1. A golf swing evaluation system comprising:
- a sensor system configured to be worn by a user for detecting golf swing dynamics data;
wherein the sensor system transmits a set of data comprising swing data from the user;
a computing device that receives the set of data from the sensor system and stores a plurality of a user'"'"'s golf swing signatures;
wherein each of the plurality of user'"'"'s golf swing signatures includes swing tempo data for an individual golf swing and data indicating a golf club used for the individual golf swing;
a tactile sensation device configured to induce a sensory response to the user during a subsequent golf swing;
wherein the computing device determines and transmits a signal to the tactile sensation device to create the sensory response during a golf swing;
wherein the sensory response provided to the user during the subsequent golf swing is determined by comparing the user'"'"'s swing tempo to another player'"'"'s swing tempo and transmitting a signal representing said another player'"'"'s swing tempo to the tactile sensation device to alter a feature of the user'"'"'s golf swing.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for providing coaching, training, or equipment specification information to individual golfers based on data generated during their individual golf swings. Additionally, data hubs are described that provide information and services to individuals based on data collected for a community of multiple golfers. Such community data hub systems and methods may provide one or more of the following: (a) storage of scoring data, swing data, ball flight data, and/or equipment data for multiple golfers; (b) at least some level of individual access to the stored data for the community; and/or (c) electronic interaction between golfers within the community.

9. A golf swing evaluation system comprising:
-
a sensor system configured to be worn by a user for detecting golf swing dynamics data; wherein the sensor system transmits a set of data comprising swing data from the user; a computing device that receives the set of data from the sensor system and stores a plurality of a user'"'"'s golf swing signatures; wherein each of the plurality of user'"'"'s golf swing signatures includes swing tempo data for an individual golf swing and data indicating a golf club used for the individual golf swing; a tactile sensation device configured to induce a sensory response to the user during a subsequent golf swing; wherein the tactile sensation device is provided in a golf glove; wherein the computing device determines and transmits a signal to the tactile sensation device to create the sensory response during a golf swing; wherein the sensory response provided to the user during the subsequent golf swing is determined by comparing the user'"'"'s swing tempo to another player'"'"'s swing tempo and transmitting a signal representing said another player'"'"'s swing tempo to the tactile sensation device to alter a feature of the user'"'"'s golf swing. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A golf swing evaluation system comprising:
-
a golf club configured to be held by a user; a sensor system configured to be attached to the golf club for detecting golf swing dynamics data; wherein the sensor system transmits a set of data comprising swing data from the user; a computing device that receives the set of data from the sensor system and stores a plurality of a user'"'"'s golf swing signatures; wherein each of the plurality of user'"'"'s golf swing signatures includes swing tempo data for an individual golf swing and data indicating a golf club used for the individual golf swing; a tactile sensation device configured to induce a sensory response to the user during a subsequent golf swing; wherein the tactile sensation device is provided in the golf club; wherein the computing device determines and transmits a signal to the tactile sensation device to create the sensory response during a golf swing; wherein the sensory response provided to the user during the subsequent golf swing is determined by comparing the user'"'"'s swing tempo to another player'"'"'s swing tempo and transmitting a signal representing said another player'"'"'s swing tempo to the tactile sensation device to alter a feature of the user'"'"'s golf swing. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
