Steven's $100 golf bag is driving him crazy, and David has gone through THREE bags already. We break down what gear you actually need versus what's just expensive eye candy.

What we discuss:

  • Steven's golf bag nightmare - when kickstand legs attack your shins
  • The great tee debate: wooden vs plastic (and why someone called plastic "an abomination")
  • Why you don't need 14 clubs to play decent golf
  • Head covers: protection or just style points?
  • Golf shoes vs sneakers vs barefoot(!?) - what actually matters
  • The towel, glove, and divot tool essentials
  • David's confession: he's owned FOUR golf bags
  • Why a $100 ball marker is ridiculous when a penny works

Key moments:

  • Steven realizes he only needed 2 clubs for his entire executive course round
  • The barefoot golfer who bombs drives with no shoes
  • Why taking your glove off while putting prevents looking like a "newbie"
  • David's advice: Get good with fewer clubs before buying more

Bottom line: Golf gear is fun to buy, but most of it won't improve your game. Focus on the essentials: decent bag, divot tool, and clubs you actually know how to hit.
