Coaching aid for golf
First Claim
1. A method for defining at least one target area for statistical analysis of golf performance comprising:
- providing a mobile device including a Global Positioning System (GPS) component;
the GPS component determining GPS coordinates of a starting position, wherein the starting position is a location of the mobile device;
the mobile device storing the GPS coordinates of the first starting position;
the mobile device defining a recommended target area based on at least historical performance data for a club selection;
the mobile device adjusting a position of the recommended target area to a location within range of the club selection;
the mobile device converting the recommended target area to a custom target area based on manual input of positions, dimensions, and/or shapes for the custom target area; and
the mobile device automatically modifying a perimeter of the custom target area such that the custom target area does not extend outside of fairway boundaries or green boundaries.

Abstract
Systems and methods providing statistical analytics of golf performance for coaching including text, tabular, graphic, and image-based outputs that include trends information for the golfer, all based upon actual golf play on course situations, wherein the golfer inputs shot data during play, without interrupting the flow of the game, and uploads the shot data for analytics and review online, and wherein all information related to a given user are reviewable by an authorized coach user through a web-based coach access account. The system is further operable to provide the coach user rights for providing corrective or instructive feedback to the user, including visual recommendations such as modified target areas.
