A putting aid device (704) and associated functionality are provided for on-course and routine practice session use. The device (704) can be attached to the putter via a mount (706). The mount (706) is positioned near the top end of the putter. The device (704) uses an optical system, such as LiDAR or a camera of the device (704), to monitor movement of the face (712) and a golf ball. A user (700) holds the putter in a position to address the golf ball (703) on a putting surface (701). The device (704) may provide information to users concerning properly addressing the ball, assisting in aiming the ball towards a target and judging the proper putting force, recording results of putts, providing analytics in relation to attempted putts, and other information to assist a user in attempting a putt, analyzing putting performance, and improving putting skills.

A golf tournament management system configured to use course simulated and historical data to give insight and guidance for the setup of a golf course for a competitive play event. A visualization system generates graphical display data that when rendered in a user interface provides a plurality of course visualizations. A course variable specification unit includes course setup features enabling users to interact with the user interface and input or cause to be ingested course variables comprising tee and pin placements, environmental variables, and player characteristics. A simulation engine performs simulation modeling and outputs predicted player performance using the input or ingested course variables.

Systems and methods for golf analysis including a tag coupled to a golf club providing statistical analytics for coaching including text, tabular, graphic, and image-based outputs that include trends information for the golfer, all based upon actual golf play on course situations, wherein the golfer inputs shot data during play, without interrupting the flow of the game, and uploads the shot data for analytics and review online, and wherein all information related to a given user are reviewable by an authorized coach user through a web-based coach access account. The system is further operable to provide the coach user rights for providing corrective or instructive feedback to the user, including visual recommendations such as modified target areas.

The management server executes a dispatching processing for the user. The management server comprises a communication unit that receives at least one of the departure place and the destination from the user, a control unit that sets the boarding place and disembarking place of the vehicle assigned to the user based on at least one of the received departure place and destination, and a communication unit that outputs the boarding place and disembarking place to the user. The control unit sets at least one of a first exercise section, in which the user moves while doing exercise with the boarding place as an end point, and a second exercise section, in which the user moves while doing exercise with the disembarking place as a start point, based on movement information related to the user.

Provided is a smart golf bag system. The system includes a computing device coupled to a bag and a server coupled to the computing device. The system may include a sensor system coupled to the bag, wherein the sensor system communicates with the computing device. The system tracks golfer data, such as distance hit with each club used in a round of golf, the weather, time of day and the like. The data is stored and aggregated in the server and may be analyzed to suggest clubs based on the distance to the hole, etc.

Proposed herein are an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green and a method for providing terrain information on a green. According to one embodiment, there is proposed an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the apparatus including: a simulation processor configured to display a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and a guide processor configured to display a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green.

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a memory, a communication circuit, a sensor module, an output module, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting movement of a user corresponding to real-time performance of an exercise by the user, detecting environmental information for an environment in which the exercise is performed, outputting, through an output module, a user interface (UI) including guidance for the performance of the exercise, based on one or more of a historic exercise record for a past exercise event performed at the environment in which the exercise is performed, a stored profile of the user, and the detected movement of the user corresponding to the real-time performance of the exercise.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for making a weather-based club recommendation.
