I always say that I'm not superstitious at all, however, this thread makes me realize that I do have one:  I cannot ever put an extra ball in my pocket.**  Even if it's a hole where there's a great chance at an OB and it's a really long walk from the cart back to the tee - I feel like I'm setting myself up for and/or admitting failure when I do that.  :)

For me, it's pretty similar to many except for that:

Front left:  2 or 3 ball markers, divot repair tool, pencil if walking.

Front Right:  5 or 6 tees

Back Right:  Aimpoint chart and yardage book, scorecard as well if walking.

Back left:  Glove when not wearing it.

 

** One exception is when I've hit a provisional and I find the first one so I put the provisional in my pocket and sometimes I'll forget about it for a few holes.

I'm going to leave the provisional ball in my bag for a few rounds and see how that works for me.  I'll either add a lot more steps to my day or hopefully hit better drives.

Front left: sometimes phone.

Front right: tees, ball marker, divot tool, extra ball.

Back right: Aimchart, scorecard, pencil.

Back left: nothing.

I carry my glove and leave it on the top of my bag when I'm not wearing it. If I leave it in my pocket it doesn't get a chance to air out.

What kind of phone do you have?  I have a 6+ and find it too big and heavy to keep in my pocket while golfing.  I like the bigger screen and longer battery life but am thinking I'll downsize just so it's more comfortable to keep in my pocket while playing golf.

Just the regular 6. I walk around with it in my front pocket all day anyway, so while I wish it were lighter, I'm used it at this point.

Bare bones, and nothing in any other pocket but front right, can't get my glove hand in the left.

Just a divot tool, ball marker and Golf Buddy GPS on my belt.

Thanks, I walk around with mine all the time too but the 6+ is just heavy and moves around a lot during my golf swing which is just another distraction I don't need.

Flask in left rear

100% sympathize. Phone size tradeoffs suck.

Wait, people here keep 2nd balls in their pocket? I would hate that feeling.

[xcott]

scotty cameron ball repair tool (so good)

extra ball

Maybe a tee (usually have them in cap near ear

Did have ball marker but got a magnetic hat one and it's 1000x better and I never forget it or lose it like in the past with pocket ones.

[Natural Patrick]

Front right. a repair tool, ball marker and 1 tee.

Front left, nothing

Right rear, nothing

Left rear, nothing

[Hardspoon]

As little as possible.

Front Left: Combo repair tool/ball marker

...and that's all, folks. Everything else is in my bag or the cart if I'm riding. If I am riding, I'll bring my phone out to my ball to check the distance...back-right pocket.

I actually want to get/make a putter-head cover with an attachment for a repair tool and ball marker, so I can be completely empty-pocketed except when on the green (something like http://readyputt.com)

[MizunoPez]

left pocket - ball marker

right pocket - broken wooden tee, pitch mark repairer and small pocket sized brush to clean grooves between shots.

back left pocket - scorecard holder 

 

Always keep tees in right pocket as I hate it when you put a glove on and then forget to take the tee out of your pocket first...

When golfing I hate stuff in my pockets for the most part. My tees hang from doodad on my bag. Balls are in a top compartment on my bag. Combo ball marker/divot tool clips on the bill of my hat. Pencil is in my shirt pocket. The only things I keep in my pockets are my wallet, and the score card. 

I use to carry a $5K poker chip in my pocket from an out of business casino. I used it to mark my ball. It wasn't worth anything. I used it until someone complained it was too big.

repair tool, provisional ball just in case, a couple tees. I hardly ever break them and Car keys.

[boogielicious]

Right pocket. Ball marker, repair tool, ball and tee.

Left pocket: sometimes my phone if I am using Arccos or Scorecard during the round.

Back right pocket: AimPoint chart if I am not using Express. 

[Yukari]

As minimum as possible. 

Left Pocket: nothing. 
Right Pocket: Divot repair tool, and no more than 2 tees. 

For par-3s, I use any of the broken tees on the tee box.
