ABSTRACT:
A monitoring device, which indicates the position a golfer must be on the golf course in order to complete the course in a specified period of time. The progress monitor operates on the basis of its electronic memory being loaded with parameters governing the amount of time to be allocated, or apportioned, to any number of different facets of play, or to any number of different holes or to the course as a whole. Such parameters may be fixed amounts of time or percentages of some other factor, such as the total time for the round. Based on these parameters, the progress monitor uses either a continuously moving display or a series of displayed notices on a panel such as an LCD screen, or as a graphic display, or a spoken message to show a golfer where he or she should be on the course at any point in time if the golfer is to complete the round within the designated target time. The progress monitor provides for the golfer to nominate any hole as the starting point. The progress monitor also allows the golfer at any time to indicate the actual position they have reached on the golf course. Given such an indication, the progress monitor automatically recalibrates the progress monitor so that the display correctly shows the increased or decreased rate at which the golfer must move to still complete the round in the target time.
