1. A system for golf swing analysis, comprising:
a data collection device, including,
a housing configured to be affixed internally within the shaft of a golf club;
a first circuit contained within said housing and including,
at least one inertial sensor configured to capture an orientation change when said golf club is selected for use, and X, Y, and Z axial acceleration data during swinging of said golf club,
a geolocation sensor for providing geolocation data determining a location of said golf club,
a golf club identification tag for providing club identification data, and
a data transmitter for wireless communication of said swing data;
a data receiving device in wireless communication with the data transmitter; and
a golf swing analyzer in communication with said data receiving device, said golf swing analyzer comprising a processor and a computer-readable memory storing computer-executable instructions for analyzing a combination of golf course data, said geolocation data, said club identification data, and said X, Y, and Z axial acceleration data and calculating club selection when said golf club is selected for use, geolocation, and a golf swing characteristic therefrom and displaying user shot data relative to a cartographic rendering of said golf course.
