My golf bag is kind of my mobile workspace… every tournament and hole are different- but Travis and my golf bag are two things that stay the same. I’m a pretty organized person- the first thing I do when I get to the golf course each day is to make sure my golf bag is loaded and unloaded with everything I need for the day, and nothing more.
Belly pocket
- Always my snacks. 100% of the time there will be peanut butter or almond butter filled pretzels… on a tournament day, can count on two bananas, a protein bar, and a peanut butter sandwich. And also Celtic Sea Salt… put a pinch in a bottle of water for natural electrolytes and hydration!
- An extra roll of my finger tape
- A couple strips of lead tape just in case
- Travis’s pocket- where he puts his stuff, golf pencils in a ziploc bag, Advil/Claritin/etc in a ziploc bag, rubber bands, extra ziploc bags… did I mention Travis likes ziploc bags?
Top front pocket
- My yardage book covers and yardage book, potentially last year’s yardage book too
- Waterproof yardage book cover. Clutch.
- Extra golf pencils
- A ballpoint pen
- Lactaid in case the only food options have dairy!!
Right side
- My 1/2” red circle stickers that I use for putting
- A walker cup pouch with ghost holes- flat ones for chipping and putting and taller white ones to use for practice rounds
Left side
- Bag rain cover
- Extra driver wrench
- Possibly a backup driver head
- Old gloves to sign and give away- I always wear through the bottom of the thumb first.
- And sometimes a 1’ long, 1.5” wide pipe named Charlotte. I use her to roll out little spots of the practice greens if they get choppy late in the day
Bottom pocket 1
- My new golf balls
- A couple black sharpies
- My Harker high school pouch with 12 Nevada quarters- for putting drills
- A smaller black pouch with two Stanford ball markers, one Walker Cup marker, one Nevada quarter and one 1995 silver dime for use in tournaments. I always carry a quarter and a dime in a tournament round- the dime if I’m anywhere near someone else’s line
- Chapstick. Not really sure why, I never use it
- Ball line drawing aid. I use a line on my for tee shots, and a dot for putting.
- And the glove I’m currently using.
Bottom pocket 2
- Just tees. Half SJ Sharks tees, half Vegas Golden Knights tees.
Bottom pocket 3
- Ziploc of older sharpies to sign stuff- I never sign with the sharpies I use to mark my golf balls. I need those perfectly sharp.
- Ziploc bag of new gloves. Usually 3-4. I keep them in a bag in case it rains to keep them dry.
- Ziploc with 2 extra range finder batteries and rain gloves
Even with all of this, Travis says I have one of the lighter bags on Tour…
