Abstract

PURPOSE:To precisely confirm a shot ball position by receiving the transmitted signal from a transmitter buried in a golf ball by a receiving device loaded on a caddy car, thereby specifying the transmitted signal, and projecting the shot position of the golf ball on an arithmetic monitor device. CONSTITUTION:Each antenna 2 for signal receipt is set on both rear sides of a start position 1. On the other hand, each transmitted signal from each golf ball A-C driven by a plurality of players is received by each antenna 2. Each receipt signal is transmitted to an arithmetic monitor 4 loaded on a caddy car 3, each transmitted signal is specified to calculate the respective transmitted position, and the shot position of each golf ball A-C is projected on the arithmetic monitor 4. Thus, a caddy can confirm the position of each golf ball A-C only by watching the arithmetic monitor 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for confirming the position of a hit ball on a golf course.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is sometimes very difficult for a player to confirm the position of a hit ball on a golf course.

The confirmation of the ball is performed by the feeling of the caddy attached to the player and the visual observation, and it takes time to find out when the ball is hit roughly.
It may affect the progress of the game.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a system which allows a player to easily confirm the position of a hit ball.

[0005]

The object of the present invention can be achieved by a golf ball confirmation system provided with a receiving device for receiving a signal from a hit ball and a position confirmation monitor device connected to the receiving device.

The signal from the hit ball has such a magnitude that the function of the ball itself embedded in the core is not lost.
A signal from a transmitter having a weight is used.

Further, as a receiving device, two or more antennas are installed at a position where reception is most convenient in the course, and the position is confirmed by a monitor device which calculates a received signal at each antenna.

It is also possible to confirm the hit ball of each player by recognizing the wavelength and other characteristics of the transmitted signal in the monitor device and carrying the monitor device with a caddy attached to each player.

[0009]

The ball hitting can be tracked and confirmed by receiving the signal emitted by the ball itself, so that the position of the ball is not lost.

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 shows an example of a golf ball confirmation system of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a start position, and two antennas 2 for receiving signals are installed on both sides behind the start position. Reference symbols A, B, and C respectively represent the hit balls of each player. The signals transmitted from the hit balls A, B, and C of each player are received by the respective antennas 2, and the signals received by the respective antennas are further received by the caddy car. It is transmitted to the calculation monitor 4 mounted on the No. 3 and each specific signal is received, the transmission position of each signal is calculated, the position of each hit ball A, B, C is projected on the monitor, and the caddy is displayed. Can recognize the position of each ball just by recognizing this.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a golf ball used in this system.

As shown in the figure, the core of the ball 5 is
The transmitter base 7 is provided together with the button battery 6, and when the ball is hit, a signal transmission function is activated by the impulse sensor, and a specific signal is transmitted from the antenna 8 provided on the outer surface thereof. It has become.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) It is not necessary to confirm the position of the hit ball by intuition and visual observation of the caddy, and the monitor device mounted on the cart enables accurate position confirmation, so that the need for the caddy is reduced.

(2) It is difficult to confirm the position of the ball. Even when the ball enters the grass or the forest, the time for finding the position of the ball can be shortened.

(3) It may be difficult to judge whether the hit ball is OB or safe on a course with a bent tip (dog trek) or a course in which the ball drop point cannot be visually observed from the place where the ball is hit. It can be determined by the invention.

(4) By displaying the distance from the position of the ball to the center point of the glee on the calculation monitor, the player can easily select the club.
