Five Items & Accessories To Prepare For Your Next Round in Arizona

So, you’ve got the essentials for your round. Your clubs, balls and tees are packed up and ready to go. 

But there’s so much more you can take with you to stay prepared and comfortable while golfing in the desert. Here’s a list of items and accessories to help you get well-equipped for your next round of golf in Arizona. 

Golf Club Water Brush

We see the pros have their clubs cleaned by a caddie after every single shot in Tour events. So as casual golfers, why not do the same?

Dirty clubs can cause inconsistent shots with a loss of distance and spin. So the next time you hit it fat, don’t just scrape the dirt off with the bottom of your shoe. Instead, grab your water brush and easily eliminate the dirt and grime cluttered between the grooves of your club.

The water brush will wet the club face, softening the dirt on the surface. The bristles of the brush dig deep inside the grooves, forcing the dirt out for a clean club and better control on your next shot. 

Golf Cart Fan

Desert golf can get hot. We’re talking triple-digit temperatures under the baking sun. 

The best way to guarantee a cool breeze on a hot Arizona day is with a golf cart fan. Many fans can clip onto the frame of your golf cart or are magnetized to stick to it. 

Adjust the location to get air flow from any direction you choose and escape the beating sun even if just for a minute.

Portable Mister 

A cart fan isn’t enough? Give a portable mister a shot. 

The misting function will apply a light layer of water to your skin, cooling you off quickly as the air blows while driving in your golf cart. 

Portable misters can keep you cool both in your cart and while setting up for a shot. Don’t let the heat deter you from booking a mid-day tee time. 

Golf Cart Seat Covers

We’ve all been there. You didn’t leave your golf cart under a shady tree and after taking a few moments to hit your shot and get back in the cart, the seat is hotter than Sparky the Sun Devil. 

Tempting fate by sitting in a scorched seat can be a thing of the past with a golf cart seat cover.

The cover can easily slip onto the cart’s seat and should come with holes on each end to fit the armrests through, holding the covers in place. Brands will sell them in different designs and colors, and others can be custom made so you can ride in comfort and style. 

Sunscreen/Sunglasses

No matter the season, the sun is no joke in Arizona. 

If nothing else, remember to apply sunscreen before your round and re-apply throughout to ensure you don’t go looking like a lobster the rest of the week. 

Take care of your eyes and remember to shield them with sunglasses too. Many golfers prefer lenses with a brown-tint to help make the golf ball stand out against the blue sky and green grass.
