Essential Golf Accessories That Need To Be In Your Golf Bag
Here is a rundown of everything that NEEDS to be in your golf bag for the start of your next round:
Clubs
This is an obvious one… but it still needed to be said. Purchasing your first set of clubs can be pretty overwhelming and pricey. I recommend purchasing used clubs from one of the many online retailers. If you get a newer model of clubs, most likely you can get some that are barely used at a huge discount. It will make the learning experience much easier knowing that you didn’t have to spend an arm and a leg to begin your golf journey.
2. Balls
This one is also pretty obvious. Check out this page (Golf Balls) to look into some of the top brands and what golf balls they have to offer. Each ball caters to different parts of the golf game, and it is important to find the ball that you are most confident with.
3. Tees
A necessity for every hole you will play. On par 3’s you can pick up short broken tees from the tee box, but on your drives you want to make sure that you have enough quality tees. Tees that are both long enough and durable enough are the most desired. I recommend buying a large pack of plastic tees that are sure to last for years of golf.
4. Glove
The glove is something that seems to be overlooked by new golfers. Having a quality golf glove provides increased grip on the club, especially during inclement weather. It’s common practice to take your glove off while putting, but everywhere else on the course the golf glove provides important benefits that lead to productive golf shots.
5. Shoes
Similar to a golf glove, purchasing proper golf shoes is something typically overlooked. The best golf shoes provide stability during a golf shot, and are designed to ensure maximum comfort while you’re walking all over the golf course during your round. I personally have shoes with spikes, but many others have had success with un-spiked shoes as well. Compare and contrast different brands of golf shoes here.
6. Divot Fixer
One of the main rules in golf: If you take care of the course, the course will take care of you. When approaching the green, you not only want to fix the divot that your own approach shot just made, but also fix other divots that you see around the green. Making fixing divots a habit increases the quality of play for yourself and all others that will be playing after you.
7. Ball Marker
Marking your ball on the green not only helps out the people that you’re playing with, but it also makes it look like you’ve been there before. There are millions of ball makers that you can buy which allows for you to add a little bit of personality to your golf game with a themed ball marker.
8. Range Finder (optional)
A range finder is truly optional due to the high prices. However, many courses don’t have accurate yardage readings, or maybe have no yardage markers at all. A range finder gets you more comfortable with knowing exactly how far you hit each club and it allows for the most efficient attack at every hole. Range finders are a great investment and will undoubtedly improve your golf game over time.
