Golf is the sport most sensitive to one forgotten item: no glove means blisters by the 6th, no balls means borrowing with interest, no jacket means four hours of weather you can't leave. The boot of the car is your clubhouse — stock it right.
This golf-day list covers bag and body: clubs, balls and tees in honest quantities, glove plus the spare for rain, the rain jacket even when the forecast says otherwise, sunscreen, water and snacks for the back nine, plus the small change — a coin for the trundler, cash for the halfway hut. Tick it while loading up and play the course, not the pro shop.
How the ABC app works with this list
A — say it. Tap the mic and add anything this list is missing — "golf balls" — and it's saved. B — tick it. Check each item off as it goes in the bag or the trolley. C — sorted. The list keeps itself; close the app, it's still there next time. It works offline, and your list lives on your phone, not on our servers.
