Everything we can possibly think of that should go in your golf bag

gulf bag

• What\'s in the bag: The Essentials

• 14 Clubs

• (At least) Six golf balls: If you\'re golf game is a little loose like mine, maybe keep your stash 50/50 between new and used. Personally, any fewer than six balls in my bag and I\'m dripping sweat while clutching my driver. 

• Three headcovers for woods and hybrids

• A dozen or so tees

• One golf glove

• Accessories

• Bag tag with your name: It certainly helps at the bag drop, especially for group outings). 

• 2 towels: a big one for clubs and a small towel to keep in your back pocket for the green is handy on dewey mornings.

• Divot repair tool

• Ball marker: if you don\'t have a lucky coin by now, you\'re doing it wrong.

• Mini-Sharpie: Or else how will you truly know if it\'s your Pinnacle in the fairway?

• Protective pouch: For watches or other items that could scratch when in a golf bag.

• Driver adjustment tool

• First Aid

• Sunscreen 

• Lip balm (especially for the desert or mountain courses) 

• Band-Aids (for blisters)

• Bug Repellent

• Bottle (or travel pack) of painkillers

• 2 packaged foods (nothing that will spoil)

• Foul weather preparedness

• Optional depending on the season and forecast. If you don\'t want to keep it all in your bag, consider keeping these items together in a smaller, easy-to-access bag.

• Wet weather  

• Set of rain gloves

• Rain club cover

• Rain jacket

• Pair of rain pants

• Umbrella (This is the subject of much debate: I say for links or cart golf, you don\'t need it, but if walking a parkland, yes).

• Waterproof baggie: Good for valuables, phones, wallet, etc.

• Cold weather

• Set of winter gloves

• Under shirt or arm warmers

• Jacket

• Handwarmer packs

• Wool cap that covers the ear

• Social golf novelties

• Koozie: We don\'t condone "packing in" your own booze but B.Y.O.Koozie is essential.

• Insulated Cup: Yeti and Tervis do good work.

• Softcover cooler bag: Some courses provide their own, but many don\'t.

• Pack of business cards: Because you never know who you\'ll be paired up with.

• Some cash in small bills. For tips, beverage cart and bets.

• Bottle opener

• Tech

• Bluetooth Speaker

• Rangefinder (or wearable GPS unit).

• Mobile Swing analyzer/trackman: In some cases, this could simply be an app on your phone. 

• GoPro and selfie stick

• Portable phone charger or Extra USB cord for golf cart: More and more golf carts are installing USB outlets, but I\'ve realized it\'s pointless if you leave your USB in the car.

• Driving range training aid: The Orange Whip seems to be a pretty common sight these days in golf bags, or alignment sticks.
