As is well known, golf game is to go through 18 holes (or 9 holes) course once or 2 ~ 4 times, and send the ball through the fairway from the tee box provided in each course to the green and then to the green. It is a game in which a ball is put into a hole cup, and the fewer hits, the better the score.

Factors affecting the score are prior knowledge of the course, the weather at the moment (wind, humidity, etc.) and the skills of the golfer himself. Among the golfer's own skills, the hitting ability to hit the ball correctly and even the hole The important factor is the ability to read and cope with the direction and the remaining distance.

On the other hand, golfers have recently started using a golf game operating terminal to get better scores, which provide detailed information about the golf course, provide help at each location, and provide the remaining distance to the hole. Give guidance such as telling.

Among them, the most widely used is a terminal using a global positioning system (hereinafter referred to as a "GPS terminal"), which is a GPS data receiver for receiving and processing GPS data required for golf game operation from a satellite, and a golf course An information processing module for processing GPS data required for golf game operation input through the control center, and possible weather information on the golf course, side altitude information of the holes and distance information according to the ground level from the user to each hole, Database, a selection signal generator for providing a user selection signal by the user's selection, a central processing unit for reading and processing golf game operation information corresponding to the input data and signals from the database, and the central processing unit for reading.

However, the conventional GPS terminal is provided with information for lowering the score at the moment when the golfer operates the game, but does not provide a direction for improving the score to be gradually lowered in future games.

That is, if the golfer uses the GPS terminal, as mentioned above, the diary of the moment of hitting, the remaining distance to the hole cup, the topography of the fairway and the green, and the coping method that combine these information values are accepted. You can get a good score that day by hitting it from the state, but it's always only a temporary help, and how far the golfer himself hit the ball from the angle he was trying to hit, how far away the number was, and how It does not give you progressive advice and data values, such as whether it should be done.

This advanced advice and data is also needed for those who are professionally learning golf, but if you learn to play golf at a later age and are no longer able to correct your posture, you can get good scores by adapting your batting habits to your batting habits. It is also necessary for those who sleep.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional shortcomings to solve the problem, the main object of the invention is to install an electronic compass in the terminal using the GPS information by how much the golfer to deviate from the direction he was trying to hit It is intended to be able to provide information such as whether the angle is played, how far the deviation is due to the shifted distance, and how such a deviation should be combined in the future.

A characteristic configuration of the present invention for this purpose is a conventional information display unit for allowing a user to visually view various information, an information input unit for inputting various information and selecting arbitrary information, and a non-volatile memory, Even if it is turned off, the memory unit stores various information input by the user, the information display unit, the information input unit, the main control unit to which the memory unit is connected, and the main control unit for receiving data necessary for golf game operation from the satellite.
