Golf match progress following arrangement , includes wireless transmission device for transmitting at least positional data with data sets to spatially remote central device

Golf match-play tracking arrangements, including those with management information systems, comprise a central device and at least one movable field device (including GPS) arranged on a golf player, a navigational device and a first part for wireless communication for passing positional data to the central device which includes the second part of the transmission unit and an output device. Providing detailed progress reporting of the game from a central point, besides making global statistical information available is required for giving a satisfactory overall picture of the course that the match is taking, and the implementation of a ball-path computation device into the arrangement for ascertaining the path taken by the ball, goes a long way to meeting this need.
