220 yards away (Reference Image 1). The club's distance can be set according to the player's ability.The remaining distance from the predicted landing point to the cup is 127 yards. Swiping the image near the predicted landing point to the left will move the predicted landing point to the left along the guide (see reference image 2). Swiping to the right will move the predicted landing point to the right along the guide. If you select the 5U (5-iron utility) club, the distance will be shorter and the distance to the cup will be longer (see reference image 3). Similar to reference images 1 and 2, you can move the predicted landing point left or right while maintaining the distance.
