In a golf driving range (10, Fig. 1 not shown) golf balls (21) incorporating uniquely-coded passive transponders are collected by means of a device having a receiving channel (22) which directs the balls past a reader (25) employing RFID technology which reads the codes and supplies this information via a link (32) to a central computer for subsequent display. The reader (25) also actuates a gate (28) to direct the balls to a "reject" receptacle (29) or an "accept" receptacle (30). Similar devices are used for dispensing golf balls (50, Fig. 4 not shown) or supplying balls to an automatic tee device (70, Fig. 5 not shown). Alternatively balls can be identified on or near a tee (84, Figs. 6 and 7 not shown) on a mat (70).

A system for practicing or playing golf may include, alone or in combination, a golf target subsystem, a detection subsystem, and a golf ball dispensing subsystem. The golf ball dispensing subsystem comprises a free standing device placed at the teeing area which may receive and store a quantity of golf balls, illuminate the golf balls by exposing them to an illuminating source contained therein, and/or dispense the illuminated golf balls to the golfer. The golf target subsystem provides a visible target area within which the golfer may attempt to land a golf ball. In addition, the target is preferably illuminated to facilitate identification during night-time conditions. The detection subsystem determines whether a golf ball has landed within a perimeter of the target subsystem. A barrier portion covers the target area and receives any golf balls landing within the perimeter of the target area. Upon detection, a signal may be provided to indicate the presence of a golf ball within the perimeter of the target.

Methode d'entrainement et d'enseignement du golf qui consiste a projeter une balle de golf dans une zone de frappe de balle pendant que le joueur fait un swing (mouvement de balancement) avec un club de golf, pendant que la tete du club s'approche de la zone de frappe. La balle est projetee et arrive dans la zone de frappe, sur le passage de la tete du club, immediatement avant le balayage de la zone par la tete. L'appareil pour l'entrainement et l'enseignement du golf comprend un poste possedant une zone de frappe (Z) balayee par une tete de club de golf (C) avec lequel un joueur (P) effectue des swings. Un dispositif de projection (12) est actionne (par l'element 18) pendant le swing du club effectue par le joueur, pendant que la tete du club s'approche de la zone de frappe, et projette une balle dans la zone de passage de la tete du club lorsque celle-ci balaye la zone.

The invention relates to a portable and ergonomic instrument for storing golf balls and tees and for automatically positioning a tee in the ground at a predetermined height and a ball in balance thereon, by means of a movement of one hand on the part of the player in the standing position. Said instrument consists primarily of a main body (10) serving as a storage unit (12) for balls (Bn), a multi-purpose shuttle (20) and a retaining clamp (P). After setting the desired height of the ball on the thumbwheel (50), the alternating movement of the shuttle (20) from abutment to abutment, using the knob (21), first upward, then downward and finally upward, enables the result to be achieved. Any golfer who has difficulty bending down or squatting, and those who do not wish to bend down or squat, may be interested in owning such an instrument.
