Pace of play is an important statistic for a golf course to accurately determine and monitor. Knowledge of pace of play helps identify groups of golfers that are playing slow and facilitate taking corrective actions, facilitate tee sheet optimization, etc. to make the golf course more efficient, more profitable, and, overall, more enjoyable for the golfers. However, determining when a respective golfer's round, as well as each hole, begins and ends can be inaccurate using current detection and monitoring strategies, which can thereby impact efficiency, profitability, and golfer enjoyment of the golf course.
One embodiment relates to a pace of play monitoring system for a golf course. The pace of play monitoring system includes a first sensor configured to be positioned on a golf cart and facilitate detecting a location thereof, a second sensor configured to facilitate detecting tee shots taken at a tee box of a hole of the golf course, and a control system. The control system is configured to detect that the location of the golf cart is proximate a tee box area for the tee box based on first data acquired with the first sensor, detect one or more tee shots at the tee box based on second data acquired with the second sensor, record one or more tee shot timestamps associated with the one or more tee shots, detect when the golf cart leaves the tee box area based on the first data, identify a respective tee shot timestamp of the one or more tee shot timestamps associated with a respective tee shot of the one or more tee shots immediately preceding the golf cart leaving the tee box area, and set the respective tee shot timestamp as a start of play for one or more occupants associated with the golf cart.
Another embodiment relates to a pace of play monitoring system for a golf course. The pace of play monitoring system includes one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits are configured to receive data acquired with one or more sensors configured to facilitate detecting a presence of a golf cart within a tee box area of a hole of the golf course and facilitate detecting tee shots taken at a tee box of the tee box area, detect that the golf cart is within the tee box area based on the data, detect one or more tee shots at the tee box based on the data, record one or more tee shot timestamps associated with the one or more tee shots, detect when the golf cart leaves the tee box area based on the data, identify a respective tee shot timestamp of the one or more tee shot timestamps associated with a respective tee shot of the one or more tee shots immediately preceding the golf cart leaving the tee box area, and set the respective tee shot timestamp as a start of play for one or more occupants associated with the golf cart.
Still another embodiment relates to a pace of play monitoring system for a golf course. The pace of play monitoring system includes a golf cart and one or more processing circuits. The golf cart includes a microphone and a position sensor. The one or more processing circuits include at least one of (a) a first processing circuit positioned on the golf cart or (b) a second processing circuit positioned remote from the golf cart. The one or more processing circuits are configured to monitor a position of the golf cart based on position data acquired with the position sensor, activate the microphone in response to the golf cart being located within a tee box geofence associated with a tee box of the golf course, detect one or more tee shots at the tee box based on sound data acquired with the microphone, record one or more tee shot timestamps associated with the one or more tee shots, deactivate the microphone in response to the golf cart being located outside of the tee box geofence, identify a respective tee shot timestamp of the one or more tee shot timestamps associated with a respective tee shot of the one or more tee shots immediately preceding the golf cart leaving the tee box geofence, and set the respective tee shot timestamp as a start of play of a round of golf for one or more occupants associated with the golf cart.

The functions of the site monitoring and control system 200 will be described herein in relation to the fourth golf cart 10d of
So, in reference to
In some embodiments, the site monitoring and control system 200 (e.g., the memory 104 of the vehicle controller 100, the memory 254, 264 of the remote systems 240, etc.) is configured to store or access a library of sound profiles associated with a plurality of different types of clubs (e.g., drivers, woods, wedges, hybrids, etc.) and/or a plurality of different types of brands (e.g., TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, Titleist, etc.). In such embodiments, the site monitoring and control system 200 may be configured to compare one or more characteristics of the sounds captured by the microphone (e.g., frequency, amplitude, decibels, pitch, etc.) to the library of sound profiles to detect the tee shots. In some embodiments, the site monitoring and control system 200 is otherwise configured to detect the tee shots (e.g., a distinct sound other than ambient noise, a sound with a decibel level or amplitude over a certain sound threshold, etc.).
The site monitoring and control system 200 may also be configured to continue monitoring the location of the fourth golf cart 10d to facilitate detecting or determining when the fourth golf cart 10d enters and subsequently exits the green geofence 346 for the respective hole 310. The site monitoring and control system 200 may then be configured to (a) record a green exit timestamp for the respective hole 310 and (b) determine a pace of play for the respective hole 310 based on the difference between the tee shot timestamp and the green exit timestamp associated with the respective hole 310.
