ABSTRACT:
A scoring system for use on a golf course hole having a tee and a pin for ranking measured distances from a golf ball for each of several golfers playing the hole. The scoring system includes a transmitting station having an input device for entering a distance, for each golfer, from the corresponding golf ball to a particular location on the hole and a receiving station located adjacent the tee having a display device. The most favorable distance along with the name of the corresponding golfer is transmitted from the transmitting station and displayed on said display device. A method for ranking measured distances from a golf ball for each of several golfers playing a hole having a tee and a pin is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of determining a distance from a driven golf ball to a particular location, entering the distance and the name of the golfer into an input device of a transmitting station, transmitting distance and golfer information to a receiving/displaying station located adjacent the tee. The most favorable distance along with the golfer is displayed on the receiving/displaying station. The steps are repeated for each golfer so that the most favorable distance is updated following each drive.
