Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention centrally monitors the playing progress of each group of players scattered around the golf course at a central monitoring center in the clubhouse. Concerning a central playing monitoring system that has been made possible.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, at golf courses, starting times are scheduled in advance so that each group of players starts at predetermined time intervals, regardless of the presence or absence of caddies, in order to facilitate play. However, the current situation is that the progress of play after the start is entirely left to the control of the players in that group or the caddies attached to that group, and in particular the progress of play of each group of players who are scattered around each hole. We do not manage the progress of play by understanding the current situation, but only adjust the start time of the later Vt & Il depending on the progress of the start at the starting hole.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, as described above, the conventional management system in which the progress of play is managed by only understanding the start progress at the start hole location has the following problems. In other words, if the players in each starting group are playing at approximately the same level of progress, there will be no problem, but if some groups play slowly after the start, the overall flow will be disrupted and the subsequent players will There are situations where the start time of the group is delayed, or play is stopped midway through a hole and players have to wait until the previous hole becomes empty. In this case, if a caddy is present, the caddy can alert the players in that group to speed up play, but if a caddy is not present, the golf course cannot alert the players. For this reason, the golf course cannot smoothly operate and manage the progress of play.

This invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to monitor the progress of play of each group of players who are playing on each hole at a central monitoring center in the clubhouse such as the caddy master's room. A new and unprecedented type of golf that facilitates operational management by centrally monitoring players in groups who are slow in playing, and encouraging players in groups who are playing slowly to progress by contacting them as needed. The objective is to provide a central playing monitoring system.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a mobile transponder that transmits an identification signal for each group carried by each group of players, a fixed transponder installed near the green for each hole, and a clubhouse. a receiver installed at a monitoring center within the area to receive an identification signal of a mobile transponder carried by a group passing the green caught by the fixed transponder, and a monitoring device therefor; A central playing monitoring system is configured to centrally monitor the playing progress of each group of players scattered on each hole in the golf course based on the identification signal.

[Effect]

In the above system, the mobile transponder is carried by each player or caddy for each group, e.g. for short-range transmission,
It is an IC card type device with a receiving function, and the identification information written on the mobile transponder is different for each set. When the players and caddies of each group reach the green of each hole, the mobile transponder wirelessly transmits its identification information in response to an inquiry command from the antenna of the fixed transponder installed near the green. The system catches the identification signal and sends it through a wired signal line to a receiver located within the central monitoring center. On the other hand, the monitoring device displays the hole number of each group of players passing through based on the identification signal of the mobile transponder transmitted from each hole.
Then, compare the normal play progress time calculated from the start time of the players in that group with the actual arrival time, etc. If there is a group where the play progress is particularly delayed, the number of holes passed by that group and the name of the player. .

Necessary information such as delay time is displayed on the display, as well as the results of adjustment of start times for subsequent start groups. In addition, the monitor can view this information and use other broadcasting equipment if necessary.

Alternatively, it is possible to urge the players in the group that is behind in progress to proceed with play by using other appropriate communication means, and to notify the change in the start time of the next Vt group based on the play progress status throughout the golf course.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the central playing monitoring system according to the present invention, in which 1 indicates the fairway of a hole at a golf course, 2 indicates the green, 3 indicates the central monitoring center in the clubhouse, and 4 indicates the area on the green. This is a player who is playing.

Here, a fixed transponder 5 equipped with an antenna is installed near the green 2 for each hole, and the fixed transponder 5 is connected to a receiver 7 installed in the central monitoring center 3 through a wired signal line 6. A monitoring device 8 with a built-in computer is connected to the receiver 7. Note that 9 is a microphone for broadcasting. On the other hand, each group of players 4 is given a portable mobile transponder 10 in advance before the start of the game. This mobile transponder 10 has short-range transmission and reception functions, such as an I.
It is a C-card type card, with a different identification signal for each group, and is carried by the player or caddy during play.

Next, the operation of the above system will be explained. When each group of players starts from the starting hole one after another and reaches the green 2 for each hole, the mobile transponder 10 transmits an identification signal wirelessly in response to an inquiry command radio wave transmitted from the fixed transponder 5 installed near the green. Send to.

This identification signal is then caught by the antenna of the fixed transponder 5, sent through the signal line 6 to the receiver 7 in the central monitoring center, and input into the monitoring device 8.

On the other hand, the monitoring device 8 collectively displays the play progress status, such as passing hole numbers, of each group playing scattered around each hole, based on the identification signal transmitted from the mobile transponder IO of each group. In addition, for each group, the normal play progress time to reach the hole calculated from the start time of that group is compared with the actual arrival time, and especially for groups whose play progress time exceeds the allowable time. The hole number and player name are shown on the display.

Necessary information such as delay time is immediately displayed, and the start time of the subsequent starting group is corrected based on the overall play progress and the results are displayed.

This allows the observer to monitor the progress of play on all holes of the golf course at once from the content of the information displayed on the monitoring device 8, and based on this information, the public address system or the above-mentioned transponder system can be used as necessary based on this information. Using appropriate communication means such as the above, it is possible to warn players in groups that are behind in progress to speed up play, and to notify players in subsequent groups of changes in the start time.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a mobile transponder that transmits an identification signal for each group is carried by each group of players, a fixed transponder installed near the green for each hole, and a monitoring center in the clubhouse. and a monitoring device for the mobile transponder, which is installed at the fixed transponder to receive the identification signal of the mobile transponder carried by the team passing the green caught by the fixed transponder, and a monitoring device for the mobile transponder. Based on this, a central playing monitoring system was configured to centrally monitor the playing progress of each group of players scattered on each hole in the golf course. Current passing hole No.
, the progress of play, etc. can be centrally monitored all at once, and based on this, necessary instructions can be given to the player, etc., thereby facilitating management of the progress of the entire golf game.
