Whether you are an avid golfer who is checking out golf course houses for sale, or you are just a beginner who plays just for fun, there are certain things every golfer must have. No matter what level you're at when it comes to golfing, here are four necessities every golfer needs.

A Good Golf Bag

You'll need a golf bag for more than just your golf clubs. Other items you'll need to carry in your golf bag include:

  • Golf balls
  • Golf towel
  • Extra pair of socks
  • Water bottle
  • Sunscreen

When trying to find the perfect golf bag, remember not every golf bag is created equal. Some are just plain better than others, which is why you don't want to have just any old golf bag. The perfect golf bag will hold all your stuff while being lightweight and easy to carry.

The Perfect Jacket

The average time it takes to play 18 holes of golf is about four hours. This means it can be warm and sunny during the beginning of your golf game and cold and rainy by the time you reach the 18th hole. For this reason, you'll need to bring the perfect jacket along every time you play a game of golf.

The perfect jacket is lightweight and easy to pack while offering protection in all types of weather. When shopping for your jacket, you'll want to ensure it's made out of weather-resistant materials like a mix of polyester, polyurethane, and spandex.

A Distance Measuring Device

Also known as rangefinders, and originally invented for hunting, golfers have realized the advantages of using a distance measuring device for their game. It is now a must-have if you want to know how far away the next hole is. The two types of distance measuring devices include:

  • Laser range finders
  • GPS range finders

If you are an amateur golfer who is really wanting to improve your game, a handheld GPS range finder helps by pinpointing your exact location. This not only lets you know how far away your next hole is, but also if there are any hazards you need to watch out for.

A Leather Scorecard Holder

Even in this technological day and age where there seems to be an app for everything under the sun, many golfers still use traditional scorecards. This is why a golfer needs to have a leather scorecard holder that can protect your score sheet in the rain and/or humidity. Since you're also going to need a pencil to keep score, you'll want to get a leather scorecard holder with a pencil pocket.
