Pre season bag clean up!!

[HomerJSimpson]

Just got everything out of my trolley bag for a tidy up.

32 pencils
24 sharpies
9 pitch forks
17 ball markers

Thats before the usual balls, gloves and tees.

What a mess... bet some of you are worse!

Why? Just why? I did smile when I read this earlier today. I have a trolley bag so the trolley takes the strain. My biggest problem is how many balls I have in the bag at any one time, followed by gloves. On Saturday when I took everything out as the bag got damp I had 26 balls of varying makes and 9 gloves

Now that made me laugh 32 pencils? I can barely find one.

I play with a bloke who never has one. I've no idea how there were so many in the bag!

 

[Boomy]

OMG I must be so bag OCD organised ? My tees, markers, pencils, pitch repairer etc all go in a little pouch. There are 5 x £1 coins lose in a pocket though ? #rebel

I decided to get organised this year, have put all my bits into a pouch, put a first aid kit in my bag, only carry my winter yellow golf balls (I carry too many 20+) any balls I find go into my practice bag.

Crikey! I could have wrote that to describe me as well. Good to be organised ?

First aid kit ???,

 

[HarrogateHacker]

First aid kit ???,

I’m probably overselling it!! It’s painkillers mainly!! I still don’t know what’s happened to me, have always been the type to have to jog to the first and borrow a Tee, and pencil and ball marker…

It’s old age mate ?

I find more balls than I lose and no matter how good or bad they are I chuck em in the bag. I had a clear out last week and gave 2 dozen to a mate that can lose them faster than they come off the production line. I keep Pro Vs and give him the rest. I also cleared out about 30 pink castle tees that I do not use. Too short for driver and too long for a 3 wood. I have never met anybody that has owned up to buying these yet they must be the most used tee of any kind.

Well here's one - I have bought and use the pink tees. Contrary to what you've said, I find they are the perfect driver height for me and loads of others. They're also the ones I find the most, consequently the last time I had to buy any was probably 3 or 4 years ago.

First aid kit ???,

I carry a little plastic tupperware box first aid kit as well. Plasters, pain killers, antihistamine, scissors, loperamide (which PP's have needed more than I have)

Oh for the organisation. I have a few blister packs off paracetemol and ibuprofen whose contents are of uncertain age and usefulness. I would have to be pretty bad before taking them.

I recently sold one of my bags and that had at least 20 pencils in one of the pockets. We have a box on the first tee with tees, pencils and score cards, so know how I ended up with that many. I shudder to think how many are in my other bag

I go through the box every 6-8 weeks to either top it up or check dates. I put plasters on several fingers when I hit balls to protect them so always putting more in. I make sure if I cut strips of tablets off to fit that I put the bit with the use by date on so I can keep tabs.

I use an old leather 90s golf bag. The lack of space in it compared to modern bags means I carry out alot less junk.

Could still do with a bit of a spring clean mind you.

Nothing worse than a melted soft mint at the bottom of the bag getting everything in its path sticky.

It sounds to me like you have been stealing his pencils over a long period of time.

I sort mine out every few months and did it again last week. I stumbled across a pocket that I have never found before ! - Well I say never, I'd obviously found it once as it had a mouldy rules pocket book from 2011 in it that I have been lugging round for 10 years+ !!

Good idea but it is just way to organised for me. I have to confess I don't usually use sell by dates anyway, painkillers go in and either get used or chucked out if they look to scabby and I remember.

Painkillers usually for my glass back but funny how often a PP complains of a headache or runny nose in hayfever season and so easy to given them something for it. Had several PP's out in new golf shoes and got blisters so plasters gave a tiny bit of comfort.

Make me number 2 for buying pink castle tees. Perfect for driver any higher and I sky it. The little lime green ones for 3w, irons etc

 

[srixon 1]

I wasn’t deriding people that buy pink castle tees. I was just saying that nobody that I play with on a regular basis owns up to buying them. They do however use them.
