摘要:
The invention relates to a marker adapted to be supported in the ground and which allows a cylinder-type grass mower to cut grass around the marker without requiring the removal of the marker. The marker has a flexible elastomeric element (29) coupled between a substantially rigid shaft (20) and a substantially rigid stake (21) which urges the shaft into axial alignment with the stake and which allows a cylinder-type grass mower (53) to bend the rigid shaft over at the elastomeric element to a position substantially flat with the ground.

The present invention relates to a system for golf score registration comprising a terminal at the clubhouse, and/or a start box at first tee, for check in and check out into the system before and after a game of golf, boxes (1) after each hole for score registration, means for communication between boxes on the course and a central unit, and individual information carriers that each player bring on to the course while playing. Each information carrier holds a flag indicating if the player bringing the information carrier is entitled to play on the golf course or not, and each box (1) is adapted to read the flag and thereby to determine the eligibility of a player holding an information carrier. Indicators (31, 32, 33, 34) positioned nearby each box (1) is adapted to indicate whether a player is eligible to play or not according to the determination.

A novel item of furniture, particularly for locating in an out-door setting such as on a golf course or in the countryside, comprises a free-standing shell (3) adapted to receive a removable litter container and having a lid (4) attached to said shell, the lid being movable between a first position permitting such a container to be placed within the shell and a second position (as illustrated) in which it covers the container, said shell (3) further having an upper surface (8 and/or 9) so positioned as to serve as a support for an adult user. The illustrated embodiment is suitable, among other purposes, for locating adjacent to a tee on a golf course and may incorporate a display panel (10), which may give details of the length and layout of the hole and/or display advertising matter.

The invention relates to a device (1') for creating a visual marker in the grass (3') on a golf course. The device comprises a base (5') configured to be steadily anchored in the ground under the grass (3') and an elongated marker (7') connected to the base (5'). The marker (7') is configured to be movable between an upright position in which the marker (7') extends away from the grass (3') and a lying position in which at least part of the marker (7') extends along the grass (3'). The marker (7') is configured to be brought from the upright position to the lying position when driven over by a lawnmower and return to the upright position after having been driven over. The marker (7') comprises a plurality of separate-standing bendable elongated elements (12) which are configured to be movable between said upright and lying position and to allow blades of grass to penetrate between adjacent elongated elements (12) in the lying position.

A method and apparatus is employed in determining the green-speed of a golf putting green. The method is achieved by selecting a site on a putting green having a relatively flat surface and determining the extent of putting surface available for measurements, setting a green-speed reading apparatus including a ramp, which includes a raised start end and a ground contacting release end with at least one golf ball rolling track thereon, in a first direction whereby the release end of the ramp contacts the putting green surface at the selected site, selecting one of two predetermined start positions for a golf ball based upon the extent of putting surface available for measurements and retaining the golf ball at the selected start position in the track, the start position being at the raised start end of the track, releasing the golf ball from the start position, allowing the golf ball to roll down the track by gravity onto the putting green surface, measuring the distance the golf ball rolls across the putting green from the release end of the ramp, repeating the test with the apparatus facing in the opposite direction at the selected site and measuring the distance the golf ball rolls across the putting green from the release end of the ramp, and calculating the average distance of all the golf balls rolled to determine a value in terms of green-speed.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for hole selection in a defined area. Embodiments further disclose a system and method for selecting a golf hole location on a green. The system may include a storage component, a processing component, an analyzing component, a selecting component, and a user interface. The storage component may store a database of potential hole locations and attributes. The analyzing component may apply limitations to selecting golf hole locations based upon attributes of each golf hole location to determine an available set. The selecting component may select a golf hole location from the available set. The user interface may be used to input data and output a presentation of a selected golf hole location.
摘要:
The invention relates to a score recording terminal (10) for handling golf score data, and a method for implementing such a terminal. Several score recording terminals are located at certain points on a golf course, and each terminal is adapted to be operated by a golf player by means of a personal smart card (20) during play. The terminal comprises a keypad (12) for the entry of input data from the golf player, a smart card reader (13) for communication with the player's smart card (20), a memory (17) for storage of data (171) and an executable program code (172), and a microprocessor (14). The program code is designed to cause the processor to read score data from the smart card (20), to receive input data from the keypad (12), to calculate new score data on the basis of the received score data and the received input data, and to deliver the new score data back to the smart card (20).
