A golf tracking system including a tag coupled to a golf club. The tag includes a plurality of sensors, each which output a signal based on a detected movement of the golf club, a microcontroller that compares each of the plurality of sensor outputs to stored reference sensor output values, and a transceiver that transmits data corresponding to the sensor outputs to a device remote from the tag based on the comparison performed by the microcontroller. The location-aware device then processes the information received from the tag to determine whether a shot should be registered.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining when one or more golf clubs are in use or in a golf bag. Alerts can be provided if it is determined that the golfer has misplaced one or more golf clubs. The disclosed systems and methods can also be used to determine whether other objects have been misplaced from a typical storage container.
