Must-Haves List
I AM PART OF A GROUP OF 48
GUYS THAT GO on an annual
golf trip every summer. It is
something that I look forward to
every year. The memories that
are created are life-long and
even life altering.
There are, however, some
necessities required if you plan
on playing 36 holes a day for
multiple days.
Ladies have the make-up bag,
men have their own personal
necessities, right Guys?
Some of these things are
somewhat obscure and may
only be thought of after having
painful experiences from not
having them on hand. I will save
you some trouble by letting you
know what things you need to
bring.
B RAIN GEAR – It is important
to have this because no matter
what, at some point during your
golf trip, a hurricane will show
up. This hurricane may be brief
or it may last an entire day.
Rain gear will keep you relatively
dry. It will not, however, keep
you from being miserable. I
think beer is the only cure for
that during a hurricane on the
golf course.
C GOLD BOND POWDER –
This is for you guys. You know
what it’s for. We have all used it
at some point. When your thighs
feel like two pieces of sandpaper
rubbing against each other, this
seems to be the only thing that
provides relief. Keep it handy
and in your bag. It may save you
from the fire down below during
the dog days of summer.
D USB PORTS THAT CLIP
ON TO A BATTERY – This is a
relatively new item that I carry in
my bag. It allows me to charge
my phone and speaker off of the
Golf Cart battery. (SHHHHH….
don’t tell the Ranger.) Some of
them may frown on my stealing
their power but a man has to
jam out on the course. THE
PLAYLIST MUST BE PLAYED!
E ATHLETIC TAPE – When
playing a lot of golf in a short
period of time, your hands tend
to do some crazy things. They
feel the need to blister, crack and
bleed all over the place. Tape is
a lifesaver for your hands and
will prevent you from looking
like a crazy person yelling at
your hands for being stupid on
the golf course.
