One month until a golf trip to Pinehurst. Help me figure out what I’m missing (aside from the obvious stuff like golf clubs and balls).

Speaker for music
Rain gear (just in case)
Koozies
Electrolyte/hydration packets
50ml shooters

Any other must haves? Or perhaps some small touches to enhance it? (Eg personalized balls for the group)

I’ll take any and all ideas! It’s me and 3 buddies from high school.
 
Tylenol or such.
 
chapstick and underwear
 
Sunscreen is always good to have
 
Sunscreen
ChapStick
LiquidIV x many
 
lip balm
gold bond spray
face moisturizer
 
I always have a tube of lip balm in my golf bag. Some kind of insect repellent isn't a bad idea either, especially if you're going to be wearing shorts.
 
Wallet, car keys, phone. Anything else can be easily replaced.

Lots of golf shops and other stores in the nearby area.
 
Sun protection!
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat
  • Sunglasses
  • Sun sleeves

I'm partial to Bullfrog - they have an SPF 50 / insect repellant that cain't be beat...2 birds with one stone!
 
I keep a "Golf Trip" list on AnyList. Some of the things listed:

- Meds (pain, allergy etc.)
- Band-aids
- Battery bank
- Phone and charger
- Sunglasses and cleaner
- Hat
- Watch charger
- Rain jacket, pants, gloves
 
And don't forget your Credit Card - to buy all sorts of fun stuff at the Pro Shop!!!
 
Band aids
I keep a small pouch of sanitizing hand wipes I keep in my bag
Sunscreen (skin and lip)
A couple of RX bars
Backup phone/watch chargers or cables

Battery bank is a great call!

I’m surprised by how many people have said chapstick. I always associate that with wintertime

Sun and wind burn suck. If I forget the face moisturizer I will put some lip balm under my eyes and on my ears.
 
Sunscreen
some muscle rub. I prefer the roll-on less mess.
Chapstick can be a lifesaver. Nothing worse than chapped lips on the course on a windy day.
Battery pack.
Hand warmers for those early morning starts
Band-Aids/Tylenol/Advil/meds
Snacks for those long rounds
a lighter, You never know when you might need one. I was a Boy scout once!
Tens unit for after round

Hot, dry summer wind is like a blowdryer turned on high and aimed at your face.
 
Bug Spray in addition to rest stuff mentioned
 
Yeti or similar vessel to stay hydrated
Extra good towel in case the main goes MIA
Shot Scope watch if you don’t already have one
 
I always make little snack baggies for the boys and I on golf trips. I put them in a box on the kitchen table and you can grab them as needed. I get the snacks from Sam's Club:

1 small Pizzeria Combos
1 Planters Peanuts
4 mini Slim Jim's
2 Fireball airplane bottles

I make enough bags for everyone to have one a day.
