Golf, which was once considered only the preserve of the wealthy, has become a popular sport that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age or gender, due to the increase in golf infrastructure and the spread of screen golf.

A golf game is played on a course consisting of 9 or 18 holes. If you start hitting the first stroke from the tee shot position of each hole and put the golf ball into the hole cup installed on the green, the game in the current hole ends with a hole out. .

In the process of playing such a golf game, it is very important to determine the remaining distance from the current position of the golf ball to the hole cup. In other words, a golf player can select an appropriate golf club by accurately knowing the remaining distance from the current position of the golf ball to the hole cup. To this end, conventionally, the remaining distance from the current position of the golf ball to the hole cup is measured using a caddy's (game assistant) experience, a rough visual measurement based on a fixed structure for distance display, etc., or the user's own visual measurement, etc. The remaining distance is measured, and a golf club is selected according to the measured remaining distance to hit the golf ball.

For example, putting is to put the ball on the green into the hole cup with the flag standing on it, and in golf, the game of one hole ends by putting the ball into the hole cup. When putting, the golfer must accurately understand the slope of the green as well as the curvature, and must hit the ball accurately and sensitively according to the intended plan to finally put the ball in the hole cup. Putting can be said to be the most difficult process in golf because it does not tolerate even a single mistake. In fact, when putting, a golf club specially designed for putting, called a putter, is used.

Therefore, in order to putt accurately, the golfer must accurately understand the condition of the green from various angles. In general, a golfer determines the hitting point, hitting direction, and striking strength by comprehensively considering wind direction, green slope angle, slope direction, distance between the hole cup and the ball, and texture of the green grass.

Recently, various measuring devices have been proposed that automatically measure the remaining distance from the current position of the golf ball to the hole cup and inform the player. Most of these measuring devices use GPS (Global Positioning System) information. The mobile devices carried by players receive GPS information to determine the gamer's current location, and the determined current location information and the previously stored hole cup location are used.

Meanwhile, after turning on the power in step S110, a pre-stored mode screen is displayed on the display unit 110 (S130), and then a mode change can be displayed (S140). The above-described process can be performed on the user's hands. Next, when the operation button 120 is double-clicked in step S140, the wind direction and wind speed detected in real time by the wind direction and wind speed sensor 13 in the wind direction mode are displayed on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG. 7. (S150).

Next, the angle mode proceeds (S160), and when the user places the portable golf environment measuring device 10 on the green, the slope and direction of the slope at the current location are displayed in real time as shown in FIG. 8 in the normal mode (S160). S170). That is, the inclination detected by the inclination sensor 14 is displayed as an angle in the central part, and the inclination direction is displayed in the shape of a golf ball.

Next, in step S170, the operation button 120 may be clicked or the screen of the display unit 110 touched and placed on the ground, and the measurement mode may be executed (S180).

In the measurement mode, for example, the user can measure the actual putting distance from the green to the hole cup while walking. That is, click the operation button 120 or touch the screen of the display unit 110, walk one step, place the portable golf environment measuring device 10 on the ground (S190), and then use the portable golf environment measuring device 10 again. Holding the control button 120 or touching the screen of the display unit 110, walking one step further and placing the portable golf environment measuring device 10 on the ground corresponds to the actual putting distance from the green to the hole cup. Repeat for the desired distance (S190). Next, by shaking the portable golf environment measurement device 10 for algorithm calculation in the control unit 15, the final calculated value is displayed on the display unit 110, as shown in FIG. 11 (S200).

Figure 11 is a diagram showing a state in which the putting distance according to the slope and the putting direction according to the slope are displayed on the display unit by the portable golf environment measuring device according to the present invention.

In Figure 11, for example, according to the slope and direction shown in Figure 8, the actual putting distance from the green to the hole cup (the user's 3 steps) is the corrected putting distance according to the slope, which is corrected left and right according to the 2.3 steps and slope. The putting direction indicates 5.5 to the right of the hole cup.

As shown in FIG. 11, the putting distance according to the corrected slope and the putting direction according to the slope are displayed on the display unit 110, and then the process proceeds to the normal mode of step S170. In addition, after a certain period of time, the power of the portable golf environment measuring device is turned off and reaches step S100.

As described above, by using the portable golf environment measurement system and measurement method according to the present invention, the user can accurately execute putting from the green to the hole cup.
