The analysis unit 130 uses the selected club 80 if there is no obstacle 10 on the shortest distance, and checks whether the flying distance of the advertised club 80 can exceed the obstacle 10 if there is an obstacle 10 . can The analysis unit 130 may provide the user 90 with the selected club 80 when the distance to the next obstacle 10 after passing the obstacle 10 is less than the sum of the flying distance and the running distance. If the flying distance of the selected club 80 can pass the obstacle 10 , but then reaches the obstacle 10 , the analysis unit 130 sets the direction of movement of the golf ball in a direction away from the obstacle 10 . can be changed In this case, the changed direction may satisfy a range in which the sum of the flying distance and the run distance does not reach the next obstacle 10 while passing the obstacle 10 as a flying distance. The analysis unit 130 may select a new club 80 suitable for the changed direction as necessary. The analysis result of the analysis unit 130 may be displayed through the display unit 150 such as a smartphone screen.

According to the optimization strategy, the analysis unit 130 may set a straight line direction from the current position to the green 30 .

Based on the personal information of Table 1, if there is an obstacle 10 , the analysis unit 130 may determine whether to attack before the obstacle 10 , or whether to bypass the obstacle 10 , or to pass the obstacle 10 . If there is a preferred club 80 capable of overcoming the obstacle 10 among the preferred clubs 80 , the analysis unit 130 may recommend it, otherwise it may select a bypass method. If the width of the fairway (bypass area) in the detour direction is not more than n times the width of the obstacle 10 , the analysis unit 130 may recommend the preferred club 80 to attack before the obstacle 10 . The analysis unit 130 may recommend the preferred club 80 that does not cross the boundary line of the golf course, for example, the next obstacle 10 in the detour direction.
