Umm...a towel? I know you are not a "prolific cleaner," but it does come in handy for most golfers.
And spare towel for when it rains. Although I think mark doesn’t play in the rain 🌧🙃
Groove cleaning tool
I have a towel for me as I sweat a lot, and one for the clubs
For me, I have a brush to clean off my wedges, 2 different towels (one for me, one for the clubs) and alignment sticks. The other thing I think everyone should have is band-aids and athletic tape, maybe kinetic tape. When I am playing a lot in the southern usa I tend to get blisters from the friction, so having some tape to wrap a finger is crucial.
Need the tape, agreed!
No tape for me but all of the other stuff for sure..
Tommy. You might want to add the Oxford English Dictionary definitions of 'brush' & 'clean' to your comment so Mark understands what you are talking about 🤣🤣
I just bought a new golf bag, so this video came out at the right time!
Love this. I set my bag up almost exactly the same, but the idea of having a small tote to carry the pitch forks and tees is a great idea. Thanks for the great vid, as always, Mark.
Mark I’ve watched you for what seems like forever. Keep it up
Always fun to watch - thank you for sharing.
Towel for me, clipped on to the outside of my bag. Spare hat for those really humid days too. Great video Mark 👍
Thank you Mark , simple ideas , but very useful
I grabbed a rubber golf hole disc to use in practice areas when everyone is crowded around holes and I can go find my own corner of the green to practice. Works well for chipping in common areas too.
Mark, you made me go out to my garage and sort my bag out. Its fully of rubbish and I am now going to convert to wooden tees only. I enjoy this video. Thanks.
Well done mark I practice and play with the same ball 👏 👍 😀
I like these type of videos ... keep it up!
I currently have a full set of hybrids by LAZRUS GOLF except for 5 hybrid because already had a Bridgestone hybrid in same loft, can’t wait to take them to the course
Pocket edition of rules of golf always useful to have in the bag
I have the USGA rules of golf app on my phone
Love your videos. Bought the ‘Fundamentals’ book recently, based on your recommendation. Excellent purchase - so thanks for that.
I’m all for less packaging too. However one thing I find handy in my golf bag is to keep my gloves in a plastic zip lock food bag - stops them drying out and getting stiff and keeps them fresher for longer.
Which fundamentals book did you get?
@@davidstried4337 The Four Foundations of Golf by Jon Sherman
@@jameskeane582 Awesome I will look into it. Thanks!
I keep all my gloves back into the packaging that came in
Good video, always nice to refresh your bag and junk stuff you haven't used. Only additions from me are clothing (mid layer and a light shower jacket), some all weather tees, some replacement spikes (if I am using my spiked shoes) and a key for them and lastly a bottle opener ;-)
In the recent hot weather, I’ve been attaching a wet towel on to the bag. Helps clean clubs and sweaty hands and face. (Got a burn that snakes through the course so it gets topped up half way round. )
Great video - makes me realise how much unnecessary crap I take round with me! One thing did shock me a bit though - you didn't have a headcover on your putter? Not only do they get bashed around a lot but a "naked" one can also do great damage to any Graphite shafts around them, especially with the current trend for wood covers not to have a "sock" attachment which I always thought were great shaft protectors. Hope you don't mind me mentioning!!!
Yep, blatant oversight re putter cover. No cover, put it w wedges.
I would add two towels.
One wet one dry
In the UK there would also be waterproofs in there!
I have a small leather shaving bag I keep small things in like Kleenex, band aides, granola bars, chap stick, dental floss, repair tool and so on. If I am golfing by myself and using a buggy, which is most of the time, I keep the bag on the seat and put my phone, range finder, sunglasses, ecig, and anything else I thought to take for that round, in there too. It can fit in side pocket if I am using a cart or walking. Works out good and I am never looking around in my bag for stuff. I also have a checklist on my phone I go through before a round so I know I have all the things I might need.
Nice… Peoples have mentioned the towel already but, I also take the Puttout if I have time to just plop it down so that even if the practice green is busy I can go figure out some of my speed feels that day.
