And if you play golf in Australia, a compression bandage is useful if you get bitten by a snake, and bug repellent (industrial strength) for the flies, mosquitoes etc. Or your opponent.
I’ve got all the items in my bag apart from my gloves in a ziplock bag. I’ll be doing that this year for sure. My market is a purple pinehurst marker and I put a purple dot and line on my ball because my daughters name Violet. Every time I look down at the line while putting it reminds me that even if I miss this putt I still have a cutie waiting on me when I get home.
Thanks James. Just went through my bag refreshing those things to start the new season. As a few others below have mentioned, aspirin, Advil, bandaids, chapstick, suntan lotion, etc. I tend to carry most of this in a separate diddy bag since I may change bags if just going to range and putting green for a few hours versus paying 18 holes versus playing in a 2 day tournament. Also, I keep a separate small duffle bag with winter and wet weather golf gloves, toboggan, hand warmers, etc. My season is from 35 degrees to 100 degrees. Keep up the good work! And don't forget the USGA (or R&A) rule book.
I have some of those items, I also carry suntan lotion (even though I'm in Scotland) hand gel, for when you've had to pee etc. Indigestion tablets are life savers. Bottles of water and fruit or choccy bars. Pencil. Woolly hat, water proofs, ball retriever, brush for cleaning grooves. I like the lip balm idea, thanks . Great vid getting me excited about playing golf :-)
Can I urge all Golfers to take their mobile phones onto the Course and a packet of Aspirins, in case of a medical emergency. You might just save someones life!
BestEco That is why I am encouraging Golfers to carry Aspirins. I'm not sure that many golfers would either have room for a defibrillator in their golf bags or would have the training to use one. Also a defibrillator is only used to correct cardiac dysrhythmias, for most cases of myocardial infarction (Heart Attacks) an emergency dose of Aspirins will be beneficial (and possibly life saving) until Paramedics arrive.
Golf Towel…. (Wet & Dry preferably) an old damp flannel in a sandwich bag is great. Groove cleaning tool. Even the the good old nail brush from wilko’s is great. Near enough everyone will have one next to the kitchen sink, or a cheap toothbrush. How many of us forget a pencil or pen to fill in the score card. How many of us forgot the water bottle to put in the bag. And making up your own isotonic drink for those summer days is really easy and far cheaper than the pre-made ones from the shops. I make my own from water, some orange juice, some honey some salt…. Away you go. Snacks…. Some sort of breakfast energy bar, or your favourite chocolate bar, kept in the cool compartment of your bag. A banana.
I live in Maryland, USA, its winter season now. Whenever I play, it gets cold outside I throw in couple of those tiny hand warmers in my bag. Just shake it to get it warm and put it in your shoes, pocket you be warm all day. Also, I keep small wet hand towel inside of a sandwich bag just in case if I need to wipe my face or hands when it gets dirty. Cheers mate! Love all of your videos! Chris.
I'd also suggest a warmup club, like an Orange Whip, to loosen up before playing. I'm in sunny Florida and the critical thing here is to not get heat stroke in the summer, so water and Gatorade (or equivalent) are essential to stay hydrated. Also, SPF 70 sunblock, a wet towel to put around your neck to stay cool and, just in case nature calls where there is no rest area, some toilet paper and a packet of wet wipes to clean up and make sure your grips aren't contaminated; I know this from experience. And, in hot weather, carry 2 bananas as a snack to replenish your potassium and also some magnesium tablets or gummies to prevent cramping which can be agonizing. I suppose that what you carry is somewhat dependent on where you live, and these are essential for summertime in Florida.
James I could hug you! I always have band-aids (plasters as you poms say) and elastoplast tape (sports tape) in the bag with a set of scissors as well, now in ten 18 years of carrying them (not the same one, I change them when I clean the bag out)and the amount of people that laugh at it. Now I have never used any...not once! But almost every second or third round one of the playing partners will pipe up “anyone got a band-aid or tape?” they are always happy to grab some and normally not laughing then ! 😁
Your comment about having something that’s special to rub in your bag helped me decide to go ahead and purchase custom bag makers for my grandsons. They are probably too young to keep up with them. But, I’m gonna try it.
Cigar torch. It can cost us 2 holes waiting for my partners trying to light up in the wind with matches! Extra batteries for the range finder. Napkins or tissues. Nail clipper. A pistol with extra ammo for those who hit into us or for those who spit sunflower shells on the green, etc. Enjoying your work! Like your consistent energy and humor. Press on!
