What Should Be in Your Golf Bag-

Whether you are walking the golf course or riding in a golf cart, there are many items that you should carry in your golf bag. We will get right to it. Items to carry in your golf bag include:

Sunscreen - Just face it, no matter what part of the country that you live in, you must protect yourself against the harmful rays of the sun. Even on days that to you are not that hot. The damaging rays are still getting to your skin. I have seen fair-skinned people turn red on a cloudy day! Check with your doctor on how strong of a SPF you need to protect yourself. Sunscreen now comes in many different forms now to make it easy to carry with you and to apply during your round of golf.

Golf Hat - Your golf hat will work in conjunction with your sunscreen to protect your skin against damage from the sun. In addition, a golf hat will keep the sweat out of your eyes on the brutally hot days. Ladies a golf hat will also allow you to keep your hair out of your face whether the wind is blowing or not.

Baggie for Golf Gloves - These is an easy and cheap way to make your golf gloves last longer. Keeping your golf gloves in a baggie will keep them all in one place and with the baggie sealed your golf gloves will last longer.

Golf Training Aids - This is obviously easier to do if you are riding in a golf cart and have a cart bag or a staff bag. It also depends on the golf training aids that you are using. For example, if you are using an extra shaft to work on your turn, the weight will not bother you even if you are walking and carrying your bag. Conversely, some of the putting training aids get vary bulky and would be difficult to fit into a golf bag.

Ball Markers - If you are like me I use loose change as my ball makers. I like using the quarters of the states that I have visited. Goofy, I know but it keeps me off the streets. HAHA It always seems I need extra change around the club as well. You might collect ball markers from the golf courses that you have played and a second baggie will help keep them in one place and not damage them as well.

Golf Balls - This seems obvious that you would carry golf balls in your golf bag but you would be surprised! Also, if you are playing in a tournament with a one ball rule this becomes important. With this rule, you can not just pull the ball out of your pocket that you found on the last hole, drop it and play it. The ball you put into play after hitting a ball out of bounds or into the water must be the same type that you were playing with before. The number can be different on it but that is about it.

Again, this is a quick list of things you should carry in your golf bag. The more you play you will develop you own standards to carry in your bag as it will differ depending on the area of the country in which you reside.
