The present disclosure is directed to a golfing accessory for the game of golf. In particular, a golfing accessory has a ball marker and a holder for the ball marker. The ball marker may be provided with various attention grabbing devices which enable the ball marker to be more easily located in low-light or other difficult conditions.

A golf hole marker, having a self-righting structure, includes a base, a weighting material received in the base, a telescopic pole and a flag. The base includes a top shell and a bottom shell. The bottom shell is substantially spherically curved and receives the weighting material therein. The top shell has a passage to receive a bottom portion of the pole and a protuberance to press down the weighting material for preventing the weighting material from moving within the bottom shell. The weighting material lowers a center of mass of the golf hole marker lower than a center of the spherically curved bottom shell. Preferably, the base is in the shape of a golf ball.

An information providing system includes one or more processors and a memory that stores one or more programs executed by the one or more processors. The one or more programs cause the one or more processors to execute obtaining, for a golf course including greens, position data indicating a position of each of players playing golf on each of the greens, storing the position data in the memory, estimating, from the position data stored in the memory, a cup position on a corresponding one of the greens, and providing the estimated cup position to a user of the golf course.

An apparatus for selectively attaching and removing a golf towel from a golf bag, golf club, or other metal surface comprises a magnetic holder that can be inserted through an aperture formed in a golf towel or other similar object. The magnetic holder comprises a multi-part body with a threaded portion that connects two body portions where the threaded portion is configured be inserted through the aperture and secured in place via matching threads. The magnetic holder further comprises one or more ball marking devices that are magnetically attached to the magnetic holder, where the ball marking devices can be selectively detached from the magnetic holder and used to mark a desired golf ball location.

There is set forth herein one or more feature for providing illuminated golf. The one or more feature can comprise e.g., a golf cup apparatus having a light source bank, a golf flag apparatus having a light source bank, a wearable apparatus having a light source bank, an illumination providing golf ball and an apparatus for charging a golf ball having a light source bank.

A golf green is enhanced by sliding a spacer tube and bell onto and circumscribing a flag pole. The spacer tube upper end suspends the bell above the golf green, defining a gap smaller than golf ball diameter. The bell rings when struck by the golf ball. The spacer tube and flag pole reliably locate the bell relative to the green. In some embodiments, the bell is positioned relative to a cup within the hole in the green, while in other embodiments the bell is positioned relative to the green surface. A method of installing a golf bell onto a flag pole having a flag includes disabling a flag on the flag pole, such as by removal of the flag from the pole, slipping a spacer tube about and down the flag pole, followed by a bell until the bell rests on the spacer tube. The flag is subsequently re-enabled.

The present disclosure provides a putting guide system including at least one projector installed in an upper portion of a putting room including a floor surface composed of a putting field and capable of projecting an image onto the putting field, a camera located in the upper portion of the putting room near the at least one projector to capture an image of the putting field, a control module for providing physical property information of a putting environment based on the image provided from the camera to be analyzed and for controlling the projector, a server connected to the control module by wire/wireless to analyze a putting result and statistics and providing the analyzed result to a user terminal, and a user terminal for controlling the control module through a putting interface received from the server to perform a putting training program.
