the server ( 300 ) for transmitting the golf course information on the cart driving area and the cart driving limit area of the golf club and the information on whether the cart body ( 100 ) can enter the golf course with grass to the receiver ( 220 ); and

the terminal ( 400 ) having a GPS sensor ( 410 ) for providing the position information thereof to transfer the position information thereof to the receiver ( 220 ) is real time.

2. The golf cart system according to claim 1 , wherein the control module ( 200 ) comprises a sensor ( 240 ) adapted to sense whether the user gets on the cart body ( 100 ), so that if the user gets on the cart body ( 100 ), the cart body ( 100 ) is driven manually by the user's manipulation, and if the user does not get on the cart body ( 100 ), the cart body ( 100 ) is driven automatically by the driving mode selector ( 230 ) for selecting any one of the cart road driving mode ( 231 ) and the cart road and golf course entry driving mode ( 233 ) according to whether the cart body ( 100 ) can enter the golf course to control the driving of the cart body ( 100 ).

3. The golf cart system according to claim 1 , wherein. the server ( 300 ) comprises position information on hole cups of holes and tee shot points in the golf club to transmit the position information on the hole cups of the holes and the tee shot points is the golf club to the receiver ( 220 ), and the cart road driving mode ( 231 ) configured to have an algorithm (a1) in which while the cart body ( 100 ) is being driven on the cart road in a state of tracking the terminal ( 400 ), the cart body ( 100 ) is driven up to a point at which a straight line connecting the hole cup of the hole and the tee shot point along which the cart body ( 100 ) is driven and a straight line vertical with respect to the straight line in such a manner as to pass through the terminal ( 400 ) cross the cart road.

4. The golf cart system according to claim 3 , wherein the algorithm (a1) defines coordinates as the position information of the tee shot point as x1, y1, coordinates as the position information of the hole cup point as x2, y2, coordinates as the position information of the terminal ( 400 ) as x3, y3, and coordinates as the point at which the straight line connecting the hole cup and the tee shot point and the straight line vertical with respect to the straight line in such a manner as to pass through the terminal ( 400 ) cross the cart road as x, y, and the coordinates x1, y1, x2, y2, x3 and y3 are substituted for a mathematical formula,

so that the cart body ( 100 ) is driven up to the point at which the straight line connecting the hole cup and the tee shot point and the straight line vertical with respect to the straight line in such a manner as to pass through the terminal ( 400 ) cross the cart road.

5. The golf cart system according to claim 1 , wherein the server ( 300 ) comprises virtual path information having a plurality of coordinates within a set range spaced apart from the circumstance of the driving limit area of each hole by a given distance in an outward direction to transmit the virtual path information to the receiver ( 220 ), and at the time when the cart body ( 100 ) enters the set range of the driving limit area, the cart road and golf course entry driving mode ( 233 ) comprises a virtual path tracking mode ( 233 a ) in which the cart body ( 100 ) is driven along the virtual path, while tracking the terminal ( 400 ).

6. The golf cart system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal ( 400 ) comprises a measurer ( 420 ) having a measuring member ( 421 ) for measuring the body composition of the user and an analysis module ( 423 ) for analyzing the body composition data measured by the measuring member ( 421 ) to calculate total body water, comparing the calculated total body water with total body water in advance set, and transmitting a signal to an alarm ( 250 ) if the calculated total body water is less than the total body water in advance set by 3%, and the control module ( 200 ) comprises the alarm ( 250 ) adapted to generate a warning sound if the signal from the analysis module ( 423 ) is received.
