ABSTRACT:
A golf game uses radio signals from golf balls to signal to a central computer for automatic score-keeping by the computer. Sensors in each hole also send signals to the computer on the completion of each hole play for each golfer. The golf balls are distinguishable by the computer according to their radio frequencies or digital or other signal processing and coding encoding. The golf balls transmit struck by special golf clubs which incorporate magnets; the balls include magnetic or other corresponding sensors. Each player, upon starting the game, inputs his/her name or initials which action identifies the specific ball he/she has been assigned use on the course. Scores are reported optionally at each hole, and a final score is reported by the computer at the conclusion of play.
