Apr 7thKitted out for Myrtle, Golf Trip Essentials

I’m headed down to Myrtle Beach for a golf trip with about 40 of my, and my Dad’s, friends.  I’m trying to see what I need to pack and buy today, so I figured I’d throw up a post about the essentials.

1.)  FootJoy shoes with BOA lacing system.  I have an older pair, but it does have the BOA system.  For comfort and convenience, they can’t be beat.

2.)  Bonobos/Maide Golf pants.  I have these in a couple colors.  Great for all seasons.  I wore these on the trip last year and highly recommend them.

3.)  Thermal/Cooler bag.  Mine is from Bass Pro, but I don’t think they made them anymore.  If you have an old golf bag without cooler pockets, just throw one of these in a side pocket and you’ve got yourself a cooler bag.  Even in my small carry bag, it holds about 8-10 beers depending on ice.4.)  Cigars.  I like Arturo Fuente Hemingways.  Easy to light, consistent, and delicious.   

5.)  Chubbies Mint Julep short pants.  I say short pants, because the inseam is 5.5″.6.) Koozie.  Because ‘Merica.  Always keep a few in the bag.

7.)  I’ll be on the course during The Masters, so lets hope the NBCSportsLiveExtra app gets good reception.8.)  Brooks Brothers Golf Polos.  A staple.  You won’t find me in crazy shirts or flat brim hats.9.)  Jet lighter with a punch, for when its windy, and you forget your cutter.  I’m a rose gold fan, but generally, I just carry a ronson in case I lose it.  Don’t forget to purge your lighter before you refill.10.)  Caddyshack Belt.  This is the one item on this list I don’t own, but it looks pretty sweet.
