    Each of these products are an avid traveler’s saving grace when on the go, but they also work great for golfing, whether you’re headed to your local course or on an epic buddies weekend away. Every item on this list, from handy carabiners to portable, waterproof speakers, are designed to help extend your playing time—even when you’re not on your home course—while maximizing performance and fun. Added bonus, all of these items would be great to stock up on Prime Day (July 16-17) if you’re looking to take advantage of the deals.

    Become a packing cubes person

    As one GD editor put it, once you start using packing cubes, you’ll never go back. They work great for keeping clean clothes separate from your grass-stained athletic-wear when packing a suitcase, but they also help keep track of small items, valuables, and toiletries for your everyday duffle, gym, or golf bag.

    Swap out liquids for dry-safe, spill-proof alternatives

    To avoid spills (and slipper club or stains) in your golf or travel bag, swap out liquid toiletries with solid alternatives whenever possible. Plus, they won’t count toward your TSA liquid allowance if your golf trip is taking you in the air. Stick deodorant, powder sunscreen, and solid cologne are great starting points.

    Invest in suitcase straps, bungees & carabiners

    These small (and affordable) accessories will make rushing through airports a breeze. Luggage straps and hooks that allow you to connect both your carry-on items will give your back and shoulders a break while keeping your items safe, together and hands-free.

    Bring the vibes

    In addition to bringing extra snacks and sunscreen, everybody loves the golfer who sets the mood. This waterproof, portable speaker can be recharged by the sun (goodbye power adaptors) and can connect wirelessly to your phone to play any tunes on your set list. Look for options with a magnetic feature or clip to easily attach it to a golf bag or cart.

    Go neutral

    If you’re a golfer who loves to travel, this hack is for you. When shopping, opt for neutral colors like off-white, caramel, and navy in minimalist designs that allow you to mix and match outfits. These classic pieces are also trend-proof, so they won’t be out of style before your next great buddies adventure.

    Have packable layers on hand for … emergencies

    We’re talking about spontaneous thundershowers or accidental spills. Got a little ketchup on your polo? No worries, through on a light vest and no one’s the wiser.

    Take advantage of reversible & convertible designs

    Many golfwear now is reversible, perhaps with a spunky pattern on one side and a more mundane monochrome on the opposite. These can extend the life of each wear when you’re on the go, or save you if you need to make a last minute change up due to color clashing, outfit repeating, or spillage. In terms of convertible designs, look for pants that unzip into shorts or jackets with removable sleeves if the weather is warmer than expected.

    Track your clubs

    Travel pros love to stick trackable devices into their valuables, like their wallet, keys or golf club bag, for, if nothing else, the piece of mind knowing you can always find your items if they go missing or misplaced.

    Carry a piece of home with you

    Golfers are no stranger to good luck charms. Constant jet-setters know how important it is to take pieces of home with them when they’re on the go. These personalizable gifts and golf products can help make home feel like wherever your golf gear is.
