  • Method and system for detecting when a golf club is a pre-determined distance from an area
    Publication number: 20060255918
    Abstract: A device periodically transmits a request to the RFID tag affixed to each golf club in the set of golf clubs. If a golf club is within a pre-determined distance from the device, the RFID tag affixed to the golf club will respond to the request. If the golf club is not within the pre-determined distance from the device, the RFID tag affixed to the golf club will not issue a response. The failure of a golf club to respond within a specified time interval will result in the display of a message on the device indicating that a golf club is unaccounted for. The device can transmit a signal to a handheld device wearable on a golf course reporting the missing golf club directly to the owner of the golf club who is wearing the handheld device.
