Honestly, the best bag for the Ryder Cup might be your own pockets. Wear cargo shorts. Wear a jacket with deep pockets. Become a human marsupial. I once saw a guy at a baseball game fit a whole hot dog, a program, and two beers into his cargo pockets. He was a legend.
Think of it as a game of efficiency. Your phone goes in one pocket, your wallet in another, and your sunscreen in a zip-lock bag inside your clear tote. Pro-tip: Wear a hat with a brim. It doubles as a bag for your sunglasses when they get sweaty.
The “What If I Forget?” Disaster Plan
Let’s be real: you will forget something. It’s human nature. Maybe you’ll show up with a leather backpack from 1998. Or maybe you’ll bring a giant tote filled with snacks like you’re going on a week-long road trip.

If that happens, don’t panic. There will be bag check stations, but they are not magical. They’re like the Lost and Found at a theme park—full of hope and regret. You’ll pay a fee and hand over your bag, and then you’ll spend the whole day wondering if someone is using your snacks as a pillow.
The smarter move? Leave it in the car. Seriously. Walk back. It’s a 10-minute hike, and you’ll burn off the overpriced burger you’re about to eat. Your future self will high-five you.
