Abstract

PURPOSE: To facilitate the execution of golf competitions between remote places by coupling plural terminal machines for simulations for golf and a host computer and executing the simulation of various kinds of golf competitions. CONSTITUTION: The many terminal simulations 2a to 2x are connected to the host computer 1. Image receivers 3 and respective sensors 4 to 6 are disposed in the respective simulations 2. When a player hits a ball 7 with a club, the respective sensors 4 to 6 detect the direction, height and initial velocity of the ball 7, calculate these and display numerical values 8 on the screens 9 of the image receivers 3. The positions of the ball 7 are then displayed at the prescribed value of a course 10. The player, then, hits the second ball and successively progresses the ball in the same manner. The scores are thereafter arranged (for example, calculated by every one hole), by which not only the scores of every member of the respective simulations but also the totalized scores of the respective simulations are easily calculated and reported (image receiver).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf competition system between remote locations for the purpose of playing various golf competitions through the cooperative use of terminal simulations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A golf simulation is currently installed in a golf driving range or the like, and the practitioner has a characteristic of playing with the same feeling as when practicing on a golf course.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional simulation, the parameters at the time of hitting a ball are detected and the flight distance, direction, height, etc. of the ball are displayed on the course screen, and the player also goes out to practice. You can get the feeling like this, but it's just an independent training machine and you can't play various competitions (eg competitions). Therefore, there was a problem that golf competitions and competitions could not be conducted between remote areas.

[0004]

According to the present invention, however, various simulations are carried out by using each simulation as a terminal and by providing a host computer to calculate each input and output it to the receiver of each simulation. He made it possible to do it without hesitation.

That is, according to the present invention, a plurality of golf simulation terminals are combined with a host computer that calculates inputs from the terminals and provides necessary outputs to the terminals, thereby performing simulations of various golf competitions. Is a golf competition system between remote areas.
Another invention is that each terminal is provided with a ball flight distance, a ball direction, and a golf course display device, and various golf competitions include junior competitions, professional golf competitions, ladies competitions, senior ladies competitions, It was a pair match, a senior competition, an amateur professional competition, a tournament, various charity tournaments, a near pin contest, a driving contest, and a hole-in-one competition.

In the golf course of the present invention, various famous courses can be recorded and used, or a course in a temporary room can be set to set wind and rain.

According to the present invention, the course can be selected in accordance with the skill of the play participant by the cooperation of the terminal simulation and the selection of the arbitrary course (inputted course).

However, since the golf course is provided by the software of the host computer, it is possible to enjoy playing under the same conditions even at a plurality of remote locations. The play may be match play or stroke play, and orbits, penalties and other rolls can be granted in the same way as in the actual course.

Further, not only in remote areas but also in Tokyo area, for example, it is possible to have a competition for each ward, then a competition for each area, and then a nationwide competition.

A known device may be used for the above-mentioned simulation, or a newly manufactured device may be used.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the terminal simulation connected to the host computer can be played by any number of people, so that it can be played without any trouble even if the scale is considerably large. Since wind and rain can be set in the simulation, various conditions can be set and a desired course can be freely selected according to an actual example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, a host computer 1 is equipped with terminal simulations 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f.
... Connect 2x. For each simulation 2 (without a, b ... in all cases), a receiver 3, sensor 4,
There are 5 and 6 (direction and speed are at the same place). When a person playing the ball hits the ball 7 with a club as in the case of ordinary practice, the sensors 4, 5 and 6 detect the direction, height and initial velocity of the ball 7 and calculate the calculated values to obtain a receiver. The numerical value 8 is displayed on the screen 9 of 3, and the position of the ball 7 is displayed on the predetermined value of the course 10. Then, the ball is successively advanced in the same manner as the second shot. It is possible to continue playing with one group of four per simulation, or one for each simulation (match play).
You can continue playing as. By summarizing the results (for example, calculation for each hole), it is possible to easily calculate and report (image receiver) not only for each simulation member but also for each simulation.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] That is, according to the present invention, one host computer and a plurality of terminal simulations allow golf competitions, tournaments, and other golf plays to be played at the same time, and the user can participate anywhere in the simulation. is there.

According to the present invention, not only can the golf course be freely selected, but there are various effects such that the golf course is not affected by the weather and the player can play without trouble even at night.