Clip on towel, groove cleaning brush, pencil sharpener and ball marker (s) also in my bag. I also have a rangefiner for those times where Shotscope can't help, like the distance to a treeline from the tee on a dogleg.
I keep a few extra spikes for my shoes and the little wrench. Also spare: sun sleeves, lightweight bucket hat, cooling sport towel (I like on a subtropical island). Good size club scrubber on a retractable cord plus a pocket size one. Club towel. WUNDERBOOM2 speaker.
I keep my putter alongside wedges at the bottom to avoid clanking the wood shafts.
I go evens ascending lengths up right and odd up left, but I’d do a similar grouping to yours if I had the 4-splitter.
I put my gloves in a zip lock bag. It helps the glove last longer.
What about a golf towel? We know how you like to clean your clubs after each shot. 🤣
Towel, Aleve, white athletic tape, extra ball marker for marking ball for playing companions, and sunglasses.
Timely video. Getting a new bag for Father’s Day.
A flask. Because I don’t play well every time!
Here in the west of ireland, missing an umbrella and full wet gear,
In North America, where we drive on the other side of the road, I think it is pretty standard that we have our mid & long irons on the opposite side that you have just set them up on.
Nice Bayhill tee drop!
Wheres your alignment sticks mark
TP and bug spray. Bug spray is self-explanatory. The TP is nice if you have an early round and need to drop a deuce. Those bathrooms out on the course have see-through-Chuck-Norris TP. No fun! I also carry a couple of disposable hand warmers during the winter months. Crack ‘em and keep them in your pockets to warm your hands up. I also keep one small roll of cloth athletic tape for blisters that may emerge on my feet or hands. This stuff weighs nothing, but sure can save you from a miserable round.
Waterproofs Mark. I live in Scotland.
great vid Mark. what about a towel or a wipe rag? also noticed you had an extra wedge, and not the second "P" a numbered one.
All good ideas. A woman I played with some time ago said that you men are funny - why put a dirty club in the bag (bad domestic habit). So I now clean mine with a wet towel before I put them back in the bag - no need for brush or groove cleaner anymore, and no soil and grass in the bag.
Would be interesting to see what your spread of lofts are across the clubs in your game bag.
I have 2 towels, one for me and one for my clubs. I got a brush if I need to clean my club face. A umbrella. A putting aid when I practice my putting before the round. Band aid, extra clean sock (you never know...) some kind of figure tape or kinetic tape. And an alignment stick.
Curious on a hybrid bag if you put it on a cart would you reverse the clubs?
great video. two pitching wedges Mark?
My bag is completely stacked with everything, and the bag was made just before all the super light bags. It’s a heavy package 🙂 what’s your guys’ favorite bag brand? I have clicgear now, but also have liked ogio bags and sun mountain c-130 models.
Ive got insulation tape for covering splits in my hands, the number of folk Ive lent that to. Rennie, Ibuprofen, scissors and a woolly hat, spare towel for hanging under my umbrella & an umbrella. I put a 6"x6" piece of 1/4" steel in my mates bag, it was there for over 6 months, he obvs didn't need it.
Waterproofs normally a must have in the uk , plus an umbrella. A copy of the rules , some plasters and pain killers plus a packet of tissues.
I have a groove sharpening tool, white finger tape, a lead circle weight to drop on my driver for warm up and ibuprofen.
Cool vid. Got to be careful putting the putter up the top of your bag coz the face of the putter can damage the shafts of your driver etc due to bag chatter. Keeping some pain meds and afew bandages doesn't hurt either. 👍
Hi Mark, Have you a video on lets say,i buy a golf set and now looking to improve on the set. Where should i upgrade/add to first
Not sure he does. But I'll take a stab: Driver, Wedges and Putter are the most important clubs in the bag. A good driver (even used) can be a little pricey, but a decent set of used wedges and good putter can be bought for a song. After that, I'd focus on the top end of the bag... a 5-wood and two hybrids (replacing the 3 and 4-irons) and I'd also strongly consider replacing the 5-iron and 6-irons with utility irons . With regard to replacing your irons, I'd give serious thought to forgiving hollow bodied irons like the Srixon ZX4 irons that Mark plays. They make learning and playing the game so much easier (warning: the ZX4s and similar hollow-bodied irons are far from cheap...even when buying preowned.)
