Treat Yourself To These 5 Different Golf Accessories

Golf is a demanding sport, requiring plenty of physical and mental discipline, along with a slew of golf gear and accessories. While the right selection of clubs, balls, and attire remain indispensable for a good game, there are a wide range of different accessories that can significantly enhance the overall experience on the course.

The $84 billion global golf industry has left no stone unturned when it comes to churning out branded products and accessories. While many of them are largely unnecessary, and fail to add much value to the game, there are a few that are too beneficial to ignore. In this article, we cover a few such accessories that every golf enthusiast has to treat themselves to.

1. Gloves

While some might consider it a bare essential for a good game of golf, gloves remain broadly underutilized among amateur players. 

As a result, it is common to see beginners struggle with getting a grip on their clubs, along with blisters on their hands. A comfortable pair of gloves are rather indispensable for having a good time on the course.

Like with most things in the golf-industrial complex, gloves come in different shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and features. The best option for you will differ based on your gameplay, weather conditions, and more.

2. Golf Umbrella 

Even though a normal umbrella still does the trick when it comes to keeping the forces of nature at bay, most professional golfers use a larger, sturdier umbrella, commonly referred to as a golf umbrella. 

Beyond protecting players from the scorching Sun, wind, and rain, these umbrellas also protect other expensive golfing equipment and accessories, which should ideally remain dry for effective gameplay. 

A golf umbrella is at least 30% larger than a regular umbrella, with a range of new innovations and features to make them more convenient. This includes the likes of double-canopy umbrellas to prevent leakages, micro-black coatings and more.



3. Bag Organizers

Given the sheer range of gears, gadgets, and equipment that is required for golf, your bags can quickly get cluttered with things all over the place. A great way to avoid this is by getting a golf bag organizer, which is essentially a rack, with multiple columns for different bags, and separated storage spaces.

If you’re an avid golfer, it makes great sense to have one of these at home, and keep all of the expensive golfing gizmos in one place. They don’t take up a lot of space, and make it easy to find things when they are needed.

Here again, there are a wide range of options to choose from, with single racks for just one bag and a few accessories, and multiple racks for pros with an extensive set of clubs, gloves, balls, and other essential gadgets.

4. Ball Retriever

One of the few things that can put a dampener on a great game is losing sight of the ball along the many difficult to reach places in a golf course. This includes thick shrubbery, water bodies, and other hazards that are often placed to create a more challenging layout for players.

While challenging gameplay is great, things can get frustrating when players have to spend a bulk of their time trying to find the ball. 

Enter the golf ball retriever. Reaching as long as 21 feet, these instruments can dive into water bodies, or deep into dense shrubbery to hunt for the ball, so you don’t have to mess up your hands, legs, or clothes.

5. Seat Covers

Another great accessory to treat yourself to is a seat cover for golf carts, helping your cart or buggy stand out, all the while keeping you cool and dry during periods of high humidity and temperatures. 

Avid golfers can choose from a wide range of options, with seat covers for various golf cart models, colors, designs, and trends to best highlight your persona. Make sure to look past the aesthetics, and check for the right materials and fabrics that ensure comfort during long games.

The right seat covers can be airy, helping your clothes and skin breath after you sit back following a couple of minutes in the scorching Sun. Having the right seat cover can elevate your playing experience to a great extent.

Final Words

Being a rich man’s sport, each year we come across a slew of new creative products and innovations to help enhance the game and its overall experience. If you have the money to spare, there is no shortage of gadgets and accessories to make your time on the golf course that much more pleasurable.

It’s hard for onlookers to understand golf’s appeal and the billions of dollars spent on it each year, but just a few hours of immersive playing, and almost anyone can be converted into an avid fan of the game, with all the numerous gadgets and accessories, and their sky-high prices seemingly well worth it.
