Abstract: A system for providing golf swing guidance to a user can include a sensor assembly positionable on a ground surface. The sensor assembly can communicate with a network device to determine a location of the sensor assembly positioned on the ground surface. The sensor assembly can receive, based on the location of the sensor assembly, data representing aim instructions and a required swing characteristic for a desired trajectory of a golf ball. The sensor assembly can monitor a practice swing of the user and can produce practice swing data based on the monitored practice swing. The sensor assembly can determine a practice swing characteristic from the practice swing data and can determine a probable stroke result based on the practice swing characteristic and the required swing characteristic. The sensor assembly can transmit the probable stroke result to the user device.

Abstract: Methods and system generating data utilized to create, populate, and format a dynamic and interactive user interface for improving a golfer's driving and putting are disclosed. The system that may be utilized by golfers to improve ball striking and putting, comprising a base station, a server system, and a digital ball marker. Wherein the system may comprise a digital ball marker that is placed proximate to the golf ball, which may be utilized to determine the ball position signals generated by a satellite-based navigation system and signals generated, received, and processed by a base station. A provider's server system may then be utilized to generate calculated recommended golf shot parameters using the position of the ball, the known position of the hole, a topographical data set, previously populated data related to a particular user, and real-time environmental conditions.

Abstract: Implementations of the present invention provide systems and methods for providing a golfer putting information. Preferred embodiments may provide a golfer with optimal ball trajectory, including the initial path the ball should be stuck on, point to which the ball should be struck and optimal force with which the ball should be struck. In preferred embodiments a golfer utilizes a mobile putting device, which may be placed anywhere on or around a putting surface, where a putting surface may be any suitable environment for striking a golf ball with a putter. Preferred embodiments of the putting device are structured to allow alignment with the cup and/or stationary object, indicate where the ball should be placed, indicate the optimal line on which the ball should be struck and the computed force with which the ball should be struck.

Abstract: The present invention extends to a digital compass ball marker that can be used to provide timely information to assist the golfer in determining a direction and force for a golf shot on a green. The digital compass ball marker can output this information using minimal information input by the golfer so that the use of the ball marker does not slow play, and in many cases, can speed play. The information provided by the ball marker can include a force with which to hit the shot and a direction to aim.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating a path of a golf ball on a putting surface and for calculating an ideal putt direction and speed to cause a golf ball in an initial location on a putting surface to, when putted, enter a hole in a putting surface as described are significantly more computationally efficient and rapid. The efficiency allows implementation of the systems and methods with lower-powered computing devices, including mobile computing devices such as smart phones and the like.
