That is, information on the time position of the assistant athlete can be included in the golf game from the first hole until the end of the golf game.

The position information of the golf player is received through the player terminal 100a and the position information of the race assistant is received through the assistant terminal 300. [

"Motion detection information" is information about the motion assistant's motion and information about the motion of the golf player. These pieces of information are received through the assistant terminal 300 and the player terminal 100a, respectively. The "motion detection information" includes information on the up and down movement of the assistant assistant and information on the waist movement and the up and down movement of the golf player.

"Green area partition information" is information about virtual partitioning of a predetermined number of areas. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the partitioned green region is a region within a radius N [m] around the cup (hereinafter referred to as "N region"), a radius N [m] (hereinafter referred to as " F region ") around the cup and a region with a radius of M [m] or more around the cup (hereinafter referred to as "F region" In this specification, each of the partitioned green regions, i.e., N region, M region, and F regions, is referred to as a "base region ".

The partitioned green area may be circular or elliptical, and may be appropriately shaped according to the shape of the green area. The partitioned green area is virtual and does not mean that the green is actually partitioned, but is virtually divided into several areas based on the position information of the green area. In other words, the "green area partition information" is information about virtual partitioning of the area beforehand into several areas. The "green region partition information" serves as a basis for judging which partition the ball at any position in the green region is included in. Meanwhile, a first default putting number is assigned to each of the base areas, and a first default putting number assigned to each of the base areas is included in the "green area partition information ". For example, the first default putting number of the F area is assigned to +3, the first default putting number of the M area is assigned to +2, the first default putting number of the N area is assigned to +1 . Such a default putting number is arbitrarily determined, and can be determined mainly by the game experience. The first default putting number of the F region is set to +3 by the experience that the putting shot would normally be needed three times because the F region is far from the cup. Of course, depending on the geographical characteristics and angles of the green area of the stadium, it may be set to +2 or +4.

The first default putting number of the M area is set to +2 by the experience that the putting shot would normally be needed twice because the M area is slightly away from the cup. Likewise, depending on the geographical characteristics and angles of the green area of the playing field, it may be determined differently.

The first default putting number of the N area is set to +1 by the experience that the putting shot will be needed about one time since the N area is close to the cup. Likewise, depending on the geographical characteristics and angles of the green area of the playing field, it may be determined differently.

In the above-described embodiment, three base regions are provided, alternatively, two or four or more base regions can be set, and a first defolting putting number according to the characteristics of the green region in each base region is set to You will be able to assign it.

 As used herein, the term "green region" means an area where putting is possible, and generally refers to an area where the cup is located.

"Competition information" means competitor's competition information. For example, the name of the player, the number of holes (for example, 9 holes, 19 holes, 27 holes, or 36 holes ...), the time of the competition, the sex of the player, have.

 The "hole information" is information on the position of the playing hall. For example, "hole information" may include position information (e.g., may be position coordinates) for all positions of each hole. For example, it may be position information for the driver shot area, position information for the fairway area, and position information for the green area.

The "cumulative number of balls" is the information of the player's golf shot, and is information on the cumulative number of balls by each player, each hole, and cumulative number of balls up to the current hole.

 The "sound detection information" is information on the shot estimation sound detected by the player terminal 100a. The "shot estimated sound" may be, for example, a sound that occurs when a golf club hit the ball and may be a sound such as "OK" or "nice putting"

The storage unit 511 according to an embodiment of the present invention may additionally store motion reference information and sound reference information. The motion reference information is detected as shot motion data when there is a waist motion as a kind of sample data, and sound reference information is sound data generated when a shot occurs as a kind of sample data.

For example, the motion reference information is sample data accumulated through several shot operations, and may be female or male shot motion data, or age-specific shot motion data. The motion reference information may be a plurality of shot motion data, and may be shot motion data obtained by artificially performing a shot operation. Alternatively, the motion reference information may be the accumulated information of the actual player's shot motion data.

The motion reference information may be divided into, for example, driver shot motion data, or payout shot motion data, or putting shot motion data.

