Recognize this course.  Perhaps you played there a few days ago on vacation or maybe it's your home club.  You birdied that tough closing par-5.  What a way to finish off a round.  And that's your wedge next to the green!  Think you'll ever see it again?

Research at dozens of public and semi-private courses around the country yields that 5-10 clubs are left on their courses each and every week by forgetful golfers.  At least four times as many are retrieved by golfers having to endure the embarrassment of asking the previous foursomes if they picked up one of their forgotten clubs.

Club-Minder is a device simple in concept and inexpensive to use compared to the cost of replacing a $100 club.  All you have to do is use the divot tool as a club rest or place it near that last used club while you putt.  A transmitter is housed in your divot repair tool and a receiver worn as a pager provides an audible alarm if you venture more than 35 yards from your forgotten club.  Then all you have to do is concentrate on your game.
