What do you need in your bag?

[Backache]

Bag was getting a bit heavy so I had a look inside and apart from the stuff I did need such as clubs and waterproofs I am not sure that I needed in the quantities that I had.
54 Golf balls
9 Gloves
7 Reading glasses
7 Old score cards
13 Pencils
6 Pitchmark repairers
8 Defunct range tokens (we are now on a card system)
4 Face masks
Old edition rules of golf
4 Ball markers
Far too many tees
Oh and £7.54 in coins

My bags a bit lighter now, though I'm trying to think out the optimum number of balls.

<54 ?

 

[Steviefella]

Exactly 3 balls per hole ?, 1 glove every 2 holes.

 

[Deleted member 23270]

I carry 2 balls in case I need to hit a provisional.

Those scorecards and face masks must have really been weighing you down. ?

54 balls… maybe that’s why your name is back ache?

 

[IanM]

I'm tempted to get 54 balls out of the practice bag to see how many that is en masse!!

I suspect it's lots! AND heavy.

After what happened to Tiger Woods at the 2000 US Open, I would always have about a dozen balls in the bag.

Mate of mine cleared out his bag and had over £100 in coins ?

Things like score cards and face masks obviously don't weigh much but what they do is create mess which means that you add in extra because you're not certain that you can find what you need.
I've gone for twelve balls but I suspect that is too many. Six is about right I think.

You cannot be serious. Almost 5 dozen balls, is it a tour bag?

Club cleaner thingy

I know a few players who still play by them.

Insect repellent spray, sun-block stick, hand sanitising gel, two empty bottles to put water in and a small tin to put a few biscuits in.
