The honorary fifth season is upon us! I recently returned from a golf vacation and inventoried what essentials I need to tote with me for a seamless spring day on the links. I always consider that the weather at this time of year can be fickle - that’s why it’s important to download The Weather Network app for Android or iOS, so you can have the most up-to-date forecast at your fingertips. Aside from the obvious accessories, this list of products will take you through sun, rain, and wind.
TaylorMade Noodle Long & Soft Golf Balls
Amazon.ca
As a leisure golfer, I always take Noodle golf balls with me in my bag. This ball requires less clubhead speed and has an above-average number of dimples that reduce air drag. They're also softer around the greens for better approach shots, which is what I need help with the most!
Why buy the Noodle?
Taylormade is the official supplier of this ball
Available in a 15 or 24 boxed set
Affordable ball for the quality it provides
Rated 4.7 out of 5 based on more than 3,800 Amazon.ca reviews
Wedge Guys 250 Count Professional Bamboo Golf Tees
Amazon.ca
This generous pack of 250 tees should last you for the season and beyond. You might think that as a budding golfer I use these tees because they are PGA approved, but really it’s because they are made from bamboo with a natural finish, which makes them completely biodegradable. I’m always on the lookout for environmentally friendly options and this one hits a hole in one for our planet as well as quality.
Why buy these bamboo tees?
30-day, 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee with every purchase
The Wedge Guys and customer reviews claim they are stronger than wooden tees
Comes with a free inspirational ball marker
Rated 4.7 out of 5 based on more than 1,100 Amazon.ca reviews

Footjoy Women’s WeatherSof 2 Pack
Golf Town
I know there are some fun golf gloves on the market, but I stick to this option by Footjoy. It’s a lucky day if I can find them with pink instead of black accents, but for the most part, these gloves fit and wear well. They are extremely comfortable and I can actually keep my rings on and fit them under the fingers. I’m a repeat purchaser because of the secure grip, reliable closure, and breathable mesh design.
Why buy Footjoy gloves?
Number one selling golf glove in the world
Suitable to wear in all weather conditions
Lasts longer than other brands and styles based on personal experience
Rated 4+ stars based on Golftown.com reviews
These golf gloves are also available in men’s with an almost 5-star rating.
Adidas Women’s Ponytail Sun Bucket Hat
Golf Town
If you’re golfing 18 holes on a sunny, spring day, you have to think about UV protection. I always opt for a hat in a light colour with full coverage rather than a cap or a visor. I believe part of a good golf game is your style, and bucket hats have been making a steady comeback in recent seasons. I’ll be sporting this hat from Adidas on the course for sun protection and style perfection this year!
Why buy this bucket hat?
One size fits all makes ordering online easy
Built-in UV protection plus an all-around brim for maximum coverage and made with recycled materials
Opening in the back for your ponytail

Puma Women’s First Mile Full Zip Wind Jacket
Golf Town
I play the majority of my rounds in the Town of Blue Mountains, Ont. where the wind sweeps across Georgian Bay and onto the fairways. I currently own two Puma wind jackets that are light to pack in my golf bag and offer an optimal range of motion on the tee box. There’s a size chart available on the website with detailed measurements for this one.
Why buy the Puma windbreaker?
Made from sustainably sourced plastic water bottles that are turned into fabric
Zippered hand pockets are ideal for holding your ball marker or an extra ball
High collar for additional wind protection

G4Free 54/62/68 Inch Automatic Open Golf Umbrella
Amazon.ca
I don’t let a little rain stop my game! This umbrella has an extra-large double canopy, is windproof, and comes in a multitude of colours (I personally like the bright options such as this ‘sky blue’). The heavy-duty fabric is designed to keep you dry on the course and also offers SPF 60+ sun protection. It comes with a one-year guarantee and an unconditional warranty for any defects in craftsmanship.
Why buy this golf umbrella?

Uther - Tour Golf Towel with Center Slit and Top Loop
Amazon.ca
I’m sure it’s no surprise to you by now that I like to attach a spirited golf towel to my bag. This brand offers a variety of high-fashion prints that are both absorbent and quick drying. They are non-abrasive for shining up your clubs or even your sunglasses and also wash up well in the machine at home. The pattern I own is this very happy-looking Paraiso.
Why buy the Tour Golf Towel?
Unique blend of moisture-wicking, soft microfiber that’s three times more absorbent than cotton
Waffle pattern removes dirt in club grooves and ball dimples
Lint-free
Rated 4.8 out of 5 based on almost 200 Amazon.ca reviews
