Every golfers’ bag will look different. Whether you’re using a cart bag, stand bag, carry bag or otherwise, each has its distinct features for varying carrying options. No matter what type of bag you carry, there are items that are essential depending on the elements, the course and, in some cases, who your caddy is.
Mandatory Items to Carry in Any Golf Bag
Golf Balls – With a variety of golf balls made from different manufacturers, golfers sometimes have their preferences in ball. Carrying a dozen balls is common in golf bags but some have been known to apply up to 2 dozen or more to have variety. It is common to lose some golf balls while playing the course so having a few extra would never hurt.
Golf Glove – Golf gloves help prevent blisters and cuts on your hand when you golf. Gloves don’t take up that much room so having a pair or two is a good idea.
Tees – An essential item in a golf bag are tees. It doesn’t require a lot of space and you can carry copious amounts in case you tear up a few on the course.
Golf Towel or Rag – When the elements are not on your side, carrying a golf towel or rag can make a big difference. Easy enough to carry and lightweight, it’s important to clean off or dry your clubs during the course of play.
Golf Clubs – Every golfer has golf clubs in their bags. Depending on the type of golf bag will depend on how many golf clubs you can physically carry. Most golf bags can carry up to 14 clubs but you certainly don’t have to carry the whole assortment. Common clubs in a golf bag are a driver, fairway woods, irons, wedges and a putter. Some golfers opt to carry multiple club types.
Optional Items to Carry in Any Golf Bag
