gear in your bag!

[hawkeye]

what do you have in your golf bag (apart from clubs and balls....)

my motto (scout leader ) is "be prepared"

• bag of wodden tees (usually pick up small ones for non-driver shots)
• pitch mark repairers
• pencils (lots!)
• mittens
• wool hat (when it's cold)
• baseball hat (when it rains/sun)
• rain hat (when it rains)
• wind cheater
• waterproof jacket
• waterproof trousers
• dry bag (for car keys, mobile phone, wallet)
• umbrella (it rains everyday here!)
• waterproof bag cover (saves you putting wet bag in car & drying it out later)
• windstopper fleece
• earphones - plug into my phone when practicing

Also, depending on the whether it's a serious/social game:

• Fruit
• energy drinks
• water
• energy bars
• chocolate

.... Yeah I know, California sucks

Dear Diary,

I hate California. It's sunny and warm and perfect for golf almost every day. (Tear Drop Stains) I was going to go golfing today but it was too beautiful so I stayed inside and watched TV until my eyeballs fell out. And there are way to many hot girls here so I decided to lock myself in the basement and throw away the key. Boo Hoo (More tear drop stains) Just Kidding . Lucky You, there's 3 inches of snow here and no sign of it stopping

Dear Diary,

It stunk two weekends ago when we got rained out. Other than the 1st weekend of the new year, I think the last time weather prevented me from going out was back in Mar07. This past weekend....mid70's and played in shorts. This weekend...it is going to be cold as there won't be any cloud cover to hold the warmth...forecasted for high60's.

[hawkeye]

knew i'd forget a few:

• R&A; Rules (updated)
• sunscreen (for the 3 days sunshine we get here)
• handwarmers
• lip balm - vital in cold weather
• towel and spare towel

yeah it's quite heavy - i don't generally carry it. If it's cold i'll put on the waterproofs and carry a light bag. But most of the year i'd bring everything and take things out of weather forecast was good (risky!)

Man, that pretty much covers it. Maybe a pint of hooch for your partner's hangover.

Oh how I'd like to complain because it's ONLY going to get into the 60's. It's ONLY going to be in the 30's this weekend I think.

One of these days it's going to warm up. I'm sure.

Well, I'm ready. I'm about 3 cigarettes up 33 in Picktown. Today's forecast says we start at 25 and drop to around zero by midnight. Valley View tomorrow? We could drive a lot of par 4s.
