1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed cause a near field communication (NFC) enabled device to perform a method comprising:
- detecting, by an NFC enabled device, a presence of an NFC tag coupled with a golf grip;
determining whether a regrip condition of the golf grip is met based on the detecting; and
providing, in response to determining the regrip condition is met, a notification indicating the golf grip is due for replacement.
