1: Golfing Smartwatch
Firstly, one of the essentials you should have on all of your golfing trips is a smartwatch. Not only does a smartwatch come with a huge range of features that you can use day to day, like contactless payment, health tracking, and smartphone notifications, but golfing smartwatches specifically can help you improve your game. With the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Golf Edition you can not only do all of the above, but can also measure distances, view the green you are playing on, as well as see predicted shot locations. In addition, this smartwatch also comes with a global course maps and a range of features to improve your game. This makes it the perfect smartwatch when it comes to golfing. It also has a 2 day battery life so you don’t have to worry about running out of juice!
2: Umbrella
Secondly, an umbrella is always handy to have with you on your golfing trip. Although you may not plan to go golfing whilst it’s raining, we all know that the weather can change in an instant. That is why we recommend taking a good sized umbrella with you whenever you go golfing, just in case the weather changes quickly!
3: Golf Balls- Golfing Essentials
Thirdly, a very obvious essential is golf balls! It would be very difficult to play golf without the golf balls of course. We always recommend taking a few golf balls with you in case you misplace or lose them. In addition, we would also recommend using bright coloured golf balls so that they are easy to see and find on the green.
4: Golf Grips
Next, we have golf grips! Golf grips are essential when it comes to your game. Your shot can differ depending on the size of the grip. According to a study, using the wrong grip can cost you up to 5 points per round! That is why it is so important to find the perfect grip for you. This grip guide will help you find out what size you need to play your best.
5: Golf Shoes- Golfing Essentials
Golf shoes can be quite controversial as some people question whether you even need them. However, we think that golf shoes are a definite essential as they can complete change your game. Golf shoes are a lot more stable and sturdy compared to your regular trainers and are able to adapt to different terrains. In addition, they are also a lot more flexible. This all helps you in your game overall as you will be more stable and have a better stance.
6: Glove- Golfing Essentials
Golfing gloves are very important when it comes to your game. The main purpose of them is to make sure that you get a proper grip of the golf club. This can be difficult if the club is wet or if the golfer’s hands are sweaty, which is why a glove is always useful. In addition to this, the overall grip that you get of the club can be better as it reduces the chance of you gripping too hard and having a bad swing.
7: LazerOptix Golf Rangefinder
This product is a definite essential, especially if you are more of a competitive player. The LazerOptix Golf Rangefinder gives you an accurate distance between you and the flag, compensating for slopes. In addition, the scan mode allows you to range multiple targets without having to reactivate the laser for each target.
8: Golf Bag
Golf bags are great for carrying not only you clubs, but all of your other golfing essentials. We recommend getting a waterproof/ water resistant one just in case of rain. This means that even if it does rain, all of your golfing equipment will keep dry and not get ruined.
9: Golf Headcovers
Headcovers are an essential as they keep your clubs clean and safe from scratches/ dents. However, you must ensure that before putting on the headcover to clean and dry you club. This will prevent any kind of rusting from happening over time. Headcovers are also a way of showing off your style and humour as you can get a huge range of funky and funny covers!
10: Golf Tees
Golfing tees are an essential as they can result in a better shot compared to hitting the ball straight off of the ground. The height of the tee also matters. You should always try to keep your tee as low to the ground as you can, especially if you are using a driver. Tees can break quite easily which is why you should always make sure you have spares.
