Golf Bag accesories

I was just wondering, besides basics, what else would be beneficial to put in your golf bag

Hi James,

Great Thread i'm sure everyone can fill us in with "WHATS IN YOUR BAG"


Apart from the nesessities I carry plenty of water not pop and some fruit usually bananas, I also carry my yardage chart, on it are numbers from all parts of each hole on my home course, this is for when I have reached the green easy with no wind in the past, this helps with club selection.

I also carry baby wipes in summer to keep my hands and face fresh, when it's hot in the UK you sweat.



Ian.

I have a little make shift first aid kit - band aids, pain killers, hydrogen peroxide, etc - you never know what may happen. I also carry sun screen and bug repelant.

Well i got like

Golf glove ( spare )
Winter Mits
Handwarmers
Drink ( water )
Some food ( ie choclate as im a kid )
Pens , score card , yardage book
Thats all and the other golf things

I accessorize with a towel, a cool watch - it's a carabeaner with a watch built in, bug dope, SPF 50 sunscreen, and two 1L bottles of water. But my favourite accessories are balls and tees (I've got a little caddy that holds two balls and 6 tees, and 3 ball markers).

I carry the following in my bag:

long tees and short tees (all wooden with my name on them)
a few ball markers (about the size of a quarter, also with my name on them)
a dozen golf balls (I use Top Flite Tour Ace golf balls)
3 gloves (I use Etonic Tour cabretta leather gloves, Ladies Large size)
a pitchfork
a groove brush
R&A rule book.

3 pencils with erasers on the end (also with my name on)
a black sharpie marker to mark my golf balls and to sign autographs
a set of black & brown shoe laces

I carry 6 replacement soft spikes for my Adidas AD75 golf shoes

6 band aids
6 headache tablets
6 throat lozenges
a small pack of tissues
a tube of lip balm
a tube of sunscreen
a small tube of disinfectant cream
a spare set of sunglasses (normally with yellow lenses to interchange with the black ones fitted in my playing sunglasses). I use OTC Spire II's. I use yellow lenses in the early morning or late in the afternoon and on dullish days.

1 litre Water
1 litre of Energy drink
a few Bite size chocolates
a few energy bars
a banana or two

Um, some days with variable weather I will also take a sleeveless pullover and a waterproof top.

Geez, what else ...

Oh yes, my golf note book for measurements, notes I make about clubs I hit, breaks on the green, sketches of the green complexes and stuff.

Geez, what else ...

In my locker room bag I also have a spare set of Adidas AD75 shoes, a pair of pants, a shirt, a sewing kit, a spare cap, a dozen golf balls. In the car I carry 2 or 3 spare drivers, 4 or 5 wedges and a few other clubs I might want to change before I go out and paly.

When I played on tour, I also kept a spare set of Cleveland irons in the car just in case.

Lol alot of stuff what tour did you play?

Yeah ... it is a lot of stuff. Fully loaded, my golf weighs in at around 30kgs (66lbs). I use a plain black 10" Tour bag with my name on the front and "Kelrosa Golf Studios" (the name of my company).

I still play the Formax Tour and the Pro-Am Series here. I've played a few of the mini tours in America and in Europe. I've tried to PQ for the British Open twice and failed both times. I've also played a few events on the South American Tour (Tour de las Americas).

I don't play as much these days because travel has become very expensive. Once I move to the UK, I will start to play again and probably play 12-16 events a year while I take a break from teaching and take my family on holiday.

Nice! were abouts in england you goin to?

My friends all kid me bacause I always have so much fruit, nuts, power bars, cracker and power drinks in my bag. They kid me until about the back nine when they see me eating then they all want some of my stuff.

I carry round a picture of the wife, reminds me when i am playing bad or on rainy days, why i am there in the first place.

That's a great thing to have with you. Yep, it puts golf into perspective.

I carried a picture of my wife and children with me once in a tournament on the South African tour. I shot 72-71 and missed the cut by 1. That was the first and only time I carried the picture.

Given all the stuff in your bag, where do you keep the clubs?

That's why pros have those BIG fancy-looking bags and caddies!

If I carried it myself I'd leave everything out except for a few irons, maybe my driver and 3 golf balls. I'd use my shoe as a pitch repairer to cut on weight!

I'm wondering whether it's just a foible of mine but I hate plastic tees so only ever use wooden ones. Is it just me?
