Question 1

How do I get started using ClubWatch?

Accepted Answer

One-time setup: download the mobile app, select clubs for installation, screw each club unit into the grip (holding the black portion), register clubs by removing them from the bag one at a time and selecting their names in the app, then tap Play. A video tutorial is available. Hold clubs to a light during registration if not in bright conditions.

Question 2

What is ClubWatch?

Accepted Answer

ClubWatch is a system of lightweight Bluetooth sensor devices that screw into your golf club grips and communicate with a free phone app to alert you if you leave a club behind, before you go on to the next hole without it.

Question 3

What's the story with lost golf clubs, and how does ClubWatch solve it?

Accepted Answer

About 70% of golfers have lost or left clubs behind on the course. ClubWatch trackers screw into grips and the app uses club sequence and timing (not GPS distance, which would cause false alarms) to detect when a club is left behind, alerting your phone and smartwatch.

Question 4

Where can I buy ClubWatch?

Accepted Answer

You can order ClubWatch from the ClubWatch Pro Shop at shop.clubwatch.com.

Question 5

Do I need an app to use ClubWatch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ClubWatch app is completely free and available for iOS and Android.

Question 6

Do I need any special equipment to use ClubWatch?

Accepted Answer

No. ClubWatch trackers simply screw into the existing grips of your golf clubs.

Question 7

What if I have a SuperStroke or other grip without a normal hole?

Accepted Answer

A special club unit in a silicone sleeve that slips over the grip end is available for grips without standard holes, such as some SuperStroke putter grips.

Question 8

Will ClubWatch affect my swing?

Accepted Answer

No. The units are very lightweight and sit at the end of the grip — the swing fulcrum — so you won't feel them and they won't affect your swing.

Question 9

How does ClubWatch work?

Accepted Answer

Each club unit contains a light sensor, accelerometer, microcontroller, and Bluetooth radio that signals in/out-of-bag status. In Standard Mode the app monitors club sequence and timing — units on the putter plus at least one other club are required. In Pocket Mode (for keeping the phone in your pocket), alerts trigger when clubs get far from the phone and only one unit is needed. Adjustable Return, Removal, Pocket, and Max timers control alert timing.

Question 10

Tell me about the batteries

Accepted Answer

Batteries are included — each unit ships with a pre-installed CR2032 coin cell. Battery life is 6 years or more. CR2032 batteries are user-replaceable: pry off the cap with a coin, remove the PCB, slide in a new CR2032 under the clip (positive side away from the PCB), and reassemble. The app shows a low-battery warning when replacement is needed.

Question 11

What is ClubWatch Advanced?

Accepted Answer

ClubWatch Advanced is a premium subscription that unlocks AI phone alerts, Find My Club with GPS, a digital scorecard with 50,000+ courses, AI swing analysis with a 0–100 Swing Score, club analytics, distance tracking, GPS course maps, a USGA Rules Official AI, and CW Social.

Question 12

How much does ClubWatch Advanced cost?

Accepted Answer

ClubWatch Advanced includes a 30-day free trial with the purchase of a ClubWatch device, then costs $9.99/month or $8.33/month when paid annually. You can cancel anytime, and core club tracking is always free.

Question 13

Can I use ClubWatch without the Advanced subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Core ClubWatch features — club tracking, missing-club alerts via the app, and battery monitoring — work with no subscription required. ClubWatch Advanced layers premium features on top.

Question 14

How does Find My Club with GPS work?

Accepted Answer

When a club goes missing, tap Find My Club to see its last known GPS location on a map. The app opens Google Maps or Apple Maps with turn-by-turn directions back to the club.

Question 15

What is the AI Swing Analysis feature?

Accepted Answer

Record or upload a video of your golf swing and AI analyzes it in seconds, returning a Swing Score from 0 to 100 plus feedback on grip, backswing, hip turn, and follow-through — like a teaching pro in your pocket.

Question 16

What does the Digital Scorecard include?

Accepted Answer

Full digital scorecard with 50,000+ courses worldwide, multiple tee boxes, multi-player support, color-coded scoring, GHIN handicap integration with automatic posting, and shareable scorecards via text, email, or social media.

Question 17

What is the Rules Official AI?
