  • Abstract
    Our system provides 4 essential functions on the golf courses. First, using real time GPS satellite information, it will tell you how far away from the center of green the players are at any given moment by audible sound. Second, it replaces the player´s paper scorecard with an easy to use electronic version. Third, it can track each on a given round, for later statistical analysis. Lastly it can give players live data such as the longest drive distance, average drive distance, the total scores, and many other interesting facts. Our system gives the player an eagle´s eye view of the hole to provide the information the player need to play a game confidently and to get lower scores. All the information you need is presented clearly on a brilliant white OLED display, powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed to last up to 14 hours on a single solar cell charge.
