Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a start management device for golf, etc., which enables golfers, caddies, and caddy masters to visually observe the start status of a teeing ground at a golf course, for example. The present invention provides a start management system for golf, etc., which allows the start to proceed efficiently.

Traditionally, the starting time at a golf course is assigned to each party, and each golfer knows in advance his or her own starting time, but play may be delayed or delayed depending on the weather or golfer's skill level. There are various starting times, sometimes the start time is earlier or later, and it is usual that the start time cannot be started at a predetermined time.

In particular, the number of golfers has increased significantly in recent years, and as golf courses become more crowded, start times become increasingly variable.

Traditionally, to inform golfers of the actual start time, golfers' names are called out using a public address system when they reach the actual starting order. Since players are not able to see what progress is being made while waiting, they are unable to wait for the start and end up gathering at the teeing ground early, which can lead to the teeing ground becoming crowded.

In addition, the caddy cannot know the exact start time of the party he is in charge of, so even if he is in a situation where he can start, there is no caddy and he cannot start play, which further delays the start.

The present invention provides an excellent management device that can solve these problems all at once, and an embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the general configuration of the entire structure. 1 is the out-course teeing ground, 2 is the in-course teeing ground, 3 and 4 are the teeing grounds, respectively. Televisions installed at 1 and 2 take images of the players. Cameras 5 and 6 are posts installed on the teeing ground, and include count switches 51 and 61, start number display sections 52 and 62,
Intercom terminals 53, 63, call buttons 54, 64
has.

7 is a control device located in the caddy master room.

8 and 9 are monitor TVs placed in the starting room, which display the out-course and in-course Teige round conditions, respectively, and superimpose the starting number of each course (which party is currently teeing off). ) is displayed in the corner of the screen.

Similarly, monitor TVs 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 14 and 15 are placed in the restaurant, caddy master room, and lobby, respectively, so that the status of the teeing ground and the starting number can be seen from anywhere.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the signal system of this device.
01 is an intercom device, 702 and 703 are keyboards, 704 and 705 are counters, 706 and 707 are synchronization signal generators, and 708 and 709 are counters 704 and 705
710 and 711 are video mixers, and 712 and 713 are video distributors.

The operation of this device will be explained below.

First, each time each party finishes a tee shot, the caddy presses the count buttons 51 and 61, the counters 704 and 705 count up by one, the start number is updated by one, and the number displaying that number becomes a character signal. The images from the cameras 3 and 4 are displayed through generators 708, 709 and mixers 710, 711 on monitor televisions placed in each room.

This situation can be constantly monitored in the caddy master room, and by operating the keyboards 702 and 703, if an error occurs in the start number, it can be corrected from the caddy master room.

The updated start number is also displayed on the displays 52 and 62 of posts 5 and 6, allowing the caddy who pressed the switch 51 or 61 to confirm, and the party on the teeing ground to confirm that their start number has arrived. can be confirmed.

Furthermore, since communication via an intercom is possible between the posts 5 and 6 and the caddy master room, even if a problem occurs, the caddy can take prompt action without having to go to the master room.

As described above, according to the present invention, golfers waiting to start can check the progress of the start with images and numbers no matter where they are, and can accurately recognize their own starting order, so they can calm down without getting irritated and do their own work. You can wait until the start time.

Also, since you can observe the actual playing situation on video, it is useful for studying swing form, and you can use the time waiting for the start even more effectively.

Furthermore, since the caddy can also accurately know his/her own work time, the game can proceed even more smoothly.

Note that the present invention is not limited to golf courses, but can be similarly applied to playgrounds such as field archeries.
