Abstract: A visual aid for broadcasted golf games consists of a three-dimensional relief map of holes on real golf courses. The map is imprinted with vertical and horizontal grid lines and coordinates. Grid locations of played ball positions are broadcasted so that the broadcast audience can chart play on the map. The map is provided with scaled, punch-out trees and other obstacles which, in conjunction with the contours of the map, convey to an observer spatial information about the layout and obstacles of particular golf holes.
