Golf Bags � Holdalls � Packing Guide

Pack your holdalls carefully to make sure you're just as well equipped off the golf course

Packing your golf bag is easy. Clubs? Check. Balls? Check. Tees ? Check. Waterproofs? Check. But what if you come off the golf course and find yourself unprepared? You might have arranged to meet a business colleague for a post-golf drink, but haven't come with spare clothes that meet the stringent guidelines of your club. So it is essential that after packing your golf bags, you spend some time preparing the contents of your holdalls to avoid making a fashion faux pas.

These are just some ideas of what you might need to put in your holdall and why:

Smart Change of Clothes

Most golf clubs stipulate that smart attire should be worn within its leisure facilities such as the bar, restaurant or lounge area. Make sure your holdalls are packed with a change of trousers, a collared shirt, and clean shoes (not sneakers or golf shoes).

Evening Wear

You may also find that the club house you visit has an extra dress code for visits after 6pm. Many will request that a tie and jacket are worn. Roll your tie up and place it in a plastic sandwich bag in your holdall to keep it clean, and take your jacket or a full suit in a suit cover to keep it pristine � don't try and squash any of your evening attire into your golf bag!

Toiletries

These are essential after an intense game of golf! It is likely that your golf club will have showers in its changing rooms, so make the most of them and freshen up properly after your game. Pack some shower gel, shampoo, deodorant and aftershave in your holdall, and throw in a spare towel in case they're not provided by your club. Golf is as much of a social game as well as a great place to network for business, so by making sure your holdall is well stocked with grooming products, you can make a great impression off the golf course as well as on it!

Essential Items

It may sound obvious but don't forget to pack your holdall with essential items including your wallet and mobile phone. You may not want to carry these onto the golf course for security reasons, so buy a holdall with secure and even hidden pockets, put your important items in here and then store the bag in a locker. There would be nothing worse than dropping your car keys half way round the course and having to retrace your steps to find them!
