Method and System For Golf Content Displayed on a Computing Device

Abstract

Methods and system are provided to allow users to capture metrics from their golf adventures and memories, e.g., experiences on a golf course, for example, by recording content associated with the user experience on the golf course. Users may then display this content on an electronic map. By use of the electronic map, a user may interact with other users to share an experience on a golf course. For example, a user may share content regarding a golf course showing holes played, interaction with other users, and other content, thereby providing a user story. Users may also comment on their own or other users' play during a game of golf, such as bragging about golf play or commenting on another user's poor performance. Users may keep an experiential history of their play across different courses around the country or world.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method in a data processing system for providing golf experiential content and golf social content to a user, comprising:

         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein detecting, by a computing device, the first geographic location of a first mobile device associated with a first user while the first user is playing a first game of golf further comprises: automatically detecting the first geographic location. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, by the computing device, a second geographic location of a second mobile device associated with a second user while the second user is playing golf;   receiving, by the computing device, a second selection of golf experiential content or golf social content associated with the second user in accordance with the detected second geographic location;   storing, by the computing device, the second selection of the golf experiential content or the golf social content in the computer readable medium; and   providing, by the computing device, the second selection of golf experiential content or the golf social content associated with the second user playing a second game of golf previous to the first game of golf by the first user for display by the first mobile device.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 receiving, by the computing device, a selection of a third selection of golf experiential content or golf social content associated with the second user in accordance with the detected second geographic location; and   providing, by the computing device, the selected third selection of the golf experiential content or the golf social content associated with the second user for display by the first mobile device, wherein the third selection of the golf experiential content or the golf social content corresponds to a third game of golf played concurrent with the first game of golf.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the golf experiential content comprises at least one member of a group comprising: weather at a point in time, times of year, events specific to the first user, emoticons, sound of a golf ball strike, or time on a golf course. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing, by the computing device, a plurality of golf courses for display on an interactive map on the first mobile device;   receiving, by the computing device, from the first user, a selection of one or more of the golf courses; and   providing, by the computing device, a golf course map associated with the selected golf course for display on the first mobile device.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first selection of the golf experiential content or the golf social is configured to be overlaid on the golf course map when displayed by the first mobile device. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the golf experiential content comprises sending a temperature to the first mobile device for display by the first mobile device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing, by the computing device, a golf course name or location for display on the first mobile device.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing, by the computing device, a score for display on the first mobile device.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the golf social content indicates one or more other users golfing with the first user at the detected first geographic location 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 providing, by the computing device, selected first golf content to the second users.   
     
     
         15 . A computing system, comprising:
