There is a lot of gear for golf that you really need to have and your golf bag is important as it’s in this that you’ll need to carry all the essential equipment you need.
Golf bags are available in a multitude of choices from fashionable to utilitarian or a combination of both. You can choose large bags, huge bags or bags so humongous you could pack for a weekend away! All you really need is a golf bag with just large enough for your clubs and extra balls with added pockets to carry tees, gloves, ball markers and essentials like sunscreen and an umbrella.
Toss in a can of insect repellent, a travel pack of tissues and a couple of band-aids for a quick fix to minor problems. Another pocket can hold a pack of baby wipes which can be very refreshing if you get sweaty or covered in sand from a sand trap.. If you are allergic to bees or wasps an Epipen is a must have addition to your bag. Hard candy can come in handy on a long day on the course, especially if you suffer from hypoglycemia as I do.
Out of all the gear for golf that you feel the need to take there is one item you don’t need to find room for and that’s your cell phone. If you absolutely cannot be without it, be courteous to others by turning off the ringer. In the event that you must make a call, distance yourself from other players who are in the midst of putting or driving so you don’t distract them.
Choosing a bag with ample room for all the gear for golf will ensure you’re prepared! Having all these items makes you ready to face everything from blisters and bug bites to sunburn or rain. Golf is a lot more fun when you arrive ready and able to take on any conditions!
