  • Patent number: 4926161
    Abstract: A method of monitoring from a remote location each of a plurality of golf carts as they travel through a golf course. The Pro Shop, or other convenient location, and each golf cart are equipped with both transmitting and receiving apparatus such that wireless, two-way signals for a variety of communications may be sent between the carts and Pro Shop. Additional receiving and transmission apparatus is provided at a fixed location remote from the carts and Pro Shop such that the Pro Shop may receive signals which will establish the bearings of each cart on the course. Through circuitry and computer programming which performs triangulation procedures on the signals, the locations of each cart on the course are displayed upon a monitor board. From the location information thus received, warning signals may be sent to the carts of slow playing groups which are causing bottlenecks at particular holes.
