Abstract: The system is comprised of a plurality of hand held units carried by golfers, a plurality of flagstick units located at a golf course and a master Clubhouse unit. Each hand held unit includes a power source, a transceiver, a distance determining circuit, a keyboard with display, an audio generator and a microprocessor which controls the mode of the hand held unit. Each flagstick unit is comprised of a power source, a transceiver and a controlling microprocessor. The microprocessor includes a plurality of subprograms which control the function of the hand held unit or the flagstick unit. To determine the distance between a hand held unit and a flagstick unit, a button on the keyboard is pressed to select a particular flagstick unit. The microprocessor is activated to activate the audio generator indicating the button was properly pressed and, simultaneously, the distance determining circuit and transceiver are activated.
