Golf electronic scoring device
First Claim
1. A hand-held device for storing and processing performance data reflecting golf scores, the device comprising:
- an interface module configured to generate prompts for player data, goal data, and performance data;
an output device in electrical communication with the interface module and configured to display the prompts;
an input device in electrical communication with the interface module and configured to receive performance data;
a memory in electrical communication with the input device and configured to receive and store the performance data; and
a statistic module configured to generate performance statistics based on the performance data; and
a review module configured to retrieve selected performance data and performance statistics in response to a player'"'"'s request and generate a comparison of the goal data to the performance data and the performance statistics, the interface module configured to generate a player report reflecting the performance data, the performance statistics, and the player information, the output device configured to display the player report.

Abstract
The present invention provides a hand-held portable device capable of tracking and incorporating valuable golf performance statistics to allow a player to identify weaknesses in game play. The present invention includes a hand-held device for storing and processing golf scores. The device has a logic device for processing executable commands and is in electrical communication with a memory, an input device, and an output device. The memory includes an interface module configured to generate prompts for player identification and performance data. The prompts are displayed on the output device. The performance data reflects golf scores and other areas of objective performance on the golf course. As the performance data is entered it is stored in a memory in association with a player identification. The memory further includes a statistic module configured to generate performance statistics based on the performance data. The performance statistics provide valuable feedback relating to a player'"'"'s areas of strengths and weaknesses. The performance statistics may be consolidated and averaged over a single round of golf or over a plurality of rounds. The interface module is further configured to generate a player report incorporating the performance data, the performance statistics, and the player information. The player report may be displayed on the output device in a matrix format.
