Weyburn, Saskatchewan’s Graham DeLaet led the PGA in total driving last year, a stat derived by combining a player’s rank off the tee in distance and accuracy. Along with his clubs, here’s what the first Canadian to crack a Presidents Cup team since Mike Weir totes to tournaments. An abbreviated version of my story ran in CAA Magazine.
Manscaping keepsake: I never leave home without my shave kit. Not only does it hold my essentials (razors, toothbrush, paste, etc.) but I've also had it since I was an amateur. I received the kit when I played in the Canadian Amateur in Vancouver in 2003. I've thought about replacing it with a new one but it still works great and has some sentimental value.
Accessorizing: I bring one black pair and one white pair of FootJoy shoes and carry quite a few belts to match different outfits. Up to 8 at a time.
True-life thrillers: I'm currently reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman. I most enjoy reading books based on real people and life events that have some action, such as people going undercover in corporations or governments.
On-plane nutrition: My wife usually has ProBars that she's packed. Otherwise, dried fruit, fresh fruit and nuts. I also like coconut water when flying. I usually try to eat a meal before flying so I don't have to rely on nuts to hold me over.
Headcover flare: I have a Canadian maple leaf putter headcover in red and white. I like that I can always carry a symbol of Canadian pride with me when I’m playing internationally.
Travel Golf Bag: I've been using Club Glove for years. They are very durable and I've never had an issue with it.
Tablet Diversions:
I play lots of games on my iPad, anything from Paper Train to Candy Crush.
Comfort MacGyver:
I carry a hand towel that I roll up and put behind my back for extra lumbar support.
