Why is THIS in your golf bag? Plus, we played French Lick!

  • Summary

  • This week on "Sticks Together," we discuss essential items to carry in your golf bag, beyond just clubs. We kick off with personal updates on their recent rounds of golf, where Slade shares his success in interclub matches and tweaks to his bag, while Stacey talks about her productive sand lesson and a mixed but enjoyable nine-hole game.

    The main focus shifts to the often-overlooked items in a golfer's bag. Inspired by a Golf Digest list, they go through essentials like golf balls, jackets, umbrellas, and more niche items such as bug bite care and nail clippers. While Slade considers himself a minimalist, Stacey finds humor and practicality in her more extensive collection of gear, which includes a special cart blanket and personal mementos.

    They then dive into their recent trip to French Lick, Indiana, to explore two historic golf courses: the Pete Dye Course and the Donald Ross Course. Slade highlights the unique features and challenges of the Pete Dye Course, such as its deceptive design and spectacular views, emphasizing the role of our forecaddie in navigating the tricky layout. Stacey appreciates the guidance from the caddie, which significantly improved her game.

    However, we found the Donald Ross course picturesque but challenging to play due to its old-school design and less accommodating service. Despite these frustrations, we enjoyed the overall experience.

    What about couples golf? Our caddie, Dave, complimented our positive and supportive interaction, a rarity among couples he has worked with.

    Finally, we share recommendations for preparing for a golf trip, including packing the right essentials and understanding each other's playing styles to enhance the experience.