@@playingbadgolfwell9732 i appreciate the reply Robert ill definitely take that info on board. I was thinking the wedges to add to my bag so thanks for confirming that as a good choice.
Things I would suggest adding from personal experience. A box of sticking plasters. Spare battery for the rangefinder (assuming it is not a rechargeable model) had one fail half way through a round before. And unless your bag has a valuables pouch a padded or lined bag for your phone - seen too many where they have been put in with tees and pitchforks and the screen is trashed.
Mark, you're a glove hoarder 🙂 I play in the southeast USA, if you don't carry insect repellant you'll be borrowing from your partner very soon.
I’m tempting fate here but normally avoid rain (uk) as I can access my course pretty easily without pre booking. I only use two tees typically small standard tee for 3W and irons, pink standard tee for the driver. I do pick up the odd tee as I play. Good point about plastic tees the plastic is easily recycled if it’s kept separate. Years ago they were talking about peat tees but I think peat getting scarce now
Gloves, two towels, rain jacket just in case, scorecards, and plenty of ammo. Playing a round with 6 balls in the bag would be tempting fate for me, recently lost three off the tee on one hole two shanks then a pull left😂
I do tend to find a lot of balls though, other day duffed a drive and found 7 balls within about 2 metre circle but not mine.
Clubs go in the bag as per mark except putter is in with wedges
I played at Paultons in Romsey, Southampton tonight and lost my CBX wedge. Favourite club a sad day
Love your personalised golf balls. Where can I get some please?
Yes, it isn't going to change the world but still a good video and definitely good for beginners looking to play medals 👍
Also get a glove caddy! Nice way to organize and keep your gloves!
I have a brush, extra towel for when the green is wet, snacks, sunglasses and bug spray.
A spare pair of pants 🩲
Always carry wet weather gear as I’m just unlucky with the weather☹️
Jeepers Mark there's a few golf balls in that bag you're carrying round. Looks more like Rays bag!!!
Cigar cutter, torch, birdie juice flask (mentioned by others), cigars, flat ball marker, cash to pay off the bets I lost, pullover/sweater, and maybe an eye glass cleaner kit.
Always have sunscreen, cap, some plasters and headache tablets when the going get tough !!!! Did you mention the ball markers?
I do my bag pretty much the same way, I just have two small towels, (one wet and one dry), medical tape, small set of nail clippers , sun glasses, power bar and nuts, and a small pill bottle of advil.
Towel is must have - half dry half wet, a cap plus a scorecard holder to stop my card getting damp/creased. That's it. FORE!!!
Good video Mark, what is name of that bag??
I'm newly subscribed. Enjoy your videos. Very helpful, genuine reviews. Would you advise I get that lovely little chipper you had in your bag. I'm playing off 18 currently so pretty average golfer. Thanks.
That Crossey wedge is like Harry Potters wand, you will definitely benefit from it no matter what h/c you are, mine is priceless
How many pitching wedges do you need?....
Only other thing is light rain jacket and pants just incase you get caught out, but you don't play in the rain 🤣🤣
What about a Sunday Bag set up for evening golf/ 6 holes?
Umbrella/ Rain gear. Always seem to get caught in afternoon thunderstorms here in Georgia
Would love to see how you would setup a cart bag with the 14-way dividers. Great vid though!
Put clubs in dividers. Done.
Put lob wedge next to driver sand wedge next to 3w putter in the middle
Towel, also (I hate to admit, a groove brush, I hate dirty wedges). I also bring a little ziplock bag with lip balm, some bandaids, Tylenol, Advil, a cigarette lighter, nail clippers, and med tape.
I have been using the same 1 plastic tee for three years.
Here in Florida, I make sure I carry bug repellent. Otherwise, I think my bag contents are much the same.
I loose plenty of balls so also have collection of found balls 😂
Surprised you don't have a cover on your putter with it rubbing against graphite shafts.
