1. A system for capturing and communicating golf swing data including at least one of ball-related golf swing data and club-related golf swing data, the system comprising:
- a ball data module incorporated in a golf ball, the ball data module having a ball data capture element for capturing the ball-related golf swing data from the golf ball and a ball data transmission element for transmitting the ball-related golf swing data;
a club data module incorporated in a golf club, the club data module having a club data capture element for capturing the club-related golf swing data from the golf club; and
a mobile computing auxiliary device integrated within the golf club, the mobile computing auxiliary device having an auxiliary receiving element for receiving both the ball-related golf swing data from the ball data module and the club-related golf swing data from the club data module,wherein the ball data transmission element is operable to transmit the ball-related golf swing data through a wireless communication mechanism, and wherein the ball data transmission element includes a radio-frequency identification tag.

Abstract
A method and system for capturing, transmitting, and displaying golf swing data uses data capture elements in golf balls or golf clubs to capture data and transmission elements to transmit the golf swing data to a mobile computing auxiliary device. The mobile computing auxiliary device relays the captured and transmitted golf swing data to a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device transmits the golf swing data to a database. A server associated with the database generates web pages to make the golf swing data available over the internet.
