Abstract
An alarm assembly for alerting a golfer whenever a golf club has been left behind includes a transponder unit attachable to the shaft of a golf club. The transponder unit is in selective communication with a remote unit attached to the golf bag or to the golfer. The remote unit is responsive to the transponder only within a predetermined range. The remote unit includes an audible and visual alarm, one of which is activated whenever the transponder is not within the predetermined range. The transponder unit is specifically configured such that it is only activated when attached to a golf club so as to not trigger false alarms when not in use.
