Hey guys, welcome back to Modern Golf. I hope you’re having a great day and even better week. Today we’re talking about one of my favorite things I’ve been talking about doing this video for three years and it’s really the 12 essential things that I need in my golf bag every time I play. And so this is going to be a little different. So what I’m going to do is some of my favorite things I’m going to give away to you guys. And so what we’re going to do is the best comments of and honest I don’t need funny things but like what do you keep in your golf bag if it’s a momento from your late grandfather or whatever it is that you have to have in your golf bag every time you play. We are going to be sending you some of our favorite products to you guys. Um so stay tuned. I’m going to go through this list pretty rapidly. Um but let me know get at me with what you guys have to have with you when you’re golfing where you feel whole zen-like. Um, so let’s get into this list really quick. So the first thing up for me, uh, is I need an organized top golf bag. And so I don’t care if I’m using a 14-way or 19 way or 7way. My clubs have to be one clean, but organized. I need everything in its place. I grew up as a caddy of those who don’t know. So I have to have everything exactly as it is. Maybe it’s OCD, maybe it’s the caddy in me, maybe it’s all the above, but I need everything super organized. Yes. Am I a fan of the more 14 and 15 way tops? Yes, I like the putter pit. I like my clubs where they go, but that is number one on my list of things I have to have. Number two, and this may surprise a lot of people, especially the way the world is. Um, I can only use Stinger golf te’s. Uh, I will use other golf tees if they’re sent to me uh or if I’m trying something, but I’m not a fan of the plastic golf tees. Um, I hit down on the ball, so I go through a blank ton of TE’s every round. But I like the Stinger TE’s. I go through the two and 3/4 uh with a little stinger on top. These are made locally here where I’m at in Cleveland. Um but phenomenal golf tees. I buy them in bulk cuz I go through a blank ton of TE’s. And then uh the guys I play with never seem to have te so. So they get probably half of what I buy every year. But for number two on my list, the Stinger wood TE’s in the natural color. Number three, and some of you are going to boo me and may hang up on or disconnect after this one on this video is head covers to coordinate with my golf bag. So, I love a black or white or black and white golf bag. So, a lot of my head covers, you can see some here and I work constantly changing them out or ones over here. I like a black and white head cover. It’s cool. It’s um timeless. I love it. But, so number three, my head covers have to coordinate with my golf bag. Number four, music. I have to listen to music. I don’t care if I’m playing with a customer, if I’m playing with buddies, I’m playing with my son, playing with my parents, whomever I’m playing with. I like to have music. My two favorites, and I’ll grab one now. So, two of my favorite speakers are one is I’ve been lucky enough to get this pinned uh rider cup speaker that I love. Usually, it’s somewhere in here, and I’ll probably put it back here at some point. And then my old trusty JBL Clip 5. I love this thing. 60 bucks, maybe it’s 70 bucks now. It’s gone up. It goes on like this. It clips on. The sound is fantastic. I’d play music, but then I’d have to pay royalties. I don’t want to do that today. But a fantastic little speaker. Those guys, Joe and my guys who I play with, who have heard this, I think every one of these guys now owns this speaker. It’s that good. So, for number I think we’re four on my list. Music. And I love my little speakers. So, the next thing up that I have to have my essentials when I’m playing is a GPS type device. So, I love Pin’s new caddy. Uh, I’m testing this little guy out now by Bluetooth, which is a much smaller, simpler system. And I’m still my standby still to this day is my little Sky Caddyy SX 4000, whatever the number it is. U, that’s literally this big. I’ll put pictures up. I love all of them. The Sky Caddy is still the one that I literally It’s like my old trusty. Uh, if I’m walking or riding or let’s say we’re playing with a group and it happens where the other group doesn’t have a system, I give them the Sky Caddy. People love it. So, I have to have a GPS system with me, depending on size and price, but I love having a GPS device when we’re playing. This is going to make a lot of you guys mad, but it’s okay. I love to dress well when we’re golfing, but I also love to smell well when I’m golfing. And so, I don’t mean I just wear deodorant. I am a huge fan of wearing cologne, although I can’t smell it at all when I’m outside, and it’s probably even worse for my allergies. But, I love to smell good. Uh these are some of my favorites from Creed Aventus uh to Torino 22. I love a fresher fragrance. Uh my son is a is a fragrance