Abstract
Golf is well known worldwide as a prestigious and enjoyable sport. However, access to golf has been limited by high training costs, such as coaching fees, equipment, and course/driving range fees. This paper proposed a cost-effective golf assistive system, which is designed for golf beginners. This system uses Kinect sensor to detect beginners common swing mistakes. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy ratio in detection of errors is over 80 %. This paper provides a useful alternative assistive system for improving golf swings.
