Golf balls, too, are available in a wide variety. Most of them are available in white, weigh a maximum of 45.93 grams with 350 to 400 dimples on their surface. For playing golf at night, there are fluorescent balls which glow in the dark so that you can see the trajectory of the ball in flight.

This technology also helps golfers to calculate distances on courses.
Golf bags can be customized with monogrammed initials or with dedicated team colours. Bags sometimes have wheels attached to them and come with a stand. Golf clubs tend to be very heavy therefore you need a strong and sturdy bag which can weather the elements. Golfing gloves provide a good grip to the golfer when swinging the club and they absorb perspiration as well. Golfing shoes are equipped with special removable spikes which help in providing a sturdy grip to the golfer during a swing. Tees are used on the fairway for the first shot and these are plastic or wooden tapered sticks which hold the ball slightly above the ground so that the golfer does not hit the ground and damage the club or the green. The latest tees even have bristles to hold the ball.
