An estimated trajectory, an estimated ball landing point, and an estimated run rangeare displayed in a game image. The estimated ball landing pointis displayed as, for example, a star mark, in a game space of the game imagewhich corresponds to a terminal coordinate point on the estimated trajectory. The estimated trajectoryis obtained for a shot at a power indicated by a power target value set by the player, and is displayed so as to extend between a current balland the estimated ball landing pointbased on estimated trajectory data. The estimated run rangeis displayed in the game space of the game imagebased on estimated run range data, so as to have a shape of a rectangular area, which is divided into a plurality of equal-sized mesh parts, in accordance with geographic undulations.
