7 Purchases Every Golfer Should Make at Least Once in Their Life

I was scrolling through my Instagram explore page, when I saw this post reading, "7 purchases a woman should make at least once in her life".

The creator wrote simple things like a timeless piece of jewelry, a signature fragrance, and my personal favorite, a dress that changes the way you walk—or as the diva herself (Beyonce) calls it a freakum dress. (See Princess Dianna's 1994 revenge dress.)

Needless to say, I was inspired to curate a list of practical things that I believe every golfer should get themselves.

And notice how I said practical. As much as love a good splurge/"treat ya self" moment like playing Pebble or Shadow Creek for a golf trip, that's not what I'm really talking about.

No matter your skill level, these are the things I think a golfer should actually spend money on at least once. A curation of products we're calling "Adored by Addie" to help you gear up for fall golf, give your bag a refresh going into member-guest season or even start holiday shopping extra early.

A Real Lesson From a Pro

As much as I love a good social media swing tip, there's nothing quite like the real thing. Go see a professional, that's why they exist.

A Good Putter (That fits you.)

It's the most important club in your bag and the one you'll use the most. Invest in a good one.

One Lightweight Golf Bag

A bag you can actually carry is so, so important. You want something sleek and lightweight, one because you'll look like you know ball, and two, because it's just the move. Life's too short to have a cart-only bag.

An Outfit That Makes You Feel Like Hot Shit

I agree with having a freakum fit (the look that demands attention) especially for golf. Confidence is everything.

Ladies, a dress or skort is always a good start. Fellas, I think a sexy little tighter fitting polo to show off the arms is always a good way to go.

A Lucky Ball Marker

A truly underrated golf accessory in my opinion, and goated collector's item. A good ball marker is a necessity.

A Waffle Towel

There's something about those dimples that just make towels seem more absorbent—and science would agree. The honeycomb pattern actually creates a bigger surface area for better absorbency and faster drying compared to traditional towels.

An Emotional Support Water Bottle (That looks like it's been through war.)

We all have one. And I'm a firm believer in having only one, otherwise it's just wasteful.