Great tip on the ziplocks. I went and did that straight away after watching this! However, I always forget to put any bandaids/ bandages in the bag. A scenario came up recently where my playing partner needed to tape a finger but no one in our group had anything! Even after that AND watching your video... I still I don’t have what I need in the bag. Lol.
I have all of your tips in my golf bag apart the range finder. As I live in Spain its a must to use sun cream, water and salted nuts. Thanks for the sandwich bag tip James for the gloves would never have thought of that.
Rain gear (one type for winter) with a different cover for summer months, a hat with a brim that shades the ears for summer months (Texas), extra set of (new) gloves, rain gloves, winter gloves, sunscreen, wool cap, and of course the assortment you brought up.
Wet weathers, insect repellent, sun screen, spare wool jumper with gloves and beanie, 6 hours on a golf course in Melbourne Australia 4 seasons in one day.

I attach a piece of paper with average yardages to my pull cart. People laugh but when I can look at my average distances before a shot it gives me more confidence. The paper also has a few swing thoughts. Here is mine. Lets see everyone else's. L: 70 P: 120 9: 140 8: 155 7: 160 6: 170 5: 180 4: 190 3: 200 D: 250 Ø Set clubface in front of ball Ø FOCUS ON RIGHT SHOE THEN 3” FRONT OF BALL Ø Firm grip Ø Long, vertical backswing Ø BEGIN DOWNSWING WITH HIPS & CHEST Ø Impact inside ball at 6:30 with slightly open clubface Ø HIT FLUSH ON FACE OF IRON Ø Maintain wrist hinge Ø Hips forward/Finish high Ø Visualize launch window
#6 was the best. I have a small antique golf bag pin from my niece that stays on my bag and a Houston Astros and Bay Hill ball marker. All bring smiles.
Never thought about putting a first aid in my bag until last year. I had found a ball buried DEEP into the rough, used my pocket knife to try to dig it out and the blade closed on my finger. It was an absolute terrible cut and me and my buddy didn’t have any bandages. Now I have a full kit
You forgot several more very important things; 1-2 snacks to get your energy up, sun screen, rain gear, several aspirin (for headaches), several anti-diarrhea pills (just in case).
I have a small, narrow brass brush. Makes quick work on the grooves on irons, shoe cleats or about anything else. Also, a small square of sandpaper, sunscreen, dry socks, some change, bottle of ibuprofen, sharpie, plasters, tape. Sounds like a lot but all small items fit in a sandwich bag.
LOL!!! 🤣 When I visited Mom on Thanksgiving Day, she had that SAME knife. It was a freebie she got from the local supermarket after acquiring enough rewards points for shopping. Band- Aids and NexCare wrap tape - check Sharpie - check sandwich bag - I carry at least 1/2 dozen gloves, wrapped in a ziplock shirt bag, check Lip protection - check Rangefinder, GPS AND course book - check Pitch Repair & Ball Marker - must have close to 20 markers and three or four repair in the bag, check 😵 Wrench - check
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Fair enough. The one Bruh was cutting the turkey with had a hollow handle, and was free, which doesn't necessary mean cheap. Probably needed a good amount of "points" to get it.
Replacement batteries for my Bushnall….. I've been caught out twice now and each time didn't have my GPS watch either so now carry a couple of spare batteries in my bag. Also painkillers of your choice are a good idea IMO
Love the logic here James. You are worried about reaching your hand into your golf bag and cutting yourself, you you are going to put a fillet knife and a pair of scissors in there. Lol Maybe just don't put pointy things in the bag at all 🤷♂️
my brush has nylon and steel bristles and a metal poker on the end...always attached to the outside of my bag with a retractable cord so I never have to fiddle with unclipping it to use it.
Umbrella, XL in case the pretty young lass wants to stay dry too... strong glue can seal a finger wound quickly. Multi-tool pliers with assorted tools for a variety of issues. A pencil -- with eraser to correct a score (when no one is looking). A machete to find the ball you hooked into the thorns.
I use cheap small food containers to hold my small or longer tess tees, or small stuff like markers and pitch repairers. Soft pencil case to hold the bigger stuff.quick to find stuff and less chance of stabbing your fingers.
I keep a couple of Kind energy bars in my bag in case I get hungry mid-round. I rotate them every few weeks, and I make sure there's no chocolate in them since it melts and makes a mess!
