  • Patent number: 12654088
    Abstract: A golf putting system according to one embodiment includes a putt detector and a cup detector. The putt detector includes one or more sensors and a control circuit to detect when golf balls are putted. The cup detector includes one or more sensors and a control circuit to detect when golf balls enter a putting hole. The putt detector and the cup detector are configured for wireless communication with one another. The putt detector is configured to determine the number of putts taken and the number of putts made during a putting session in response to the putt detector detecting when golf balls are putted and the cup detector detecting when golf balls enter the putting hole. Optionally, the system may determine and display the distance between the putt detector and the cup detector. Other systems, devices, methods and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
