The present invention relates to a portable golf score recording apparatus and to a device capable of recording, modifying and storing their score during a golf game.

Golf is a game in which the player who finishes the game with the fewest strokes in 18 holes wins by playing 18 holes, but comparing the total number of holes in the hole. However, in golf, not only the overall number of strokes, but also the standard stroke for each hole, it is important to know how many strokes you put in the hole in each hole and how many strokes you overtake in the standard stroke. It is important to keep a record.

Conventionally, a golf score card has been used to record the total number of strokes and the number of holes per hole for each player. This card is not only used to indicate the winning or losing of a golfer, but also the handicap and the standard number indicating the difficulty of each hole. This is used to determine the difficulty of the hole before or during the game, and based on the record of the golf scorecard, the golfer analyzes his game in various ways to accurately analyze his / her strengths and weaknesses. By analyzing the contents of the game, it also helped them improve their performance by identifying their strengths and weaknesses.

However, the conventional golf scorecard is composed of the number of strokes per hole and the total number of strokes by simply adding up the number of strokes per hole, so it is not possible to analyze the details of the game except for simple analysis. 'S scorecard was limited in improving the performance by comprehensively analyzing the contents of the game.

Recently, there has been a golf score recorder that can be entered electronically in a portable form, but it only has a function of storing scores, and it does not deviate significantly from existing golf scorecards. Since the amount of information displayed per page is small, it is inconvenient to change pages by pressing a button several times in order to grasp the overall grade of 18 holes.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a golf score recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the golf score recording apparatus of the present invention comprises a key input unit, a central control unit, a screen display unit, a memory, and an external interface. The key input unit is composed of a cursor key that moves the cursor on the screen, and several keys for selecting, selecting a mode, and the like. To reduce the size of the overall keypad, one key can be configured to have multiple functions.

The central control unit may record predetermined contents in the memory according to the input signal input from the key input unit, and modify the contents of the memory or read the recorded contents from the memory and display them on the screen display. To control.

The screen display unit displays the contents read from the memory under the control of the central controller or the contents input by the user. It is possible to display the whole score of 18 holes and to display only 9 holes in / out at a time, there is no problem in game progress or analysis.

The memory stores information input by the user or previously input information so that the user can systematically store and analyze the golf game contents.

The external interface is used to connect the contents stored in the golf score recorder to an external PC and store the data on the PC or to retrieve the data from the PC. In the golf score recorder, not only the current game but also past game data is stored, but it is easy to manage with a PC for more systematic management and accessibility.

2 is an example of a golf score recording device manufactured according to the present invention. In order to increase the portability, the overall size is reduced while the size of the screen display unit is as large as possible. The key input unit is limited to the cursor key, the power key, the menu key, the cancel key, and the confirmation key to increase the ratio of the screen display unit to the front side.

3 is a view showing a mode of the golf score recording apparatus in one embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the golf score recorder in the embodiment of the present invention is divided into a game mode, an advice mode, an analysis mode, a correction mode, and an additional mode.

The game mode is a mode in which the golfer's score is input while the actual game is in progress. Enter the actual golfer's grades as the game progresses. In addition to the number of hits in each hole of the golfer, the number of putts, whether the initial tee shot fell on the fairway, the type and number of golf clubs used for each hit, the direction of the batting, the method of attack, the direction and strength of the wind, and other special features Can be entered. In addition, it is possible to input the date, time, golf course, golf course, the name of the person participating in the game.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 2 it is possible to input the number of strokes, putting, and fairway seating as the game progresses. In particular, the number of putts refers to the number of times you hit the ball with the putter when you play the game on the green near the hole.It is not easy for beginners to put the ball on the green and put it into the hole. It can have a bigger impact on game wins than drive shots. Therefore, only the number of putts need to be managed separately so that the putting number recording unit 13 is provided so that only the number of putts can be input separately.

In addition, since the first tee shot ball enters the fairway, the tee shot recorder 14 is placed to indicate whether or not the tee shot ball entered the fairway, since it needs to be managed separately. Is simply represented by O, X.

 In addition, in game mode, data that can be collected during the game can be input as data for analysis. For example, the strength and direction of the wind, the weather, the golf club used to make the shot, and the result of using the golf club, the distance and direction the shot was taken may be the target.

The advice mode is to process the existing data of the player in various forms (average attrition, average par 3 hole, average par 4 hole, average par 5 hole, fairway hit ratio, par on rate, average putt, The average birdies, etc.) are provided as data for each course or golf course.If you have previously played a game at the same golf course, you can get advice on other hits based on the average records of previous games. If the golf club and the attack method are recorded, this is accumulated as data, so that the player can attack the hole in the most suitable way based on the previous experience.

The golf club used for each rudder from the beginning to the hole-in may be different. For this purpose, the golf club used for each rudder and the result (distance and direction) can also be input. However, if you input only basic strokes or strokes and putts without inputting such additional information, only the corresponding information is provided.

Even if you have never played a game on the same golf course before, average records such as paon rate and average number of holes per 3 hole can be a great help in the game because the characteristics of the golfer can be identified. The average number of par three holes is the average number of holes in which the standard number of three holes is the average. The average number of par 4 and par 5 holes is also the same. Paon rate is the number of strokes it takes to put the ball on the green from the first tee shot, the average putt is the number of strokes from the ball on the green to the hole-in, and the average number of birdies is the average number of birdies recorded per game. Say.

