So, you're wondering what the best golf accessories are? No worries... we have you covered!

Ah, golf: The sport that we love…and love to hate. While it's a fun and a seemingly healthy way to blow off some steam while spending time outside, its addictiveness can often lead to becoming obsessed with getting better. Like anything in life, you have to start somewhere but as human nature will have it, eventually the inevitable competitiveness starts creeping in.

You probably won't be an Open Championship winner like these players, but the right accessories might have you feeling like one! If you want to be that person that’s prepared for anything, here are all the golf accessories you're going to want to have stocked up in your golf bag.

What to consider when buying golf accessories

Price

Let’s face it, golf is already an expensive hobby. Clubs aren’t cheap, and course memberships and booking fees add up quickly, so the last thing you want is to have to add on more and more costs with expensive accessories. So, finding quality items at reasonable prices is key. We have you covered there.

Durability

Speaking of quality, if you’re going to invest in a product that is supposed to help your game, then it's important that it works the way it's supposed to. This might be particularly important if, say, you’re one of those people who may find yourself taking your anger out on your equipment when you miss a put. Which of course you aren’t. 

What you’ll use it for

It's important to make sure that you aren’t just buying products for the sake of buying. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that one product isn't going to be the difference-maker that will have you ready to join the Tour next year, and you certainly won't be making our list of who had the biggest margin of victory at the Masters anytime soon.

Instead, what may be helpful is determining what it is that you want to improve on in your game, and think about all of the factors that could be standing in your way toward such a goal. Then, you can begin to think about the products that will help take your game to the next level.

Okay, now onto the best golf accessories that will have you prepared for anything that comes up on the course.

1. A Cost Effective Laser Rangefinder

At least when it's cold, you can add on layers and bundle up to try and get warm. When it's hot, and I mean really hot, there’s not as much you can do to cool down in the beating sun.

12. A Portable Charger

The best thing about golf is that its a great excuse to be off your phone and disconnected from everything else going on in life. Still, there is something about being outside all day that makes your phone decide it's going to lose battery at the speed of light. Having a portable charger on hand all day could become critical for a moment when you really need to use your phone that’s surviving on 2% battery.

Though it may seem counter-intuitive that putting on golf sleeves is best on hot days, here’s why it is. First of all, these moisture wicking sleeves help your body regulate temperature by keeping the moisture off your skin. When your body temperature is regulated, you can maintain endurance, and enhance your performance.

Long story short, wearing sleeves makes you better at golf. Who knew, it's as simple as that!

Protecting your skin from the sun is no joke, people. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “its barely even sunny today, I don’t need to put on sunscreen even though I’ll be outside all day,” THINK AGAIN. Not only will you end up with a ridiculous and painful farmers tan (read: burn), sun exposure with no SPF protection is not good for your overall health.
