What’s in your bag?<\/p><\/div>\n

I am now traveling quite regularly to play golf, often abroad. And traveling for an extended golf trip is much different that traveling light for shorter business trips as I had often done in the past. It finally dawned on me that it would be easier to operate with a check list in order to pack quicker and not worry that I might have missed something.<\/p>\n

Traveling abroad can be quite time consuming and expensive to replace something important that you\u2019ve forgotten. The following is my checklist that might apply to you men. You might use it as a head start to develop your own.<\/p>\n

Sports Jacket, Dress Shirt, Ties<\/p>\n

Extra Golf Balls & Gloves, Tees<\/p>\n

Golf Clubs (not the ones I absolutely can\u2019t afford to lose or have broken)<\/p>\n

Lightest golf bag possible (consider less than 14 clubs)<\/p>\n

Zip lock bags for small miscellaneous items<\/p>\n

A full trash bag to cover my clothes going and to stuff my dirty laundry in returning.<\/p>\n

A copy of your packing list in case your luggage is missing you can\u2019t quickly reconstruct what you brought as well as a list of important credit card numbers should they be lost or stolen.<\/p>\n

Most important:\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget your smile and sense of humor.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
