BONUS TIP
A bag with your name on it
Stop. Just stop. Here’s the rule on this: unless you have a reserved parking spot at the next PGA or LPGA Tour event or are the head professional at a golf facility, having your name stamped on your bag is absolutely forbidden. You don’t look cool. You look like an idiot.