Great vid. Just have to mention about carrying a knife - in the UK it is illegal to carry a knife in public (without good reason) unless it has a FOLDING blade with a cutting edge 3" long or less e.g. a penknife
Great tip on the sandwich bag,, keep the helpful tips coming. IMO your one of the best golf you tubers on here,, I would guess some tv production types will be giving you a call shortly if not already.
I don't think I've ever seen a knife that dull in my life lol. I'd be more afraid of cutting myself on the knife than anything, so I carry a Swiss knife and scissors. I also carry mosquito repellant spray, sunscreen :)
James you forgot a stud replacement key for your shoes / Suntan cream and hip flask filled with let’s say water! for the purest out there, but for me I have something slightly stronger 😋
sunscreen for those hot summer days. or extra spikes w/wrench, extra shoestrings...shoe horn for putting on your golf or street shoes. And wall putty for when you throw your club wrench over your shoulder and dent your BRAND NEW OFFICE WALL...
I carry 6 out of 7, (never carry the wrench on the course unless I'm out on my own), I've always considered them essential, but I've NEVER thought them as being stupid 😊
James, James...............just where do YOU play Golf? Didn't you learn anything at Augusta, or Hilton Head. Maybe the UK doesn't need such things.......but lets tell you anyway. #1 Sun Screen......James? Really? #2 Bug Spray.........James.........are you immune? #3 Hand Wipes........maybe not a big choice, but I have them. Helps get rid of the hand oil. #4 Cash..............How the heck else are you going to pay for that ....hmmmm ...... refreshment on the course. We could go on a bit with this............but for now, you get the picture. Love your stuff. Would be a hoot to drag you around for 18. Have a good day.
Checked off all seven, but a quick tip. In he Summertime, keep that lip balm in a small plastic bag as well or you'll get melted wax over everything. A small Swiss Army knife comes in handier that scissors. Extra spikes and wrench. Spare cheap ball markers, someone always needs one. And of course, Vodka. It mixes with anything.
I was at the Tradition- Sr Tournament (Scottsdale, Az) several years ago. I was watching some pros at the driving range. One of them asked if anyone had fingernail clippers. George Archer said, "You're a pro golfer and you don't have nail clippers in your bag? That's crazy!"
A few things I keep in the bag are a couple extra spikes for my shoes in case I find I broke one...and the tool to replace them. Also a small container of antacid tablets as I suffer from sour stomach on occasion and nothing ruins a round quicker than your stomach barking at you. Otherwise I'm right there with you on everything else you said.
Oh I hv foot powder and a brush for cleaning the grooves, not my tooth brush, and a pair of like rain pants when it gets cold I normally wear shorts because I live in Vegas, and I hv a tool to mark my ball with a straight line, my alignment sticks.
2 pairs of boxing gloves for disagreements with markers is a must!
I use a knife and just stab them it works and the course can advertise red greens
My "home" course has mountain lions and black bears nearby. I always carry my glock with 2 extra mags in my bag with me.
Like it!
Pretty sure I'd carry bigger than a glock if there's bears lolI

After your round Velcro your gloves to the outside of the bag where the raincover attaches. This lets them air out nicely and dry evenly.

Tip No8 but not needed in the golf bag....The 4 week old Banana !!
Most players use replaceable spiked shoes, every players should carry extra spikes and the tool to replace them!
Spray bottle with dish soap + water, and a towel is the most amazing way to clean clubs. Dirt doesn't stand a chance
A must is emergency tp,always have that in the bag!

Not sure if this was said yet, but the sandwich bag is also good for electronics in case of rain! Not everyone has waterproof phones, cameras, etc.
A few things I keep in the bag are a couple extra spikes for my shoes in case I find I broke one...and the tool to replace them.
Also a small container of antacid tablets as I suffer from sour stomach on occasion and nothing ruins a round quicker than your stomach barking at you.
Otherwise I'm right there with you on everything else you said.
Would recommend Grants scotch or good Canadian Rye Whisky, Crown Royal 👑
Oh I hv foot powder and a brush for cleaning the grooves, not my tooth brush, and a pair of like rain pants when it gets cold I normally wear shorts because I live in Vegas, and I hv a tool to mark my ball with a straight line, my alignment sticks.
Man you should make a how to organize a bag video
We in the Colonies,”plasters and wrap tape” oh band aids 🤔
I agree with the markers, I have loads of them but always use the pebble beach one