The site monitoring and control system 200 may be configured to continue determining the tee shot timestamps, the green exit timestamps, and the pace of play for each subsequent hole 310 on the golf course 300 (e.g., the second hole 314, a third hole, a fourth hole, etc.) until the last hole 316 is played by the occupants of the fourth golf cart 10d. The site monitoring and control system 200 may be configured to determine that the last hole 316 has been played by the occupants of the fourth golf cart 10d (which may be the final hole of the golf course 300 such as a 9th or 18th hole, or a hole prior to the final hole if the occupants do not complete a whole round) based on a certain amount of time elapsing after a last recorded green exit timestamp (e.g., ten minutes, fifteen minutes, etc.) or the fourth golf cart 10d returning to the clubhouse 304 or other designated location to store golf carts. Once it is determined that the last hole 316 has been played by the occupants of the fourth golf cart 10d, the site monitoring and control system 200 may be configured to (a) determine that the round of play is over and (b) determine the pace of play for the round based on the difference between the tee shot timestamp associated with the first hole 312 played and the green exit timestamp associated with the last hole 316 played.
The pace of play information and data may be used to monitor ongoing rounds of golf to identify groups that may be causing bottlenecks in the golf course 300 and to facilitate corrective actions (e.g., sending a staff person or Marshall out to inform the groups that they need to sped up play). The pace of play information and data may be used to understand defects in the course design and facilitate redesigning for improvements. The pace of play information and data may also be analyzed by the site monitoring and control system 200 to create player profiles for each golfer that, over time, helps generate a better understanding of how each golfer plays on the golf course 300. With such player profiles, tee sheets for each day at the golf course 300 can be dynamic based on a predicted pace of play for each of the players on the tee sheet and better optimized (e.g., player group assignments more intelligently created, etc.) such that the pace of play is more consistent, bottlenecks are avoided, more rounds of golf can be played, and the golfers have a more enjoyable experience.
Referring now to
At step 402, a control system (e.g., the site monitoring and control system 200, the vehicle controller 100, the remote systems 240, etc.) is configured to detect a golf cart (e.g., the vehicle 10, the first golf cart 10a, the second golf cart 10b, the third golf cart 10c, the fourth golf cart 10d, etc.) entering a tee box geofence (e.g., the tee box geofence 328) for a hole (e.g., the first hole 312 of the round of golf). At step 404, the control system is configured to monitor sounds proximate the golf cart (e.g., by activating a microphone, using the microphone, etc. of the golf cart) while the golf cart is within the tee box geofence. At step 406, the control system is configured to record timestamps associated with the sounds of one or more tee shots.
At step 408, the control system is configured to detect the golf cart exiting the tee box geofence. At step 410, the control system is configured to identify a respective timestamp associated with the sound of a respective tee shot of the one or more tee shots immediately preceding the golf cart exiting the tee box geofence. At step 412, the control system is configured to set the respective timestamp as the start of play (for the hole and the round if the hole is the first hole played in the round) for the occupants associated with the golf cart.
At step 414, the control system is configured to detect that the golf cart is exiting a green geofence (e.g., the green geofence 346) for the hole. When the control system detects the golf cart exiting the green geofence, the control system is configured to record a green exit timestamp. At step 416, the control system is configured to determine a hole pace of play for the occupants of the golf cart on the hole based on the tee shot timestamp and the green exit timestamp for the hole.
At step 416, the control system is configured to determine whether the round of play is over (e.g., based on a certain amount of time passing since a last timestamp being recorded, if the golf cart returns to a golf cart parking area, etc.). If the control system determines that the round is still ongoing, the control system is configured to repeat steps 402-416 for each subsequent hole. If the control system determines that the round is over, the control system is configured to determine a round pace of play for the occupants of the golf cart based on the tee shot timestamp for the first hole (e.g., the first hole 312) of the round and the green exit timestamp for the last hole (e.g., the last hole 316) of the round. The hole pace of play and round pace of play data may be used to enhance or improve operations of the golf course and overall enjoyment by the players.
While tee shots have been described herein as being monitored using a microphone, it should be understood that other types of sensors may be used. By way of example, cameras or optical sensors on the vehicle 10 be used to monitor the tee box area 320 and facilitate detecting tee shots. Further, the sensors may additionally or alternatively be positioned remote from the vehicle 10 at each of the tee box areas 320 (e.g., cameras, microphones, etc. may be positioned to monitor the tee box area 320). Further, in some implementations, geofencing is not used, but rather Bluetooth beacons or other short range detection systems may be positioned at each tee box area 320 and green area 340 to detect the presence or absence of the vehicle 10 (e.g., for timestamping purposes, for microphone or other sensor activation purposes, by detecting a short range transmitter such as Bluetooth on the golf cart, etc.). Further, in some implementations, the functions of the position sensor and the microphone may be performed solely by a camera or optical sensor.
