Find Your Golf Club
An international lost-and-found platform for golf clubs: anyone who loses or finds a club reports it in two minutes – free, anonymous, no account. AI-assisted matching compares loss and find reports and notifies both sides automatically by email.
Challenge
Lost golf clubs end up in lost-property boxes and are never collected – there was no central, trustworthy place to bring losses and finds together. The barrier had to be radically low: no registration, no app, every language.
Solution
A report form that takes two minutes – with automatic photo recognition of brand and club type. AI matching (scoring across brand, type, location, date and description) connects matching reports. Proof of ownership before every handover builds trust. Plus a club portal for golf clubs, printable QR tags, a live board and 24 languages.
Result
A live platform with more than 7,300 golf courses listed, 23 active partner clubs across 9 countries and reports coming in – conceived, designed and developed entirely by KONO Digital: branding, UX, frontend, backend and operations. (figures as of 09/2026)
The decisions behind it
It was not the technology that decided it, but the questions before it. A report without an account, because every registration loses users. Proof of ownership before any handover, because in a trust market nobody hands a club to a stranger. And mobile handling that works while someone is standing in the car park.
The actual difficulty
The form was never the hard part – matching was. Whoever finds a club describes it in their language, whoever lost it in another, often with different terms for brand and model. Both sides have to find each other without knowing each other and without creating an account first. And still, before any handover, it has to be settled who the club belongs to.
