ABSTRACT:
A golfing apparatus includes a speed measuring mechanism, a saturation detector, either an acoustic trigger or an optical trigger, a correlator and a display. The speed measuring mechanism has a boresight disposed at an angle with respect to level ground so that it can be aimed at the golf ball while in flight. Either the acoustic trigger or the optical trigger generates a trigger signal in response to either the sound or the sight of the struck golf ball. The saturation detector detects movement of either a club head or the struck golf ball and provides an indication signal that there is a STRONG SIGNAL condition. The trigger signal and the indication signal are ANDED together in order to turn on the speed measuring mechanism to allow the measurement of the speed of the golf ball. The speed measuring mechanism measures the component of the speed of the golf ball which is parallel to the boresight. The correlator correlates the measured component of the speed of the golf ball for each club with a carry distance of the struck golf ball.
