Step 1: Evaluate your mess

To start, I emptied each of the pockets of my golf bag, and what I found is on display in that unsightly pile in the photo above. Ugh…So. Much. Stuff! I’m not proud of this, people! And so many golf balls! Why? Truly, there’s nothing in your golf bag that will tip the scales more prominently than golf balls. Individually, they’re light as air.

Step 2: Consolidate your necessities

Place everything into piles so you can get a clear picture of exactly how much you have of each item. This is also valuable because it will show you what you don’t need, like course yardage books and pin sheets from a tournament you played well over a year ago. And four granola bars! C’mon, Jess!

Step 3: Decide what to keep

Once you have your piles established, it’s time to purge. I cut out about half of the stuff I was carrying. Do I really need over 20 golf balls? I hope not! I’m going to stick with two sleeves. And all those gloves were old and in need of replacement. I just need two gloves: one to wear and one for backup, as well as a pair of rain gloves.

Step 4: Choose a pocket

The key here is convenience. You want to put things you use the most, like balls and tees, into a pocket that is easily accessible. I like using the largest external pocket for apparel and the bag’s rain hood, and the deep bottom pocket for balls. The side bottom pocket is useful for things like sunscreen and my trusty Rules book.

Step 5: Order your clubs

I like having a rhyme and reason to my club organization. Every club has its place, so it makes it obvious when one is missing. The driver goes at the top, and every other club follows from longest to shortest, ending with the putter in the bottom compartment. Some players like to have the putter up top with the driver, but I’m not among them.
