Patent number: 11786810Abstract: A game-play environment includes a tee box, a range surface, and a monitor. The tee box is configured to permit a player to hit a golf ball onto the range surface. The range surface has a plurality of physical markers. The monitor depicts a virtual environment that includes a plurality of virtual components. Some of the virtual components are visual cues that correspond to the physical markers. A player can play the game by targeting the appropriate physical marker that corresponds to the desired visual cue.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: FlyingTee Tech, LLCInventors: Ryan Tawwater, John Vollbrecht, James Vollbrecht

Patent number: 10238943Abstract: A system and method for tracking the flight of golf balls at driving range. The system includes a plurality of hitting stations, a plurality of sensors, a computer, and a range surface. Each hitting station in the plurality of hitting stations includes a golf ball, a golf club, a monitor, and a sensor. At least one other sensor in the plurality of sensors is placed outside a hitting station. The flight path of the golf balls being calculated by the computer using parameters by the plurality of sensors. The method includes steps for determining whether a first sensor detected a first parameter and a second parameter, whether a second sensor detected a first and a second parameter, whether a third sensor detected a third parameter, and depicting the flight path of the golf balls using the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: FLYINGTEE TECH, LLCInventors: James Vollbrecht, John Vollbrecht, Ryan Tawwater
