Some Optional Accessories for Golf
Article by Darren Pace
There are a plethora of accessories available for playing golf in addition to the most basic equipment needed to simply play the game (a ball & clubs) at its most rudimentary level. A golf bag and golf shoes are probably the first two additions to the equipment that one should consider, but after these two items, the items become a little more personalized based on individual features, characteristics, and the ability to purchase. Some items that one may wish to seriously consider purchasing next would be:
1) The USGA Rules of Golf. Yes, there are many rules to the game and a firm understanding of the rules will simultaneously frustrate and enhance your ability to play the game well. The rules will define some of the golf accessories that are available for the game of golf that are actually forbidden by the rules, so you may want to start right here if you have any desire to play in any sanctioned competitions in the future.
2) Consider purchasing a golf umbrella. As an accessory for golf, an umbrella is one of those things that you will hopefully not need often, but when you do it will be the best piece of equipment in your bag. Just picture yourself about as far away from the clubhouse as you can possibly be when that thunderstorm breaks loose to know the answer why.
3) In addition to an umbrella one should consider a golf rain suit as an additional golf accessory. These are a wonderful addition for the die-hard golfer that wants to finish the round even though it has started to drizzle and looks as if it is not going to stop for a while.
4) A very popular accessory for golf is also the golf glove. This addition can greatly enhance the players grip on the club and significantly improve solid contact on each and every shot. Additionally, specific gloves are also manufactured for playing in the rain as well.
5) Another accessory for golf that is very popular is the clip-on towel. A towel is a great addition for removing debris from the golf ball and/or the golf clubs after making a shot. Additionally low cost items such as ball markers and green repair tools can add a little spice to the game.
6) Club covers are a great accessory for golf clubs to protect them from damage that can occur in transit or while being carried, wheeled, or carted along on the golf course.
7) Specialty clubs are also a great way to personalize your equipment based on your strengths and weaknesses. There are a wide variety of clubs available that one can purchase in addition to the standard set of clubs including, but not limited to, “trouble woods”, sand wedges, ultra-loft pitching wedges, and drivers with various lofts, head styles, shaft lengths and stiffness’.
8) Putters. Putting is half the game and deserves a lot of attention because of it. A wide range of different putters are available that will allow the individual to further personalize their golf accessories up to and including head covers for the putter as well.
This is just a small snapshot of the many different, but perhaps more popular, accessories for golf.
