For the Novice - Plumbing the Depths of Your Golf Bag

There is a myriad variety of golf bags available suitable for both the experienced golfer and also the beginner. Now, if you are a novice to golf, in addition to determining what type of golf bag you should have, you are probably also wondering just what exactly goes into a golf bag.

The most basic requirements you need to carry with you during a game of golf are your golf clubs (obviously), spare golf balls (in case you lose the one you’re playing with), tee’s, ball markers, pen/pencil, a golf glove and I also find handy a small towel (to clean your clubs or ball when required).

As well, most golfers who have played for any length of time have also been subject to the whims of the weather and have realized that it’s also a good idea to carry an umbrella and wet weather gear for when it starts raining and a hat and sunscreen for the sunnier days.

Tissues and/or baby wipes are also handy for cleaning sweaty hands and foreheads along with a couple of band-aids in case of blisters. During the summer months a can of insect repellent can be your best friend.

As you’ll be playing in the outdoors in a natural environment, allergies can be a bit of a problem. So if you get asthma or hay fever, it’s a good idea to carry your asthma reliever spray and antihistamine. If you happen to be diabetic, it’s a good idea to have some jelly beans on hand and a bottle of water to prevent dehydration.

One of the things you definitely don’t need to carry in your golf bag is your cell phone. A phone ringing right when you or your playing partner is about to take their swing can be very annoying and frustrating. If you must have it with you then leave it turned off for the duration of your round.

It’s easy to understand now why golf bags are so big and why they have so many pockets :) By being prepared and organized, you should be well equipped to handle just about any contingency that may arise whilst on the golf course….
