As soon as the April showers roll in, the golf season is officially open.
It's the perfect time to empty your golf bag and see what it takes to make this season your best yet. (I hope you remembered to throw out those sandwiches from last fall.)
After you've emptied your golf bag to a bare minimum, here's how to properly reset your golf bag (and other gear) so it lasts the rest of the year.
1. Discard scabby golf gloves and remove scratched golf balls

We're all to blame for this: stashing several golf gloves in our bag because we need to change mid-game. If we think about why we change golf gloves so often, you'll feel the urge to replace it: sweat. Yes, months of sweating explains why those golf gloves you didn't want to throw away at the end of last season are so stiff and smelly. Luckily, there are some low-maintenance ways to extend the life of your gloves after you've bought a new edition.
