Are you ready for the tournament?
Here's a checklist of things you may need:
Water Bottles
Sunscreen - also chapstick with sunscreen
Bug Spray
Hair Ties
Hat
Golf Shoes
Golf Glove
Rangefinder / GPS if you have one.
Pencil and scorecard
Golf bag and clubs - clean up clubs and grips. Count your clubs, make sure you have 14 total clubs or less. The putter counts as 1
Pull cart
Golf Balls (Range balls are not legal for play, so get them out of the bag)
Tees
Band aids - fingernail clipper - first aid supplies
Sharpie to mark golf balls and paper/pencils to keep backup scorecard
phone with CHSAA golf app loaded - maybe an extended battery if needed
Directions to the golf course
leave in time to warm up before tee time
FOOD, you'll be out for at least 4-6 hours. Pack a meal that isn't just junk food. Bananas and apples are good choices, too.
Any medication you may need (inhalers, allergy, etc)
Personal products - hand sanitizer, small roll of kleenex or TP
Layers of clothing so you can adjust to the weather
Also, with this great big list, you still want to get the bag as light as you can make it, so you aren't hauling extra stuff around with you on your 8 mile hike (longer if you are looking for balls a lot).
You may want to have a backup set of clothing, shoes, socks, etc, in case you step in something uncomfortable or a bird poops on you.
