It's time you finally take the jump into adulthood and start playing the greatest sport in the history of the world: golf! Though you're going to struggle the first few years of playing golf, eventually you might figure it out. But you will certainly enjoy yourself every step of the way. Yes, it's a hard game, but it's extremely fun from when you're struggling to find your ball early on to finally sinking that 30-foot putt.
If you are new to the sport, you might not be fully aware of what you need in your golf bag. Here is an in-depth look at everything you'll need before your first season of golf:
-
Plenty of golf balls -- Whether you're a newbie or an experienced veteran, you always need to have a large number of golf balls inside your bag. Sometimes it's just not your day and you'll end up losing 10 to 12 balls in just a few holes. So make sure you have enough extras. Keep in mind that regulation golf balls must weigh less than 1.6 ounces.
-
Ball marker -- The most important part about golf is understanding golf etiquette. If you don't have a ball marker, you're going to anger the other people you're golfing with. Simply carry a few dimes or some personalized markers at all times inside your bag.
-
Golf ball washer towels -- Though there are ball washer setups on most courses, you should still carry a few of your own golf ball washer towels just in case. You never know when the weather is going to get a little rough, but you won't want the rain and mud to stop you from hitting the links. So have a few towels handy so you can keep your clubs and your balls clean.
- The essentials -- In addition to having golf balls and some towels, you'll, of course, need all of the essentials. Make sure your bag is stocked with tees of all sizes, a pen or highlighter to mark your balls, and, of course, all your clubs. And don't forget the putter!