The analysis mode is a mode that provides an analysis result based on the inputted data so that the current and past grades can be compared and analyzed after the game progresses.

The correction mode is a mode that allows a user to directly modify an input data when there is an error or needs to correct the data.

The additional mode is a mode that provides other additional functions, such as calendar function, yard / meter conversion, memo, and so on. The golf course reservation date can be stored and retrieved separately.

2 shows such a game mode. The top of the recorder shows the date and time of the game and the game number. Game numbers can be numbered if you play multiple games on the same day. Below it is the name of the golf course and course and the names of the people who will participate in the game.

Hole numbers 1-9 are displayed at the bottom and IN, Out games, and total number of strokes (TO) are displayed below the standard numbers at each hole. The total number of standard strokes in the course is displayed. Only one of the in and the out may be displayed. Normally 36 in and outs are common and 72 at full stroke. Recently, however, there are 69 or 73 holes, not 72, so the sum of the total number of bases is determined based on the standard number of holes in each hole.

At the bottom, the number of putts and whether the first ball dropped from each hole fell on the fairway can be entered for each hole, and the number of strokes before entering the hole can be recorded. Whether or not the first intimacy was dropped on the fairway was indicated by O and X. If the first shot fails to enter the fairway, it will have a big impact on subsequent game operations, so whether the first shot is on or off is very important, and when you manage your performance, you won't be able to hit the fairway. Being able to search for strokes at times can greatly help you improve your performance. If you're not a pro, you'll often hit more than your baseline, so you can also search for an extra hit when you enter the fairway and an extra hit when you don't.

The part for recording the number of putting is called the putting number recording unit 13, and it is named as the tee shot recording unit 14 to indicate whether or not it fell on the fairway. The data input to the tee shot recorder and the putting number recorder records the putting stroke separately as an auxiliary data for analyzing the contents of the game, and the batting stroke is calculated by subtracting the putting stroke from the golfer's stroke and compared with the standard stroke of each hole. The breaking rate can be calculated. This putting number itself can be used to determine the golfer's putting ability and to grasp the golfer's overall skills. On the right side of the tee shot recorder and putt recorder, the total number of strokes and fairway settling rate are recorded. The score recorder 15 is located below the score of each golfer in each hole is displayed.

In addition, since it is common for the amateur to input the standard number of inputs, it is possible to input only the number of strokes that exceeds the standard number. For example, if you make a hole-in after 5 strokes in a hole with 4 base strokes, you enter 1 instead of 4. If you type over strokes, you can enter it differently from the usual input, such as changing the color or underlining it. These settings can be set initially or in the device's settings.

In addition, a person who has holed in at least one stroke less than the standard number of strokes is called a birdie, and a person who has two holes in at least one stroke is called an eagle.However, when a birdie or an eagle comes out, the color of the hole's grade is changed or a square is hit around the number. You can also display them in a separate way, such as glittering them. In addition, the average number of strokes per hole is called a handicap and may be expressed as such.

In the case of playing a game, the auxiliary display unit 12 may be operated in the advice mode so that when the game is played before, the data of the previous game may be displayed or the advice based on this data may be used to help the game progress. . However, a keypad may be displayed to facilitate input upon input.

4 shows the advice mode. 4 shows that the three-hole game is currently in progress. The auxiliary display unit 12 shows that the average fairway seating rate in the three-holes is 45% and the average stroke is four. Also, on April 2, 2005, he recorded the eagle by attacking at 12 o'clock using an Emacs driver.

5 is a view showing an embodiment of an analysis mode in the golf score recorder according to the present invention. In the analysis mode, you can search based on the name, date and time, golf course name, game number, and the number of games. The number of games is outputted from the number of recent games as much as the input number, and the game number allows to search for a game number determined by a game specific number or section. These conditions are ANDed and searched only for the input.

Fig. 6 is a diagram showing such a search result. You can see the search by name, input period / golf course / game number, the number of games. Game modes such as average score, average putts, total putts, save rate, green hit rate, fairway hit rate, birdie per game, lowest hit, par average 3, par 4 average, par 5 average and more Displays all the information obtained from the information entered from. Here, the save rate is the number of holes recorded below the reference wave divided by the total number of odds. The green hit ratio is the number of green hits divided by the total number of odds. If the number of putts is less than or equal to the base number, it is considered a green hit. . (Putting number <= reference stroke-2)

7 is a diagram illustrating an analysis mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. Shown in the figure shows information of courses in a golf course. The result is displayed according to the name, date, etc. condition.

 In order to play golf, reservation is mandatory. When a golf course is reserved, the contents are entered so that the contents can be entered in advance so that there is no disruption to the game operation. In addition, memos or yard / meter conversions may be additionally provided.

According to the above-described design, the golfer not only records his / her match, but also records the scores of the players who played the game together. It provides the data that can be analyzed in a variety of ways to improve the golfer's shortcomings and improve the performance. When playing the game again in the same place, it has the effect of finding the most suitable strategy. In addition, there is an effect that helps to progress the game by displaying the necessary matters in each hole during the game progress.
