Cleveland has launched a new high-tech Golf Bag which includes technology that counts the number of clubs.  The V-14 includes electronic sensors (or “club count technology” as Cleveland is calling it) which takes stock of the number of clubs and will alert the player when one has not been replaced.

Cleveland say the bag will be particularly useful when a player takes a wedge and a putter to the far side of the green and inadvertently leaves the wedge behind when holing out.  I guess it could also save that embarrassing situation when a member of the group behind you is good enough to return the your club and you run toward one another like something from a romantic Hollywood, beach scene.

As well as the usual pockets and storage you would expect from a golf bag the system is activated with a simple on-off switch which then chirps and emits an LED light when a club is not returned.

My only question is will the bag detect if you have more than the permitted number of 14 clubs? If so, would this technology have saved Ian Woosnam at the 2001 British Open, when he was forced to call a two-stroke penalty on himself, after his caddy helpfully pointed out they were carrying two Drivers…….in addition to 13 other clubs?
