Abstract
Methods and apparatuses related to golf club grips with attached or embedded RFID tags are described. In an embodiment, a RFID tag is attached to or embedded into a golf club grip and a RFID reader incorporated into a personal computing device may read or capture information associated with the RFID tag. The device may be configured to provide notifications to the golfer based on the captured information.

- receiving an input specifying a regrip condition;
- and
- providing, in response to the regrip condition being met, a notification indicating the golf grip is due for replacement.
