It is obvious to most golfers that these items should always be in your golf bag.  However, it constantly amazes me how golfers often get caught out on the course with only one golf towel, only one pair of socks, no umbrella, and my favorite, no raingear!  Below is a list of essential items in your golf bag, compiled by Joel Beall of Golf Digest for your future checklist before you go out and play.  “Most Americans ride in a cart, so the weight of these products should not matter!”  Go through this list and be more prepared the next time you go out to play!

Rain Gear

This includes jacket, pants, hat and rain gloves. Make sure you have a cover/hood for your bag so your sticks stay dry, too.

If you’re an avid golfer, you’re going to get end up in a storm on the course at some point.  Prepare yourself in advance.

 

First-Aid Kit

This includes ibroprufen, bandages, wraps, lip balm, even a small knife for getting out splinters.

 

Gloves

Three is a good number: One for practice, one for play and one in reserve.
