[If you have an iPhone think about hiding an AirTag on/in your bag somewhere...]

I've lost 2 rangefinders by leaving them in/on the cart at clubs and I got a strap and stuffed an AirTag inside. Now I know when I've left it behind and where it's at. 
I have another tag "hidden" inside my golf bag. Clubs are expensive and if somehow someone walks away with them my iphone will help me find them. Thankfully I haven't had to use either but it's a good peace of mind.

This story out of Arizona is interesting:

SUN CITY WEST (3TV/CBS 5) - A Sun City West golf club got payback over the weekend after it was robbed twice in the past few months. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said thieves swiped around 12 sets of golf clubs early Sunday morning but what the thieves didn’t know was that an AirTag, a small Apple product that tracks its whereabouts, was in two of those golf bags. Briarwood general manager Phil Stika used the AirTag to track the stolen clubs and bags, which took him to a south Phoenix neighborhood. “I was looking for cars that had golf clubs stacked in a pickup truck or something,” said Stika. “When I looked inside the window and found the members name on the bag and the logo of the club, I actually giggled.”

New feature on AirTags alerts thieves that an AirTag is “present”. That’s a good thing is you are being stalked. It’s a good thing if the cart washer is honest and really wants to find the real owner and if they have an iPhone.  Lots of ifs. The best practice is if the golf club has a clear policy to return lost items to front desk. It’s saved me from losing my rangefinder several times.