The sound reference information is sample data accumulated through several shot operations, and may be female or male shot sound data, and may be age shot sound data. The sound reference information may be a plurality of shot sound data, or may be shot sound data acquired by artificially performing a shot operation. Alternatively, the sound reference information may be the accumulated information of the actual player's shot sound data.

The sound reference information may be stored separately, for example, by driver shot sound data or fairway shot sound data or putting shot sound data.

The controller 505 according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine a player's remaining distance, determine whether a drive shot has been made, and determine whether a fairway shot has been performed, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to determine if a putting shot has been made and to determine whether a new hole has been started.

As described above, the control unit can calculate the remaining distance by comparing the position of the current golf player with the pre-stored cup position. The control unit 505 can recognize the position of the current golf player through the information received in real time from the player terminal 100a or the "position information" stored in the storage unit, and the previously stored cup position is stored in the storage unit 511 It can be seen through stored hole information.

The controller 505 may determine whether the current position of the golf player is in the driver's shot area, whether there is a waist movement of the golf player, or whether there is a golf shot sound, etc. .

The controller 505 may use any one of the following methods, or a combination thereof, when determining the driver shot coefficient condition.

Whether there is a driver shot estimation motion can be determined by comparing the motion detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with the previously stored motion reference information.

Thirdly, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines that the driver's shot factor condition is satisfied if the golf player's current position is in the driver's shot area and the golf player has the driver's shot estimated sound, And registers the position of the driver's shot. Whether or not there is a driver shot estimation sound can be determined by comparing the sound detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with the previously stored sound reference information.

Fourth, if the current position of the golf player is in the driver's shot area, there is a driver shot estimation sound, and if there is a driver shot estimation motion of the golf player, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention sets the driver shot coefficient condition Is satisfied, and the driver shots are counted and the driver shot positions are registered.

The control unit 505 may use any one of the following methods or a combination thereof when determining the fairway shot coefficient condition.

First, when the current position of the golf player remains for a predetermined time in an arbitrary area of the fairway area and then goes out of the arbitrary area, the controller 505 determines that the fairway shot count condition is satisfied , The fairway shot may be counted and the remaining area for the predetermined time may be registered as the fairway shot position.

Secondly, if the current position of the golf player is in the fairway shot area and the golf player has a fairway shot estimation motion (for example, an operation of turning the waist), the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention sets the fairway shot coefficient condition And the fairway shot is counted and the fairway shot position is registered. Whether there is a fairway shot estimated motion can be determined by comparing the motion detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with the previously stored motion reference information. The control unit 505 examines whether or not the golf player has performed the operation of turning the waist at least twice through the motion detection information measured from the actual player's terminal 100a and has performed the operation of turning the waist more than once , The position where the waist rotation is performed is registered as the shot position and the fairway shot is counted.

Thirdly, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines that the current golf player's position is in the fairway area, and if the golf player has a fairway shot estimation sound, it is determined that the fairway shot coefficient condition is satisfied, And registers the fairway shot position. Whether there is a fairway shot estimation sound can be determined by comparing the sound detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with the previously stored sound reference information. Here, the registered fairway shot position is the position where the shot estimation sound is generated.

Fourth, if the current position of the golf player is in the fairway shot area, there is a fairway shot estimation sound, and if there is a fairway shot estimation motion of the golf player, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention sets the fairway shot coefficient condition And the fairway shot is counted and the fairway shot position is registered. Here, the registered fairway shot position is a position where the shot estimation motion and the shot estimation sound occur at the same time.

The control unit 505 may use any one of the following methods, or a combination thereof, when determining the putting shot coefficient condition.

First, the controller 505 according to an embodiment of the present invention determines that the position of the current golf player has stayed for a predetermined time in an arbitrary region of the green region and then goes out of the arbitrary region, satisfies the putting shot coefficient condition , The putting shot may be counted and the remaining area for the predetermined time may be registered as the putting shot position. If the golf player has stayed in an arbitrary area of the green area for a predetermined time and the assistant athlete has stayed in the arbitrary area for a predetermined time, the control unit 505 sets the position where the golf player and the assistant athlete have stayed for a predetermined time as a shot position Register and count the putting shots.

