ABSTRACT:
A golf information and management system utilizing the Global Positioning System, a satellite based, radio navigation system where clocks signals are transmitted. This satellite system provides at least four satellites (2) "in view" at all time. A golf cart (12) or player receives the signals from the four satellites, compares the clocked signals and an on-board computer reads the clocked signals and determines the position, in three dimension, of the receivers (velocity of the receivers is also available). There is a fixed base location (8) on the golf course that also receives the satellite signals and transmits a differential correction signal, via another channel, to the golf cart or player, where the computer determines the position of the cart or player to within a yard. The computer may be pre-loaded with golf course information, such as pin position, hazard positions, etc., where the computer via a graphical display (18) communicates to the player exact distances to the pre-loaded known physical features of the golf course, and displays information needed by the player to determine his next shot, including a video presentation of a golf pro's suggestions. In addition, the cart may communicate with the base station where the base station can track each cart or player on the course. With such information, detecting slow players to allow better course management, and also allows the base station to output information to a cart to show the players ahead so as not to hit into other groups and to send messages to carts to urge faster play to send out other type messages.
