ABSTRACT:
A computer network extends around all the holes of a golf course including a series of interconnected display terminals that can display the real time scores of all players on the course at any time. They may also be equipped with printers for generating hard copies of scores. The terminals are provided with transceivers for two-way radio communication with transceivers in portable player's units carried by each of the players. Each player's unit is provided with a unique transmittable code signal that identifies the unit to the system. Before starting play, a player's identity and the code of the player's unit carried are registered in the system, as well as the team or foursome he is playing with. Before each stroke, a player actuates his unit, which sends a coded radio signal to the nearby terminal. The terminal identifies the player by the code, adds one stroke to his score, and transmits to all players on his team, through their player's units, an audible signal so that honest score keeping is insured. Audible or visible current scores may be transmitted to the player's units as well. To indicate to the computer network that play on a hole has been completed by a player, an electronic ball/cup sensor may be provided at each hole. Alternatively, the player at a terminal or via his player's unit may provide that signal before teeing off on the next hole.