Also I always have a groove cleaner and two towels, one dirty one I keep clean. Also always keep some nail clippers, plasters and a pencil sharpener.
One thing I do is always play the lowest numbered ball so if I hit a provisional ball it will always be the higher number. So if both balls are close I know they are mine by the markings but which is my provisional by the number. Often wondered what other people do?
Interesting Mark. I would suggest you don’t keep your putter in the top, especially in transit, as it will clatter and rub against your graphite shafts 🫣 The other thing I have are 1) “medical” bag i.e. plasters, ibuprofen, aspirin, anti-histamine, hand wipes, tissues; 2) Insect repellent; 3) Range tee (allows me to use tees on range mat); 4) Impact stickers (for range work); 5) Alignment stick; 6) Resistance band (for warm up stretches)…… I know, it’s starting to sound like my wife’s handbag 😅
Tel me you use a trolley with all that in your bag?
@@Dreyno 😂 Yes fortunately I do… well in the summer anyway
@@tonymoss2484 I feel like my clubs, balls, pitch fork, tees, gloves and ball markers make a paltry collection. You’ve encouraged me to start filling those pockets.
Um, where’s the CHIPPER???
I know; it has its own special bag to sleep in.
I live in the tropics. I am 73 & play 9 holes most days and walk. The lighter the bag the better.
6 balls, some tees, a towel, 2 litres of water and a glove. Oh yes, I also take some clubs to spoil the walk.
I also keep a half roll of toilet paper in the bag because you never know and sometimes the restrooms on the course haven't been stocked.
Missing the range finder, rain suit, umbrella, extra battery for range finder, band aides, cigar cutter, lighter
Sad.
No boiled sweets tin for tees.
Also need a Swiss Army golf tool for pitch marks, ball marker and the wee penknife to sharpen your pencil.
Also, what happened to the chocolate bar.😂
Mark you forgot your club scrubber. Oh, never mind.
Sweets
Use this to put in the bits when you need the electricity on -------what? Please to explain sir.
Nice but no towel, how are you keeping things clean.
Same + Brolly + raincoat on a rainy day
Your bad gloves are nicer than my nice glove.
The ones who don't know what ball they're playing love to hit a Donnay into the deep rough , then after a 5 minute search play a Pro-V1 back onto the fairway !
No club scrubber how do you keep your clubs clean 🤣
you´re missing grove cleaner brush, a rain jacket, (maybe a brolly too if it´s already raining, although I hate carrying them because you can guarantee it will blow away while you´re mid swing) insect repellent, and peanuts/snacks/sandwich. Also, water is fine if it´s not too hot, but when it´s really hot and you´re dehyrating fast, a sports drink that has electrolytes is better.
My bag's got about 10 pockets and that's plenty to handle everything I need. Then I throw it onto my battery powered buggy and just go play!
Extras in my bag will be...
Food/Snacks, Towel, club face cleaner, umbrella, waterproof jacket/trousers...
My bag rolls on my trolley, carrying is to much like hard work...😄
Two pitching (P) wedges (see 8mins 41seconds)? I'm guilty of too much spare stuff in the bag. Spare this, spare that, crazy but just can't help it. (example 2 pairs of rain gloves, just in case)!
Groove brush and a little cash for refreshments. Maybe some Tylenol, cheers.
I hope you didn't pitch that old bag, looks like a quick fix. Did I miss your towel to clean club face? Also, +1 for sunscreen and bamboo tees.
Towel or 2
A brush to clean the clubs as you go
Mosquito / insect spray
I'm exactly the same down to the sunscreen
Maybe throw a club cleaner in the bag 😉
No rulebook?
I just reorganized my bag. I keep bandaides, tums for an upset stomach, and a camping roll of toilet paper along with sunscreen. All of those are meant for travel so they don’t take up any room. I also have a raunchy that rolls up, in my back as well.
Marking your ball like that still doesn't stop some idiot playing it in error. Using the yellow ball however limits that considerably!
Mark - coffee made? Think about Using a mug or reusable container
