INTRODUCTION :

Nowadays technology goes on a higher degree in all aspect of lifestyle. It makes the users work efficient, secure, fast, and hassle free. What started as a flickering idea turn into a brilliant design which contributed to an endless list of innovations that help make human life easier.
The researchers’ observed, golf putting trainers that that are emerging today implement the manual system, where the user have to manually place the golf ball in the putt. The counting of score as well as the difficulty has a different procedure which is also manual or not automated. These emerging scenarios or situation pushed the researchers to develop a system that could help in the current system through the use of computers.
The researchers’ idea started when one of the members decided to design "Automated Golf Putt Training System". The design will create a monitoring and putting system with different level of difficulty for an exciting golf putting practice.



ABSTRACT :

As in golf's early days, the clubs still had wooden shafts equipped with slick leather grips, the balls didn't fly very far, and the courses were cruel. At first golf balls were made of wood, a substance that must have transmitted interestingly painful vibrations to the players' hands. The early 17th century saw the introduction of the 'feathery'—boiled feathers stuffed into a leather sack. These balls were handmade and very expensive, and did not travel far. Not long ago an antique feathery turned up, and it could be driven about 175 yards (today's professionals easily top 300). In the middle of the 19th century the feathery was replaced by the gutta-percha ball, or 'gutty,' which was formed from the latex of tropical trees. Its lower cost made golf more affordable, but a drive of more than 200 yards was considered an achievement.
Today, modern automation devices reduce human labor which increased productivity, tighter quality control and higher efficiency. Because of the modernization even playing in a single hole can be automate. By the use of the proposed project the system advises the user with a sensor that will detect the number of missed and shot of the golf ball and it will automatically replaced or reload a ball in the putt. All the system is electronically controlled and it has a seven segment display to know if how many balls had been shot or missed. The purpose is to enhance the ability and skill of the user in golf putting without going to the real golf course just to practice putting.