Second, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines whether the current position of the golf player is in the green region and the putting shot estimation motion (for example, the upward or downward movement motion or the waist rotation motion of the golf player) If there is an estimated motion (up / down motion of the assistant auger), it is determined that the putting shot count condition is satisfied, and the putting shot is counted and the putting shot position is registered. Whether the putting shot estimation motion or the putting shot assist estimation motion has occurred can be determined by comparing the motion detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a or the assistant terminal 300 with the previously stored motion reference information. The control unit 505 preferably determines whether the golf player has moved up and down through the motion detection information measured from the actual player's terminal 100a and whether the assistant auger has moved up and down, All of the up and down movements are registered as the putting shot position and the putting shot is counted.

Thirdly, the controller 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines that the current golf player's position is in the green region, and if the golf player has a putting shot estimation sound, the putting shot coefficient condition is satisfied, And registers the putting shot position. Whether there is a putting shot estimation sound can be determined by comparing the sound detection information measured from the actual player terminal 100a with the previously stored sound reference information. Here, the registered putting shot position is a position where the putting shot estimation sound is generated.

Fourthly, according to another embodiment of the present invention, if the current position of the golf player is in a green area, there is a putting shot estimation sound, and if there was a putter shot estimation motion of a golf player and a co- It is judged that the counting condition is satisfied, the putting shot is counted and the putting shot position is registered. Here, the registered putting shot position is a position where the putting shot estimation motion and the putting shot estimation sound occur simultaneously.

Fifth, the control unit 505 according to another embodiment of the present invention determines whether the putting shot coefficient condition is satisfied by comprehensively considering the green region segment information, the putting shot estimation sound, and the putting shot estimation motion. A method of using the green region segment information will be described in detail later with reference to the drawings (Figs. 13 to 20).

When the confirmation information is received from the assistant terminal 500, the control unit 505 completes the shot count and position registration in the hole. Preferably, the control unit 505 determines that the golf ball has moved to a new hole, and when the golf ball enters the new hole and performs driver shots, . Thereafter, the golf shot is counted and a position registration operation is performed on the new hole.

Motions such as "driver shot estimation motion", "fairway shot estimation motion", "putting shot estimation motion", "putting shot assist estimation motion", etc., as used herein, For example, the "driver shot estimation motion", "fairway shot estimation motion" and "putting shot estimation motion" may be rotation of the waist or sitting up and down motion, The motion of the assistant assistant in the up and down motion can be mentioned.

Also, as used herein, sounds such as "driver shot estimation sound", "fairway shot estimation sound", "putting shot estimation sound" and the like are used to mean sounds detected by the sound detection unit.

On the other hand, since it is calculated on the basis of the player's position information, whether the player is out of a specific area or entered into a specific area is calculated based on the positional information of the player. Likewise, the information about the area in which the assistant assistant is present in the area and the duration in which the assistant is staying is also conceptually separated from the putting shot assisted estimation motion.

6 is a flow chart for calculating a remaining distance according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the remaining distance to the cup can be calculated (S603) by comparing the position of the current golf player with the pre-stored cup position (S601), and the remaining distance to the calculated cup can be displayed in real time (S605).

The process of calculating the remaining distance may be calculated by the player terminal 100a or may be calculated by the management server 200. [ The remaining distance calculated by the management server 200 is transmitted to the player terminal 100a in real time. If it is calculated in the player terminal 100a, the calculated remaining distance may be optionally transmitted to the management server 200. [

The remaining distance calculated in step S605 is displayed in real time on the player terminal 100a, and may optionally be displayed on the assistant terminal 300 as well.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing a real time golf game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when a new hole is started, an initialization step is performed (S701). In the initialization step, the cumulative number of balls in the current hole displayed on the assistant terminal 300 is set to "0 ", and cumulative number of balls up to the previous hole is definitively stored.

The start of a new hall is started when there is an acknowledgment signal from the assistant terminal 300 or when the management server determines that it is a new hall.

The management server 200 can determine the current player's position based on the position calculation information received in real time through the player terminal 100a (S703). The management server 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may determine whether or not the current player is in the driver shot area, depending on whether the current player is male or female. Normally, the driver shot area used by men and the driver shot area used by women are different, and this is predetermined before the game. Accordingly, the management server 200 can discriminate whether the current player's position is in the driver's shot area by discriminating whether the player is male or female using the game information stored in the storage unit 511. [ The discrimination as to whether the player is male or female located in the driver area is possible because the player terminal is given a unique identifier and the competition information stored in the storage unit 511 stores such identifier for each player .

When the current player's position is in the driver's shot area, the management server 200 determines the number of shots and shot position by process 1 (process for determining whether or not the driver shot coefficient condition is satisfied) (S707), and the current player's If the position is in the fairway area, the process determines the number of shots and the shot position by process 2 (process for judging whether the fairway shot count condition is satisfied) (S709). If the current position of the player is in the green area, A determination process as to whether or not the putting shot coefficient condition is satisfied) is determined (S711).

The batting number accumulated by the management server 200 is displayed on the assistant terminal 300 and may optionally be displayed on the player terminal 100a (S713). The batting number displayed here may be at least one of a cumulative number of balls in the current hole or a cumulative total number of balls up to the previous hole.

If the modification command is input through the assistant terminal 300 (S715: YES), the assistant terminal 300 re-displays the number of the mate according to the modification command, and transmits the modification command to the management server 200. [ The management server (200) corrects the accumulated number of bills in accordance with the correction command. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a correction command for decrementing cumulative number of strokes is input, the management server 200 increments the cumulative number of strokes and cancels the position registered with the last putting shot. If a correction command for incrementing the cumulative number of strokes is input, the management server 200 can increment the cumulative number of strokes and arbitrarily add the putting shot position.

When the confirmation command (or the "confirmation signal") is input through the assistant terminal 300 (S715: YES), the assistant terminal 300 displays the accumulated number display portion in the current hall as "0" , And the accumulative number display section up to the previous hall accumulates and displays all of the number of ratios shot so far. Then, the assistant terminal 300 transmits a confirmation command to the management server 200, completes the number accumulation and location registration in the corresponding hall of the management server 200, and performs the initialization operation.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for real time golf competition management according to another embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 8 is a method similar to FIG. 7, except that it additionally has step S825, which is different from FIG. That is, there is a difference in that an operation of correcting and confirming (S817) can be performed only when the management server 200 necessarily completes the P3 process (that is, when all the putting shot coefficient conditions have been completed).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining whether a drive shot and a shot position are determined according to an embodiment of the present invention.

9, the process of executing the drive shot count condition is shown. Only when the management server 200 remains in the driver area for a predetermined period of time (D_Time) (S901: YES) And the driver shots are counted (S903). Here, the predetermined time D_Time can be determined in consideration of, for example, the time required for the driver's shot and the time required for the preliminary operation (preliminary swing) for the driver's shot. For example, the predetermined time D_Time may be 3 seconds or more.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining whether a drive shot and a shot position are determined according to another embodiment of the present invention.

10, when the management server 200 remains in the driver area for a predetermined time (D_Time) (S1001: YES) and there is also a driver shot estimation motion (movement of the waist, for example) The player's position in the driver area is registered as the driver's shot position, and the driver's shot is counted (S1005).

For example, the management server 200 may remain in the driver area for a predetermined period of time (D_Time), have a driver shot estimation motion (for example, movement of the waist) , And if there is a driver shot estimation sound, the position where the player was present when there is the driver shot estimation motion is registered as the driver shot position and the driver shot is counted (S1005).

In another modification, for example, the management server 200 may remain in the driver area for a predetermined time (D_Time), and if there is a driver shot estimation sound, And the driver shots are counted (S1005).

In another modification, for example, the management server 200 may determine whether there is a driver shot estimation sound or a driver shot estimation motion, that is, when there is a driver shot estimation sound, The player's position is registered as the driver's shot position and the driver's shot is counted (S1005).

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining whether a fairway shot and a shot position are determined according to an embodiment of the present invention.

