There are many golf bags available, some are designed for
fashion, because some utility and some that combine both
features. There are big bags, big bags and bags so
big that they would keep everything I need for a long
weekend vacation in one of the side pockets!
Generally, you need a bag just large enough
take your clubs, extra balls, your glove, tees, car
keys, extra pencils, ball markers, a ball collector,
sunscreen, a windbreaker and a large umbrella.
It is also a good idea to have a packet of tissues,
Band-Aid or two, and if you play courses where insects
are a problem, a can of insect repellent comes in very
handy.
A small packet of baby wipes come in very handy in your
bag they get warmed by the heat, but when you get
sweat or a sand trap covered you with sand, a beautiful
dry heat can be very refreshing.
I happen to be allergic to bees, wasps and hornets, so
my Epipen is an important addition to my bag. I am
also hypoglycemic so I keep rescuers, who must
be replaced several times throughout the year due
they tend to melt.
One point that need not be in your golf bag is
your cell phone. If you must wear it, turn off the
ringer as a courtesy to other players. If you must use
it, be aware of other people who could take a swing or
putting their ball. Be careful!
Having these items in your golf bag should provide
everything you need, even in an emergency minor
(like a bulb) or a disadvantage, as
sudden downpour. Being prepared makes the game a
process much more fun.