head uh that has a ton so sometimes I steal his when he’s home for summer. U but love wearing cologne uh as an essential when I’m golfing. The next thing up is my personal mark on a golf ball. Like a lot of people use a dot and a lot of people use this and a lot of people use this. My guy Doug I won’t almost said his last name. My guy Doug years ago made me a belt buckle. um with my initials on it. And so I’ve been using that kind of ever since. So I mark mine with a little JH. Um it’s easy for me if someone steals my golf ball. Um but I always mark it with a black or blue Sharpie, but I always put my little JH. It’s easy, but that’s an essential that I have to have when I’m playing. So another thing that I absolutely love to have um and I kind of, as you guys see, I always wear them are hats. And I love wearing hats. And so this year we’ve launched kind of these. And again, these aren’t for sale, uh, but my guys, uh, some people have these that I’ve sent to them. So, a couple of you guys are going to walk away with this, uh, for the best results. Modern golf hats. We’ve been discussing offering these for sale. I really don’t want to be that guy to be selling my merchandise, but I thought I want to give this out to some of you guys. Um, we have this in a number of colorways. Um, I love these. I’m so proud of what these have become. Um, but so I love having a hat, and you guys see I wear a ton of different hats. um all the time. The modern golf hat in a number of colors has kind of been my one of my essentials this year. And so for a number whatever on the list eight uh my essentials is my modern golf hat. Next on the list and we just did a review not too long ago about the best sunglasses. So I do not leave my house without sunglasses when I’m golfing. I don’t care if it’s overcast. I’ve these guys that I play with will tell you I bring them when it’s raining out. Um because between allergies and dust and if the sun comes out and I get a migraine. So the next on this list for sure is sunglasses. So the next thing on this list and I’m the opposite of most people. Most people love to eat hot dogs and all that stuff while they’re golfing. I’m the opposite. I don’t know if it’s my OCD in me or if it’s uh I’m just so driven. I’m so competitive. I don’t like to eat much of anything while we’re playing. But I do, there are two things that I will eat. Uh there’s a third that I will try to eat, but these are the two that I’m loving. And I know this is comical for some of you, but this is from Walmart. This is their chocolate peanut butter trail mix. I can go through a bag of these in a round. Um it’s way too much fiber, way too much everything I need to eat uh for a round. But I love this. But something new I just discovered are these. And this is golf nibs. And it says, and I’ve eaten one or two around. They tell you to take two gummies every three holes. I wouldn’t do that. I take one at the first hole and then one at 10. And these do help keep me level. Uh I’ve tried to eliminate my caffeine when I’m playing as well. So just water with my huge Yeti, which could also be on this list. And then like I said, I’ve been trying these energy gummies. Uh and this is the transfusion flavor. They’re actually really good. I’m surprised my son was home last week and played with us and loved these. Um just kind of a neat new product. Again, not inexpensive. I’ll put the link up for this, but golf nibs and certainly my chocolate peanut butter mix are two of my favorite snacks that are essentials for me when I’m golfing. So, those are really the essentials that I have to have with me every time we play. Uh there’s a lot of cool things I carry. I have a lot of different ball marks from a lot of different things. Um but these 10 that I just discovered have to be with me every time we golf or I feel off. So, tell me what you guys what your essentials are for golf. What do you have to have with you to make it not even a successful round, a fun round? Uh, and then again, our favorite comments. We’re going to be sending you some of our favorite gear uh that we personally use. I won’t send you my old golf balls, I promise. But I’ll send you some very cool stuff. New swag, head covers, that kind of stuff. So, stay tuned. But let us know, what are your essentials? What are your 10 essentials uh for when you’re golfing? Maybe it’s 20. I could have made this list 50. Um, there a lot of other brands and stuff that I really enjoy. I love Kent Wool socks. And we can go on and on and on, but but let me know what are your 10 essentials for when you golf that you have to have with you. Anyway, guys, if you’re new here, uh my name is Jeff. This is Modern Golf. We review mostly golf equipment, tech, apparel, shoes, golf bags, you name it. Uh if you’re new here, please do us a huge favor and subscribe. Please like, and if you have any questions or feedback, let us know. And again, we will catch up with you guys next time. Thanks, guys.

