A method of predicting the likelihood of a post T-off golf swing or consecutive swings resulting in a ball being sunk in a hole; the method utilising communication equipped cameras or communication equipped laser rangefinders at known locations to determine accurate ball lie information. Transmission of this location information in real time to a processing facility linked to a database of historical play information incorporating at least ball position information and golf course in order to calculate odds of success of the upcoming swing and/or subsequent swings.

A method includes receiving information related to a first user. The method further includes instructing a first display to display an image related to the first user to a second user based on the received information. The method further includes generating an image of a virtual object. The method further includes instructing a second display to display an image of the virtual object. The method further includes detecting movement of the second user. The method further includes determining a velocity of the virtual object in response to a determination that the second user contacts the virtual object based on the detected movement of the second user. The method further includes generating a moving image of the virtual object based on the determined velocity of the virtual object. The method further includes instructing the second display to display the moving image of the virtual object.
