Abstract: A computer-implemented method for analyzing sport performance metrics and providing training feedback includes receiving play data for a plurality of users participating in a sporting activity; determining a statistical distribution of the performance metrics categorized by an ability level of each user; and receiving data indicating participation of the first user in the sporting activity. The server then determines a performance metric for the first user based on the received data and compares the performance metric to the statistical distribution of other users having a similar ability level as the first user. The server then identifies a deficient performance metric and transmits, to the user, a training program configured to improve the deficient performance metric.

Abstract: A method includes maintaining a plurality of sport-related ability metrics from a plurality of users, each of the plurality of users having a respective ability level or handicap that is within a predetermined tolerance of an ability level or handicap of an individual user; determining a statistical distribution of each of the plurality of ability metrics; receiving data from the individual user corresponding to the user's participation within a sporting activity; determining an ability metric from the data received from the individual user; generating a visual image that illustrates the determined ability metric within the statistical distribution; and displaying the visual image via the electronic user interface.

Abstract: An apparatus that displays an athletic activity notification user interface having a first display level, populating the user interface with activity notifications and determining the activity notifications include a threshold number of cumulative positive responses for users planning to attend a scheduled event, and displaying icons on the user interface representing the user that submitted the positive responses.

Abstract: A method includes maintaining a plurality of golf-related ability metrics from a plurality of users, each of the plurality of users having a respective scoring average or handicap that is within a predetermined tolerance of a scoring average or handicap of an individual user; determining a statistical distribution of each of the plurality of ability metrics; receiving score data from the individual user corresponding to a plurality of shots performed on a golf course; determining an ability metric from the score data received from the individual user; generating a visual image that illustrates the determined ability metric within the statistical distribution; and displaying the visual image via the electronic user interface.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a user via an electronic user interface, an indication of a golf course to be played, providing a listing of challenges to the user, receiving score data from the user in a sequential, hole-by-hole manner, and populating an electronic scorecard with score data from a selected one of the listing of challenges together with the received score data in a sequential, hole-by-hole manner. The listing of challenges include at least one of a previously recorded round of golf played at the golf course, and a simulated opponent.

Abstract: An apparatus that displays an athletic activity notification user interface having a first display level that stacks athletic activity notifications along a first axis, and a second display level that positions athletic activity notifications along a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, and whereby navigating through the user interface transitions athletic activity notifications from the second display leveled first display level.
