Abstract
A golf scoring system is provided in which one or more sensors are positioned in close proximity to the location where a golf club strikes a golf ball in connection with a golf shot. Additionally, a receiver/display device is provided so as to be in periodic communication with the one or more sensors. Thus, when a player makes a shot, and thus contacts the golf ball with a golf club, the aforementioned sensors detect the shot and relay information pertaining to that shot to the receiver/display. The receiver/display, upon receiving the information, processes the information and displays it for view by the one or more golfers playing the round. The same information may also be transmitted to a central location or to other specific locations for centralized, real-time display of golf score, pace and current hole information.
