Abstract
To provide a golf club determination method, a golf club determination device, and a golf club determination program capable of automatically determining the type of a golf club by analyzing a swing of the golf club. A golf club determination device includes a measurement unit that measures a posture of a golf club in an address using an output of an acceleration sensor of an inertial sensor mounted on a golf club; and a determination unit that determines the type of the golf club based on the measured posture of the golf club. Another golf club determination device includes a measurement unit that measures a swing of a golf club using an output of an inertial sensor mounted on the golf club, and a determination unit that determines whether the golf club is a putter based on the measured swing.
