Abstract

An system and method for improving one's golf game is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method and system includes a software system for measuring golf swings, hits, and analyzing a round of golf. The system and method disclosed herein can work with any number of hardware devices including a cellular phone and various electronic measuring devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and cause the one or more processors to perform:
 receiving, from a device within a golf tracking network, a round start signal; 
 creating, on a web server, a golf round database; 
 storing, on the device within the golf tracking network, golf shot data; 
 receiving, from the device within the golf tracking network, a hole advance signal; 
 uploading a staging table comprising the golf shot data to the web server; and 
 coordinating displaying, on a mobile electronic device within the golf tracking network, golf round data derived from the golf shot data. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the round start signal comprises a distance reading and the device within the golf tracking network comprises a laser device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the golf shot data is stored on a plurality of devices within the golf tracking network, wherein each device of the plurality of devices records a different datum of the golf shot data. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the staging table comprises a multi-row table. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein each row in the multi-row table is generated from a respective distance reading created by a laser device within the golf tracking network. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the staging table is consolidated before the uploading to the web server. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein consolidating the staging table comprises deleting rows in the staging table comprising data collected within a predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 receiving, from a device within a golf tracking network, a round start signal;   creating, on a web server, a golf round database;   storing, on the device within the golf tracking network, golf shot data;   receiving, from the device within the golf tracking network, a hole advance signal;   uploading a staging table comprising the golf shot data to the web server; and   coordinating displaying, on a mobile electronic device within the golf tracking network, golf round data derived from the golf shot data.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the round start signal comprises a distance reading and the device within the golf tracking network comprises a laser device. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the golf shot data is stored on a plurality of devices within the golf tracking network, wherein each device of the plurality of devices records a different datum of the golf shot data. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the staging table comprises a multi-row table. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein each row in the multi-row table is generated from a respective distance reading created by a laser device within the golf tracking network. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the staging table is consolidated before the uploading to the web server. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein consolidating the staging table comprises deleting rows in the staging table comprising data collected within a predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         15 . One or more articles of manufacture including one or more non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage mediums having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
 receiving, from a device within a golf tracking network, a round start signal;   creating, on a web server, a golf round database;   storing, on the device within the golf tracking network, golf shot data;   receiving, from the device within the golf tracking network, a hole advance signal;   uploading a staging table comprising the golf shot data to the web server; and   coordinating displaying, on a mobile electronic device within the golf tracking network, golf round data derived from the golf shot data.   
     
     
         16 . The one or more articles of manufacture of  claim 15 , wherein the round start signal comprises a distance reading and the device within the golf tracking network comprises a laser device. 
     
     
         17 . The one or more articles of manufacture of  claim 15 , wherein the golf shot data is stored on a plurality of devices within the golf tracking network, wherein each device of the plurality of devices records a different datum of the golf shot data. 
     
     
         18 . The one or more articles of manufacture of  claim 15 , wherein the staging table comprises a multi-row table. 
     
     
         19 . The one or more articles of manufacture of  claim 18 , wherein each row in the multi-row table is generated from a respective distance reading created by a laser device within the golf tracking network. 
     
     
         20 . The one or more articles of manufacture of  claim 15 , wherein the staging table is consolidated before the uploading to the web server and wherein consolidating the staging table comprises deleting rows in the staging table comprising data collected within a predetermined period of time.
