Abstract
The device of the present invention, positionable in or on a golf bag, monitors golf club location or presence. The device includes a marker mechanism, or tag, positionable on a golf club that imparts a unique identification to the club. The device also includes a sensing mechanism or sensing system that monitors the status of the clubs, including the presence, removal and return of the golf clubs. As each club includes a unique identifier, the sensing system can track the clubs by monitoring the sensors. The device also includes a readout mechanism that cooperates with the sensing system to provide information to the golfer regarding the status of their clubs.
