Good video Neil, thank you. I do carry an extra battery in my bag in addition to these items as well:
I have an extra pair of shoelaces in my bag, they literally weigh nothing and take up no space but could really come in handy for you or a playing partner.
Living in south Florida we also carry sunblock/sunscreen. Skin health is extremely important and you must protect yourself. The travel size bottles of those items fit nicely in the bag. Lastly I also carry a travel bottle of ibuprofen for those times when body aches creep in sometimes before, during or after a round lol.

8 pints & a vindaloo the previous night was one of my golf disasters. Forgot to put bog roll in the bag.

good video. Can absolutely agree with the fairway wood comments. Switched up to a 5 wood and hit it more consistently and actually further than the 3 wood it replaced!

[creepintrex]

Higher lofted woods are such a help. I spent too long on too many 3 woods thinking well everyone has one it's just a hard club I'll get it. Went and got fit and even when I was nailing a 3W about (1/8 attempts) I was only beating the 5W by 15-20 yards. When 6/10 times I nailed the 5W. Good tip sir!

Got 3 spare battery.s for my bushnell .had it a year not needed one yet .you want one neil

[anthonycsimmons]

After getting properly fit, i realized that i had been playing with the wrong set makeup for many year. I am now 1 fairway wood instead of 2 and 2 hybrids instead of long irons and enough wedges to make up my set limit. Great video thanks Tony🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦

Mistake nr 7: Golf Towel on the ground 😄

Thanks for the vid!

Do not go to a big golf store. Find a locally owned store where you can talk to the owner. If you live in the Bay Area, go to alameda golf works.

I carry an old callaway big Bertha heavenwood. It gets used way more than my 3 Wood for those long par 5’s.

Enjoyed the vid not a lot of rain in oz but when it does its easy to get caught out so i have a small tea towel sized towel in a plastic bag in the bag life saver, I think taking fruit or something to eat is important for a good round as well. Thanks Rob

I carry a driver, 5, 7, 9 woods. Much easier to use than long irons. Mine are fitted though. Have played with good players who struggle with their woods, all I can figure is mainstream manufacturers make crappy fairway woods.

[gimbalair]

My biggest issue was being custom fit for Edel wedges indoors, they skid off the mat an give a false sense of effectiveness, result £600 worth (3 wedges) which do not work on the course due to ground conditions. Biggest most costly mistake i have ever made, Edel say the wedges are designed to work with natural tendencies, they dont. Answer, always get fit outdoors off turf where possible and dont believe the Edel hype. ON a positive note, their putter fitting system is outstanding and my custom build E1 is a stunning piece of equipment and is by far the best £400 i have ever spent, more so than a driver that costs the same but gets hit at most 14 times a round.

[kevinshiel]

how many takes did the bunker shot take?

[ponnappaganapathy]

Taking too long to drop my long irons. And carrying clubs that I never play. I now have 11 clubs in my bag. Am looking to add only one more club now

[mikelytwyn]

What loft did you end up with on your fairway wood Neil?

If possible carry a backup GPS ( ? free phone App type)when travelling in case your device doesn't have the course logged, or a laser range finder as well as a GPS.
If heading towards senior years err on the side of more flexible shafts if you are at the cross over point in swing speed, plus graphite shafts in your irons to save your forearms from stress.
Wedges; have a variety of bounces available and grinds to suit seasonal changes for hard ( 4-6 degree) to soft muddy lies ( 12-14+) and maybe change them over based on weather/ course conditions change. If I travel to course with huge deep bunkers I pack my C3i wedge! ( and leave out my Cobra wide low grind 58 /06). I like to carry a SW 54/56 degree with a moderate bounce 10 degree and heel and toe grind so I can chip around the green if green is rough ( pick it out using the toe)

After each round I put a couple of clean golf balls in my glove - helps the glove dry out quicker
