Start with the non-negotiables. These are your on-course basics.
- Golf clubs
- Golf balls
- Tees
- Ball Marker
- Glove (bring a spare)

The trick? Plan outfits, not individual pieces.
Start with:

- 1 lightweight layer (early tee times = cooler mornings)
- Hat or visor
Stick to a color palette so everything mixes and matches.
