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.
