5 Things I Never Play Golf Without: David Dusek
As long as the weather is nice and the course is in good condition, there are only a few things required to play golf: clubs, balls, and a few tees. But things are never perfect, and there are a few items that I always bring with me to the course that help me enjoy my round even more. Instead of collecting hats from courses I visit, I started collecting these a few years ago because I'm one of those players who repairs their ball mark (and any other ball marks I see) on the greens. I wish more people did it too. A few jabs and twists into the ground with a PitchFix's tongs and the work is done. The magnetic ball marker makes it even better. I had an original Roll speaker, which had the same design but was larger, but left it on a cart a few years ago. These days, I leave this Mini Roll on my bag and still enjoy great sound from it. The oversized buttons make getting the volume just right easy, even with a golf glove on, and its battery lasts all day. I've been playing with Arccos sensors (sold separately) on my clubs for over a decade, and the data has helped me play and practice smarter. Using Link Pro, I don't need to carry my phone in my pocket while I play or do anything else for the system to work. Setup is easy, it connects to the Arccos sensors flawlessly, and it transmits all my shots to Arccos's smartphone app without me having to do anything. There are newer, more sophisticated laser rangefinders out there, but I've used this one for a while and like the clarity of the optics, the speed, and how it makes getting yardages easy. The Slope function is helpful, it vibrates in your hand when it zaps a flag, is water-resistant, and the magnet on the side is shockingly strong. Birdies are good; skin cancer is bad. I noticed a lot of caddies using these a few years ago, so bought a pair and now keep them in my golf bag at all times. I wear a hat and use sunscreen before I play, even on cloudy days, but these sleeves make it much easier to stay protected, and the material actually makes me feel cooler on really hot days.
