As one GD editor put it, once you start using packing cubes, you’ll never go back. They work great for keeping clean clothes separate from your grass-stained athletic-wear when packing a suitcase, but they also help keep track of small items, valuables, and toiletries for your everyday duffle, gym, or golf bag.

To avoid spills (and slipper club or stains) in your golf or travel bag, swap out liquid toiletries with solid alternatives whenever possible. Plus, they won’t count toward your TSA liquid allowance if your golf trip is taking you in the air. Stick deodorant, powder sunscreen, and solid cologne are great starting points.

Many golfwear now is reversible, perhaps with a spunky pattern on one side and a more mundane monochrome on the opposite. These can extend the life of each wear when you’re on the go, or save you if you need to make a last minute change up due to color clashing, outfit repeating, or spillage. In terms of convertible designs, look for pants that unzip into shorts or jackets with removable sleeves if the weather is warmer than expected.