11, when the management server 200 remains in the fairway area for a predetermined time (F_Time) (S1101: YES) and there is also a fairway shot estimation motion (for example, movement of the waist) (S1203: YES) A position having the fairway shot estimation motion is registered as the fairway shot position, and the fairway shot is counted (S1105).

Here, "F_Time" can be empirically determined as a necessary time required for the fairway shot in the fairway area, and may be set to, for example, 5 seconds or more.

A variation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 11 is possible where there is a fairway shot estimation motion, staying for a predetermined time F_Time in the fairway area, and there is a fairway shot estimation sound, The player's position at the time of the presence of the player's guess sound or the fairway shot estimation sound is registered as the fairway shot position, and the fairway shot is counted.

In another modification, the player may stay in the fairway area for a predetermined time (F_Time), and if the fairway shot estimation sound is present, register the player's position when the player has stayed for a predetermined time or when there is a fairway shot estimation sound, Count fairway shots.

In another variation, if there is a fairway shot estimation sound in the fairway area, the player's position when the fairway shot estimation sound is present is registered as the fairway shot position, and the fairway shot is counted.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining whether a fairway shot and a shot position are determined according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 12, the difference is in the case where the player's position is included in the obi or the deficit box area (S1207), and the addition of a penalty of +2 or +1 (S1209) is performed. If there is a fairway shot estimation sound or a fairway shot estimation motion, the management server 200 knows the position of the hedge box (included in the hole information) Add a +1 penalty when counting. A similar process would be possible for obi. However, the obi box will be able to count automatically (+2) only on a separate golf course like a hedge box.

13 is a flow chart illustrating a method for determining whether to putting and putting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 13 is based on the above-described example in which there are three divided green regions (F region, M region and N region), and the first default putting shots for them are +3, +2, And +1, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 13, when it is determined that the player is in the green area, the management server 200 determines in step S1303 whether the first putting position belongs to which of the green areas previously partitioned by the process P4. Process P4 is a process of determining a first putting position and determining to which base areas the determined first putting position belongs, and will be described later in detail with reference to Figs. 16 and 17. Fig.

After determining that the first putting position belongs to which base area, the management server 200 determines the second putting expectation areas based on the base area and the first putting position to which the first putting position belongs (S1311 to S1311) S1313, S1321 to S1323), it is determined which of the second putting expectation areas the second putting position is located in (S1315, S1325), and the second putting predicted area having the second putting position The default putting number is determined as the total putting number (S1317, S1327). On the other hand, when the first putting position is the N region, the management server 200 determines the total putting shot as +1 (S1331 to S1333).

S1313 and S1323 are determined by the process P5, and the process P5 is described later in detail with reference to Figs. 18 to 20.

In steps S1315 and S1303, a process of determining where the ball to be put is located in the green region is included. The management server 200 determines where the ball to be put is located in the green region and determines the position of the ball to be putter based on whether or not the putting shot coefficient condition described above is satisfied. That is, the management server 200 determines the position of the ball to be put as a position that satisfies the putting shot coefficient condition.

Now, S1317 and S1327 will be described, respectively.

Step S1317 is a process applied when the first putting position is the F region, and is a process of determining the second putting number assigned to the area where the actual golf ball arrived as the first putting result as the total putting number. For example, as a result of the first putting, if the golf ball has reached the N area, the total putting number is determined to be +2, and if it is the M area, the total putting number is determined to be +3. The second default putting number may be set to be about +/- 1 different from the first default putting number assigned to the area, but is not limited thereto.

S1327 is a process applied when the first putting position is the M area, and is a process of determining the second putting number assigned to the area where the actual golf ball arrived as the first putting result as the total putting number. For example, as a result of the first putting, if the golf ball has reached the N area, the total putting number is determined to be +2, and if it is the M area, the total putting number is determined to be +3. It is noted that the second default putting number may be set to be about ± 1 different from the first default putting number assigned to the area, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

14 is a flow chart illustrating a method for determining whether to putting and putting according to another embodiment of the present invention.

13, the management server 200 stores the first putting position, cumulatively adds +1 to the first putting position, and the assistant terminal (step S 1403) 300 in order to display accumulated shots. According to the embodiment, the accumulated shot can also be displayed on the terminal 100a of the golf player as described above. Since the subsequent processes are the same as those in Fig. 13, they will be omitted.

