About Club Catcher

Since golf was invented in 15th-century Scotland, it’s happened every day on every course - golfers leaving their clubs behind, usually a wedge near the green…

• That panic as you realize it and tell your group you need to go back and look for it, interrupting golfers behind you and delaying everyone's game...
• Searching the Lost and Found clubs in the pro shop...
• Spending time and money buying a replacement, or...
• Not finding an exact match and facing either mismatched clubs or a whole new set!

If this is you, you're not alone. A survey by a major golf equipment manufacturer found that 70% of golfers have lost or left clubs behind on the course.

70% of golfers have lost or left clubs behind on the course.

Club Catcher solves the problem. Lightweight devices screw into the grips of whichever clubs you want to protect and work with a free mobile app. The devices contain sensors that know whether the clubs are in or out of your bag, and bluetooth that lets the app know each club's status. The app monitors clubs going in and out to detect when you've left one behind, and gives you an alert on your phone and smartwatch.

To answer a frequently asked question: no, the app does not depend on location or distance from a club - this would give many false alarms, as golfers often take their clubs far away from their phone during normal play when the phone is with the golf cart.

In a typical scenario, you take out your pitching wedge and putter. After you finish putting, you return the putter - at that point the app knows you should be returning your pitching wedge too, and if you don't, the app alerts you before you move on to the next hole.

The app is free with no subscription, and the best part is, once you have that and the Club Catcher units, you don't have to think about it or do anything - it doesn't interfere with your game, unless you leave a club behind. It's peace of mind - not having to remember whether you have all your clubs, an insurance policy against that frustration of losing one. So you get to focus on enjoying the course, honing your shots, spending time with your friends, whatever golf means to you.
