1. A method for determining golf shot characteristics, comprising:
detecting, in imaging data captured by an imager, a signature of a golf shot launched from a first launch area of a plurality of launch areas from which golf balls are to be launched, a field of view of the imager including one of the first launch area and an area adjacent to the first launch area;
determining, from the imaging data, first shot characteristics for the golf shot, the first shot characteristics including a first launch location and a first launch time;
determining whether the first launch location and the first launch time correspond to a second launch location and a second launch time for second shot characteristics determined from sensor data captured by a further sensor arrangement; and
when no correspondence is found between the first and second launch locations and the first and second launch times, transmitting the first shot characteristics to a display at the first launch area, shot data based solely on the first shot characteristics.