15 is a flow chart illustrating a method for determining whether to putting and putting according to another embodiment of the present invention.

15 is similar to the process of Fig. 14, except that the management server 200 determines whether the number of the accumulated number in the current hall is a double par, and if the number is double or more, (S1505: YES). Generally, in the 3rd hole, 6 or more is called a double wave, and in a par 4 hole, 8 or more is called a double wave. In a par 5 hole, 10 or more is called a double wave. In this embodiment, it is possible to introduce a double-wave as a criterion in which it is not meaningful to accumulate shots, although it may be changed according to the rule of the golf game, and a similar function may be introduced.

16 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the sub-process P4 used in the method shown in Figs. 13-15.

Sub-process P4 is a process of determining a first putting position and determining to which base area the first putting position belongs.

Referring to FIG. 16, the management server 200 selects first candidate regions that are estimated to have a first putting position (S1601) based on the behaviors of assistant athletes (S1601) (S1602), the first candidate regions and the second candidate regions are compared to determine a first putting position (S1605), and the determined first putting position is determined in advance (S1607). In step S1607, it is determined which base area belongs to which of the green areas.

The behaviors of assistant athletes may include, for example, where in the green the athlete is stationary for a certain amount of time, or a motion presumed to assist in putting shot (i.e. putting shot assisted estimate motion) will be. In addition, the player's actions may include, for example, where in the green the player is stationary for a certain amount of time, or a motion that is presumed to be a per shot (i.e., a putting shot estimation motion) And so on.

Here, S1601 and S1602 have no temporal relationship in time, either of which may be performed first, or both of them may be performed simultaneously.

FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the subprocess P4 shown in FIG. 16; FIG.

Referring to FIG. 17, a predetermined number of virtual partitioned green regions are shown. An N region 1709, an M region 1707, an F region 1705, and a cup 1701 are shown as base regions. In this example, the N region 1709 is a region within a radius Nd [m] around the cup 1701, and the M region 1707 is a region having a radius Nd [m] or more and Nd + Md [ m], and the F region 1705 is set to an area having a radius Nd + Md [m] or more around the cup 1701. The virtual regions N, M, and F do not define the actual green region but arbitrarily partition the program region. The base region of each of these regions is referred to as the above.

Referring to FIG. 17, it can be seen that the first putting position 1703 is located in the F region, and the outermost dotted line is arbitrary and will vary depending on the shape and size of the green region. Also, although the base regions are shown as circular in Fig. 17, they may be elliptical, and other shapes may be possible depending on the shape of the green region. On the other hand, the determination as to which base area the golf ball 1703 is located can be determined using the putting shot coefficient condition as described above.

The information on the base areas shown in FIG. 17 is included in the green area partition information of the management server 200, and the management server 200 determines the first putting position 1703, By using the area partition information, it is determined which base area the first putting position 1703 is included in.

Fig. 18 is a flowchart showing a sub-process P5 used in the method shown in Figs. 13 to 15, Fig. 19 is a view for explaining the sub-process P5 shown in Fig. 18, Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the sub-process P5 shown in Fig.

18 to 20 illustrate a process of selecting a second putting expected area. The management server 200 sets a virtual straight line between the predetermined first putting position and the cup (S1801) A plurality of virtual regions are set as a reference (S1803), and second putting expected regions are determined from the set virtual regions (S1805).

A method of setting a virtual area will be described with reference to Fig.

Referring to Fig. 19, a virtual straight line is shown between the first putting position 1903 and the cup 1901, and a total of nine virtual areas are set based on this virtual straight line. That is, F1 (1927), F2 (1915), F3 (1911), F4 (1917), M1 1925, M2 1921, M3 1923, M4 1919, Is set. This virtual domain is virtual and can be determined empirically.

For example, the golf player will putt in a first putting position 1917, typically along a virtual straight line from the cup to the cup, and then the golf ball will be positioned in any one of the aforementioned virtual areas. These virtual regions are used to select a second putting expected position to be described later.
