What should I carry in my golf bag besides clubs?
Tees, ball markers, a towel and a ball cleaner are essentials. Add a divot tool, spare balls and a scorecard pencil. A rangefinder is optional but useful. Most accessories cost little individually, so grab what suits your game rather than everything at once.
When should I replace my golf towel?
Replace when it no longer absorbs moisture, develops permanent odour, or loses colour and shape. Most golfers replace every 1-2 years with regular use. A smelly towel usually means moisture got trapped during storage, so dry completely before putting it away.
Why do my tees keep breaking?
Can beginners use the same golf accessories as experienced golfers?
Which golf accessories are worth buying first?
Plastic tees vary in durability. Wooden tees are inexpensive and great for practice, while bamboo or composite tees often last longer if you play regularly. Replace tees regularly rather than reusing worn ones, which affect your consistency.
Yes. Many golf accessories, such as ball markers, divot tools and towels, are useful for golfers of all skill levels. As you play more often, you may choose to add practice aids or other specialised accessories, but the everyday essentials remain the same.
Start with the essentials you'll use every round, such as tees, a ball marker, a divot tool and a towel. Once you've built a regular playing routine, you can add accessories that support your practice or help keep your equipment organised.
