The best summer-golf essentials for every round

Summer golf is nearly upon us, which means golfers everywhere are sneaking off to the course at every chance to squeeze in a quick round or range session between scheduled weekend rounds. Whether you are an avid golfer or new to the game, it’s always a good idea to take inventory on your gear and apparel setup to make sure you are prepared, when the opportunity to play comes. You may have the bag packed well for your standing Saturday morning tee-time, but you might need to simplify your setup if you are sneaking in a quick nine between work calls, and certainly will have to pack an extra bag if you’re bringing the kids along. We polled some of our editors to round up the top essentials for every type of golf outing, so you can be ready to tee it up at a moment’s notice.
