What To Pack For A Golf Trip
When you haven’t got the luxury of opening the boot and filling it with every last drop of your golfing bits then you have to be a bit more savvy. So from your travel bag itself to the contents of it we’ve got you covered.
Below are some of the best golf accessories that you should think about getting for your next golf trip. Also we recommend checking out our post on the best golf luggage and best golf travel bags as well.
What To Pack For A Golf Trip
Sun Mountain Club Glider Meridian Wheeled Travel Cover
This is an outstanding piece of kit and, if you do get your hands on one, you’ll wonder why you’ve never tried one before. The integrated leg set, which retracts easily, supports 100 per cent of the weight so, when you’re facing a lengthy walk to the car park or arriving at your accommodation, transporting your clubs around couldn’t be easier.
Inside there’s just the right space to pack your clubs, shoes and a few bits of clothing without your clubs rattling round and, because of the wheels, things will never feel too heavy. It’s all plenty durable with a ‘ballistic-style’ nylon heavy padding to protect your clubs. There are various choices in this excellent range with the Glider Pro being a larger option.

The ProDry Sport socks from FootJoy are all about comfort. They take up no space in the bag and could make your day a lot more enjoyable.

They are made from a combination of acrylic, polyester, spandex and nylon to give a soft feel and moisture management.
You’re going to be playing a lot of golf so why not, while you’re tucking into too much food and drink at lunch, treat yourself to a new pair of socks for the afternoon round and put a new spring in your step.

PuttOUT Mirror Training Gate
If you’re serious about your putting or are going to have a lot of spare time on your hands then the PuttOUT mirror will help you to work on your alignment and positioning.
You can set the width of the magnetic guides to check you’re in the right set-up position and it also comes with a stand-alone putting gate so you have something to aim at. And there’s no need to secure it as a durable rubber casing keeps everything in place without the need for tees.

Kinesiology Tape
Another banker on any trip is that you’re going to face some aches and pains. So while everyone is passing round the painkillers why not include some tape to help to reduce pain and reduce any swelling.
The beauty of this is that it gently encourages the body to behave naturally and, once applied, it can last up to five days to provide dynamic support as well as providing a reminder of how to carry yourself.

Extension Cable
Bear with me. When you’re in your B&B and you’re sharing a room and there’s just one socket then you’ll be glad that you’ve packed this. There’s all sorts of tech help available to us these days so if you want to keep your trolley, GPS, iPhone and iPad all ticking along nicely then this will be a most welcome addition.
Bungee Cords
Likewise remind yourself of all the times when you’ve got a pull trolley for the day and spent large chunks of it wrestling your trolley up or down any sort of slope. These are always going to come in handy so pop a couple in your golf bag and keep them there so your trip isn’t spoilt by something so simple.
