Accessory lists tend to become a catalogue of things that sit in a pocket for a year. The filter used here is narrow: does the item come out on most rounds, and does it attach to the bag without adding bulk. That puts a marker first, since one is needed on every hole; a rigid mini flies straighter when it doubles as a tie breaker, a flexible one survives being sat on, and either should be tournament legal if you ever enter an event. Grip bags come next, because a pouch of chalk or rosin changes release consistency in humid air far more than a new disc does. A towel is only useful if it clips, so a grommet and carabiner beat a folded rag. Retrievers are sized by reach: sixteen feet of telescoping stainless pole covers most pond edges and creek banks, and having three hooks matters more than the finish of the pole. Gloves here are for grip and cold rather than padding, and a rubberised palm with a breathable back is the pattern that suits throwing instead of catching. Score gets kept either on a clipboard that clamps a paper card or in a putter pouch that holds a card alongside two discs, so pick the one that matches how you already carry. Everything on this list should live in the bag permanently.
