The system includes motion capture elements such as visual markers and sensors utilized in the capture of motion data both wirelessly and visually. The system may send a unique identifier and spatial data over a self-contained radio and antenna wirelessly to an external system that may analyze and display the spatial data in a user-friendly manner. |

A golf training device comprising a body having a cylinder section including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The cylinder section defines an interior portion extending from the first end to the second end. A flange section is coupled to the cylinder section proximate the second end. An edge is formed on a perimeter of the disc. A receiver is formed in the interior portion proximate the first end of the cylinder section. The receiver is configured to receive an end of a golf club grip. The interior portion is configured to contact the golf club grip in a fixed position. The edge portion configured to contact a forearm such that the forearm and a centerline of the golf club form an alignment angle. The alignment angle orients the golfers hands, wrist and forearms with a centerline of a golf club shaft. |

Wireless golf club motion capture apparatus configured to obtain spatial data from at least one sensor that is coupled with a microcontroller wherein the apparatus fits into a golf club handle or weight port or otherwise couples to a golf club. The apparatus may send a unique identifier and spatial data over a self-contained radio and antenna wirelessly to an external system that may analyze and display the spatial data in a user-friendly manner. The unique identifier and/or radio through use of non-interfering communications mechanisms allows for multiple clubs one or more players to be within range of a wireless receiver and not interfere. Adapters that may be specific to each golf club manufacture allow for coupling the apparatus to any type of golf club. |

An apparatus including a configurable golf green having a changeable contour is provided. The apparatus includes a flexible covering forming the golf green. The flexible covering is movable between a base condition and a contoured condition. The apparatus includes a covering support assembly configured to support the flexible covering in both conditions. The support assembly includes a plurality of movable positioning elements disposed in an array below the flexible covering. Each movable positioning element includes an upper end having an adjustable vertical position in contact with a portion of the flexible covering. The support assembly includes a movement actuator configured to independently move at least some of the positioning elements and to form a golf cup at a desired location on the flexible covering by lowering the adjustable vertical position of the upper end of at least one of the positioning elements compared to an immediately adjacent positioning element. |