  1. I am similar it drives me nuts when my bag is not organized, and I have a 4 way bag . It sucks shoving and pulling my clubs out every swing. Not having a cooler pocket and every space over flowing.. Love the show

  2. Watched some of your vids before but this will be my last since you’re a promoter of music on the golf course 👎👎

  3. Hi loves the videos been watching for a while now I keep the scorecard from the first round I ever broke 90. It's not about the number it's a reminder that progress is real was also one of my most memorable rounds as I spent it with my dad before he couldn’t play anymore due to physical problem’s.

  4. I don't know if I can think of a top ten, but some of my absolute essentials are:
    1. A friend of mine went to play St. Andrews a few years ago, and brought me back a really cool , 2 sided, St. Andrews Golf Club ball marker, goes with me every round.
    2. My Bushnell Golf Wingman magnetic speaker.
    3. A Couple of Kirkland Protein Bars
    4. I, like you, take a 64oz YETI filled with water. Essential in Florida!
    5. My Ghost Golf magnetic towels.
    6. I wear the same Costa Sunglasses every round I play.
    7. A small container of rubbing alcohol (My hands sweat terribly in the Florida heat, about every 3 holes I'll rub some alcohol on them, it helps to evaporate the sweat)
    8. Always wear a pair of the Municipal golf shoes. Love the comfort and traction I get from them.
    9. My Ghost Golf Oreo Utility pouch. (I put my phone, wallet and keys in there).
    10. Always have my blue Foot Joy Hydro Lite X Rain jacket(short sleeve). In Florida it can rain at any moment.
    Well, I guess I did have 10! Love the channel.

  5. Two things I cant live without on the golf course or round are …#1: my golf towel and #2: my ball marker. Would be great to see some good options for these 2 things.

  6. -Something with my logo
    -Snack Nature’s Bakery Whole Wheat Fig Bars + Nature's Garden Organic Trail Mix
    -Bamboo Tees
    -Sony SRS-XB100 speaker
    -My outfits must color coordinate. I wear gloves on both hands so they match as well.
    -I mark my ball with graffiti inspired arrows and quotations.

  7. Sunglasses , bomba socks, golf buddy gps, all wood natural color tees with no blue color on them ( bad luck), adidas 360 tour shoes that match clothes color , yeti, Frankenstein head cover for my mini driver since it’s made up of different parts from other clubs (hence the name I give it “Franken-driver), lucky ball marker that’s a half once gold coin , an old ashworth logo cap signed by Fred Couples and a gold ball with an old golfing buddy’s name on it that passed from cancer -I don’t use it I just keep it in the bag – that’s my 10

  8. Cleveland? Yea, northeast Ohio! I’m east of you in Ashtabula. Not a fan of LOUD music on the course. If it’s low and doesn’t annoy others, that’s fine. I have a Scrubi that I use to keep the clubs clean while out on the course. Great thing to have when the course doesn’t have club cleaners and I don’t have to keep a wet towel around. I also have a ball cleaner on the bag because courses don’t always have ball cleaners or the water is nasty. I mark my golf balls with a marker, my initials. I always wear a hat, usually the Greg Norman straw hat on hot days, but ball cap style is for cooler days. Most importantly, when I walk, the BagBoy Nitron push cart is amazing! I’ve learned to enjoy walking again and the storage is just right so that I don’t have to dig into the bag all of the time.

  9. 10 essentials.
    1. At least one dozen balls. I usually lose one, but 12 makes me happy.
    2. My Rangfinder
    3. Clean clubs, grooves clean
    4. Damp towel to clean clubs during round.
    5. Cabretta golf gloves, I usually have 3
    6. Some hidden cash in the bag. Just in case.
    7. Rain gloves
    8. Rain gear
    9. Tees/ball markers/divot tools
    10. The BEST thing I have is a gear locator. My bag has 11 pockets, I hate struggling trying to find something. I just drew a simple drawing of my golf bag and number my pockets 1 through 11 on the drawing. Under this I just list what’s in each pocket. If I need some chapstick for example, I look at my list and see which pocket I put it in and bingo I go right to it. Sure beats unzipping and zipping 7 or 8 pockets trying to find it.

    Cheers

  10. Some good essentials mentioned in the video and comments. Mine are probably
    -Snacks, Drinks
    -Shades
    -Tunes
    -Some cool cartners

  11. Good job with the colognes. I’m a fraghead also. Love to dress well on the course. Both off these just make golfing much better and does wonders for my frame of mind.

  12. Nothing wrong with music depending on the situation and being mindful of others. I’m here to enjoy myself. But keep it respectful

  13. 1. Love not thinking about where to put my clubs so I use the Stitch MIY SL1 with 2 slots
    2. Color cordinating headcovers and towel.
    3. Bug soother spray, smells and works great.
    4. Owala
    5. Gum
    6. Powerbank
    7. Melin hat
    8. Always press ball marker
    9. Gfore glove
    10. Ibuprofen

  14. Sunglasses for me as well! Per your review, I bought a pair from Tifosi. Can't wait to try them. On a different note, I keep my first hole in one ball. Whenever I get a new bag, it comes with me. Always in its own pocket. 22 years and counting!

