Okay, so I went down a rabbit hole this weekend, trying to make sure I had all my ducks in a row for my next golf trip. I’m talking about golf bag accessories, those little things that can make or break a good round. Let me walk you through what I did.
First off, I emptied my entire golf bag on the living room floor. You wouldn’t believe the junk I found in there! Old scorecards, melted candy, and enough loose change to do a load of laundry. Cleared all that out and gave the bag a good vacuum.
Essentials I added
- Golf Balls: I know, it sounds obvious, but I wanted to make sure I had enough. I stocked up on my favorite brand, about two dozen of them. I always lose a few to the water hazards, so better safe than sorry.
- Tees: I grabbed a big bag of those wooden tees. I like the long ones for my driver and the short ones for irons.
- Ball Markers: I found a couple of cool ones I’d collected from different courses and tossed those in.
- Divot Tool: This is a must-have. I picked one up at a local golf shop years ago. It’s for fixing those little craters you make on the green when your ball lands.
- Sunscreen: Gotta protect yourself from the sun. I bought a new bottle of SPF 50. This should be in everyone’s golf bag.
- Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is key, especially on a hot day. I filled up my reusable water bottle.
Other Stuff I Thought About
I considered adding a few training aids. I have this alignment stick thing that I sometimes use, but I decided to leave it out this time. Just wanted to keep things simple.
Oh, and I almost forgot about a rain cover! Thankfully I remembered it. Last time I got caught in a downpour, everything in my bag was soaked. Not fun. I checked the weather forecast, and it looked good, but you never know.
Then, I carefully put each of the clubs into the bag one by one, making sure they were all snug and secure. I wiped down each club with a towel, making sure they were all clean and shiny. I placed my putter in its designated slot, and then I added my driver and fairway woods. Next, I arranged my irons in order, from the longest to the shortest.
Lastly, I added a small first aid kit, you know, just in case. Band-Aids, some antiseptic wipes, that kind of stuff. You never know when you might need it.
After I packed everything back in, I felt pretty good. Like I was ready to hit the links. It’s funny how these little things can give you peace of mind. Now I can focus on my game and not worry about whether I have enough tees or if I’ll get a sunburn.
Anyway, that’s how I spent my Sunday afternoon. Getting my golf bag in order. Hope this helps you get ready for your next round!
