As long as the weather is beautiful and the course is in good condition, there are only a few things necessary to play golf: clubs, balls and a few t-shirts. But things are never perfect, and there are a few articles that I always bring with me during the course that helps me even enjoy my round.
Divot Pitchfix repair tool, $ 15.97
Instead of collecting hats on lessons I visit, I started collecting them a few years ago because I am one of those players who repair their ball brand (and all the other ball brands that I see) on the Greens. I want more people to do it too. A few strokes and twist in the ground with a pitchfix pliers and the work is done. The magnetic ball marker makes it even better.
Ultimate Ears Mini Roll, $ 79
I had an original speaker, which had the same design but was larger, but I left it on a cart a few years ago. These days, I leave this mini roll on my bag and I still enjoy it. The oversized pimples facilitate the obtaining of the volume, even with a golf glove, and its battery lasts all day.
Arccos Link Pro, $ 249
I play with Arccos sensors (sold separately) in my clubs for more than a decade, and the data helped me play and train more intelligently. Using Link Pro, I don’t need to transport my phone in my pocket while I play or do something else for the system to work. The configuration is easy, it connects to Arccos sensors perfectly, and it transmits all my shots to the application for Arccos smartphone without my having nothing.
Bushnell Tour V6 Shift, $ 399.99
There are more recent and more sophisticated laser beach devices, but I used it for a while and I like the clarity of the optics, the speed and the way it facilitates yarding. The slope function is useful, it vibrates in your hand when it zaps a flag, is water resistant and the magnet on the side is shocking.
Sparms Solar Sleeves, $ 32.99
Birdies are good; Skin cancer is bad. I noticed a lot of caddies by using them a few years ago, so I bought a pair and now keep them in my golf bag at any time. I wear a hat and I use a sunscreen before playing, even on cloudy days, but these sleeves facilitate protection, and the material actually makes me cooler on really hot days.
