GAME PROVIDING METHOD AND GAME SYSTEM IN GOLF DRIVING RANGE}

The present invention relates to a game providing method and a game providing system in a golf practice range, and more particularly, to a game providing method and a game providing system which enables a plurality of exercisers to play a game in an indoor exercise range of golf.

For example, a golf ball indoor practice field (hereinafter referred to as an "indoor practice field") is provided with a plurality of plate seats, and each plate has a ball supply means for supplying a golf ball (hereinafter referred to as "ball"). Excreted. That is, each exerciser can practice swinging or strike by entering the plate and hitting the supplied ball with a golf club.

By the way, in the conventional indoor practice ground, there was a side which was insufficient in the fun aspect. In other words, even if the hit ball flew to the target and fell to the aimed position, the practitioner himself was satisfied and there was no reward for the result.

Therefore, it is considered to arrange a target (target) at a predetermined position so that when the ball hit by the exerciser hits the target, a privilege is given to the exerciser. This encourages the practitioner's desire to fly to the target position, and the practitioner can practice happily.

However, although the above-described method can be enjoyed by an exerciser practicing alone, there was a side where it was insufficient to enjoy in a group. In other words, this method was not suitable as a method in which a plurality of exercisers compete with each other. For this reason, for example, even in the case of coming to the indoor practice field as a group, the individual could not practice but enjoyed in the group like a game on a golf course.

In addition, in a real golf course, you can play in groups, but in that game, you must repeat the batting and walking motions until the ball is put into the hole on the green. As a result, there was a lack of convenience. Moreover, since the fee for using the golf course is relatively high and there are no places near towns and the like, it could not be enjoyed simply as leisure between family and friends.

Thus, in view of the above situation, the present invention can be played in a group using a golf practice range, and furthermore, to provide a game providing method and a game providing system capable of competing superiority only by performing a hitting operation. It is.

Let it be "1" (step S3). After that, when the ball G is supplied to the player M by the automatic tee up mechanism 2a of the ball supply means 2 (YES in step S4), the count value C is set to "1". It adds up and it counts up (step S5). Then, until it is recognized that the ball G can be put in the basket 6a of the first (for example, the foremost row), that is, until it is specified by the first specifying means 20a (NO in step S6), The process of step S5 is repeated in step S3, and it counts up every time the ball G is supplied. At this time, the count value C is displayed on the display means 4.

If it is recognized that the ball G can be put in the basket 6a of the foremost row by the output of the 1st specific means 20a (YES in step S6), the count value C will be returned to the output means 25. FIG. Is transmitted to the management apparatus 23 (step S7). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable n is "3", that is, whether or not the ball G can be inserted into the basket 6c of the last row, and is not yet put into the basket 6c of the last row. In step S8, NO) and "1" are added to the variable n, and the process returns to step S4. That is, in subsequent step S6, it is determined whether the ball G was put in the basket 6b of the 2nd row. In this way, each time the ball G is put in the target basket 6, the basket 6 of the target is changed, and the count value C is set until the balls G are put in all the baskets 6 in order. It is added.

And if the ball G can be put into the basket 6c of the last row one by one (YES in step S8), an end signal is transmitted to the management apparatus 23, and a process is complete | finished.

On the other hand, in the management apparatus 23, as shown in Fig. 5, when data relating to the player M is registered in the player data registration means 28 (YES in step T1), either individual processing device 22 Is determined whether or not the count value C is transmitted, that is, whether or not the count value C has been received, and when the count value C is received (YES in step T2), the count value C is returned at the plate D. In correspondence to the count data storage means 27 (step T3). In addition, a report card is created by the report card creating means 29, and data relating to the report card is transmitted to all the individual processing apparatuses 22 (steps T4 and T5). Specifically, based on the count data storage means 27 and the player data registration means 28, the scores of the players M are created as a list. As a result, the report card is displayed on the display means 4 of each individual processing apparatus 22. In addition, the score report shows the name of the player and the number of karate counted until the ball G is inserted for each basket 6.

Then, until the end signal is received from all the individual processing apparatuses 22 (NO in step T6), the processing of step T5 is repeated from step T2, and the report card is updated each time the count value C is received. . On the other hand, when the end signal is received from all the individual processing apparatuses 22 (YES in step T6), the comparison means 30 rearranges and outputs the report card. In other words, the data in the schedule is rearranged in the order of the highest grade, that is, the smallest cumulative number, and the rank is also displayed.

Thus, by arrange | positioning said playing field value 1 in a golf practice field, it becomes possible to provide the competition with respect to a some player M. FIG. According to this, each player M can compete for the right and left only by hitting the ball at each plate D. FIG. For this reason, it becomes possible to enjoy in a group easily.
