- A ziploc bag with bandaids in case I or anyone in my group is more than mentally wounded.

- A ziploc bag with about 25 tee's in case I or anyone in my group forgets to load up on tee's before the round.

- A ziploc bag with about 10 cheap, plastic ball markers in case I get stuck with the guy who forgot his ball marker and keeps using a tee pushed into the ground behind where his ball came to rest on the green and is now dangerously close to someone elses line.

- A ziploc bag containing a few extra, cheap divot repair tools for the guy who is finally hitting some greens and won't repair the crater 1 foot behind their ball.

- A spike remover and a few extra spikes of different make (ie. different screw in types).

Large side pocket:

- Umbrella - ever try to remove an umbrella where the spokes have gone below the height of the bag inserts but is just tall enough to be wedged in there tighter than a ducks arse? This is a good way to waste an hour or so.

- Wet suit - just in case

- Extra shirt - just in case

- Extra socks - Not just in case. Even on a cold winter day a fresh pair of socks after a round is happiness for your hind paws.

- An extra dozen balls because sometimes I play with guys who shoot '105', never making a par in a round, but use 30 balls.

- Thermos of ice water on hot days.

Medium size back pocket.

- Extra new gloves for those really hot days

- Ziploc with baggie full of batteries for GPS

- Extra pencils

- Cigars, cigarettes, lighters and cigar cutters (sure I should give em up but I won't)

- Gatorade/Powerade bottle stuffed on top of everything else.

I am probably missing a few items.

My bag is full. Yes, a bag is made to hold things. For example my bag is made to hold 14 clubs comfortably. Yet each and (almost) every time I miss a green I pull four clubs from my bag (putter and 3 wedges). I almost always have at least one extra ball in my pants each and every time I step on the tee. I surely could walk back to my bag and get a different club or grab another ball if I need it. After all that is what a bag is for right? I find it better to just pull all 4 clubs each and every time and carry a provisional almost always. YMMV.

TLDR - I would rather have items I use frequently on my person rather than stashed in a bag that may or may not be a short distance away.

Don't forget to add a rope and grappling hook just in case you fall into a sinkhole.

Best Regards,
Ryan

In that case, don't forget an underwater flashlight.

i stopped buying tees - i take one out of my bag at hole #1 and then can find them laying around throughout the round. i don't tee it up very high, so broken tees work, too.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
