These signals display fairway yardage, along with an animated
view of the hole and green. As the golfer drives down the fairway,
all distances scroll dynamically, giving the golfer exact information.
The system also provides professional tips, weather warnings,
electronic scoring, a live tournament leaderboard, has 911 capability,
and allows golfers to order food and beverages right from the
cart!