  15. Always fitted out on the course. Custom shoes. Fly fits. Stamped balls. Walking with the Alphard V2 Pro. Allergy meds. Sunglasses. GPS watch with a color coordinated band.

  16. I have to make sure I carry my Trump 2024 ball marker! I know probably upset some people but I don’t care.

  17. All this time I thought I was listening to a reasonable person. Then you said, "Creed Aventus". It sells for $510.00 for 100ml. apparently. I'm out. Thats crazy.

  18. Great video Jeff! I carry Natural Wooden tees, love my ball markers, I have several different ones in my bag, I also have more than 50 hats that i switch out with my golfing attire. I also use a green sharpie to mark my balls with a smiley face, easy to spot! I gota have my Caddy Splash Water Brush to clean my clubs while on the course and of course 3 to 4 towels to wipe of my clubs and balls, thats my list of essentials that i carry in my bag..

  19. Western Birch golf tees, cool ball markers and head/putter cover from the best courses I’ve played

  20. 1 thing that never leaves my bag is a custom print ball I found in mint condition that is printed on both sides, one side reads “Christian Ball” other side reads “I once was lost but now I am found.” I thought it was hilarious and great at the same time. The only other item that only comes off my bag to get washed is a towel my son got for me, it’s always on the bag. I also can’t go without my Pinned Caddy, JBL Charge 6 and clubs definitely cleaned and ready to go before every round!!! I’m the same!

  21. Man I’d love one of those MG hats in white with black MG!!!! I’ve been begging for one of ya shirts anyways! 😂😂😂

  22. I keep a Noodle golf ball I used in 2006 to win a long drive contest. Great BB driver with the Noodle. 440 to the front of the green. Hit that 420 right down the middle. One of my best shots ever!!

  23. I must have a speaker and on my golf balls. I need my name and my school. I also must mark my ball with a dime because my great grandmother always gave me a dime when I was at her house and ever since she passed away, I have always marked my ball with a dime on the green.

  24. I always like bright things so the pins and aces head cover must be on and when went to the USA for my honeymoon and recent trip with my kids.

    USA quarter coin in my bag at all time just to remind me of our holiday there and the fun we had

  25. Every week my foursome meet in the parking lot and trade items. May it be something as small as a handful of tees, a couple ball markers, cigars or this week one of the guys brought out some sick small leather caddie books. It’s all about the camaraderie with the bros. In my bag though… I always have to have gloves and snacks.

  26. Long story…waste management open, here comes Matt Wolff, with GG swings as his caddy! He was my youtube instructor for years, I call him over and have him autograph a wooden ball marker, use that on every important round

  27. Things I MUST have for a round of golf….1. BUCEEs 30 oz drink mug. 2. Small Cooler with Gatorade or powerade 3. Small snack bar 4. Very high Vis golf balls (eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be) 5 Fresh socks for the turn at hole 9 (fresh feet for the back nine works wonders) 6 tunes 7. Always always start off the 1st tee with clean clubs with fresh grooves. 8. A good attitude about the game …. good attitude makes golfing fun. Everything else is a nicity but I need these 8 things.

  28. Lime green plastic tees. (3 in pocket) Only wear Bucket Hats. Have to have a wet Towel. Different headcover every round. Yeti with Frozen energy drink.

  29. Interesting and fun Video!!! #1 Must have my golf watch!!! #2 Golf Hat #3 Sunglasses #4 Water #5 My favorite Ball Marker

  30. Absolutely have to have my tumbler with anything cold,, water, beer, bourbon!! And sunflower seeds ( don’t worry I don’t spit them on the course ) old baseball habit

  31. Great topic!!!!
    3 must haves……Macro protein bar, Tag Heuer golf app, coordinating but not matching head covers!!!

  32. Gotta have my Oakley Holbrook XL Rx (prescription) shades with the Prizm Golf lenses — absolute game changers. Features Elite Max Cushion golf socks, I’ll wear them dirty if I have to – nothing else will do. Some good Jerky: Brooklyn Biltong, Chomps or Tillamook 👌 Swag, Hatch, Jones or Seamus headcovers… just depends on the mood. Just picked up the Jones Circa 71’ covers, very clean – got quite a few compliments on them.
