Funny you should mention golf. I'm very close to a golf club. http://www.royaloaksgolfclub.com/Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Royal Oaks Golf Club other than living within close proximity. Jeanette Isabelle

I bought a Mini MAGLITE (to be carried on my belt), hand sanitizing wipes and Coppertone SPORT Sunscreen Stick. https://www.coppertone.com/products/sport/stick/stick/The sunscreen stick does fit in the side pocket but, being a stick applicant, it feels waxy. I need to find something small that does not feel waxy. Jeanette Isabelle, Many of the most popular sunscreen brands sell a 3oz travel size. Check the travel sections in your local Walgreens, CVS or supermarket. I use a Gotoob type bottle and fill it with my favorite sunscreen. I get a number of days use from a 3 oz size squeeze tube. Below is a link to show what I'm discussing but there are many similar type bottles available in store travel sections. The key is to find one with a tight fitting lid. I put mine in a sandwich sized ziplock to be safe from spills. http://www.humangear.com/gear/gotoob***I just read the previous posts and see you already tried a 3oz size and it was too big. Gootube does make a 1.25 oz size container.

Many of the most popular sunscreen brands sell a 3oz travel size. Check the travel sections in your local Walgreens, CVS or supermarket. I already tried the 3 oz size: Today I bought a 3 oz tube of sunscreen. It fits in the side pocket, barely. The side pocket is a bit crowded so I need to find an even smaller size sunscreen. I need something even smaller than 3 oz. Jeanette Isabelle

You can get 1 oz, flip top/flip spout, squeeze bottles in the cosmetics and travel sections of department and convenience stores. I've been using these to carry sunscreen in my hiking pack and bow case.

Today I bought sunscreen small enough to fit in the side pocket and it works for me. I just removed the carabiner. I bought Jack Link's Beef & Cheese Snacks and put one in the large compartment with the rest of the food. Sometimes I need something more than a protein bar. I put a second 8 oz bottle of water in the large compartment. Twice someone else needed water and in one of those situations I needed water after giving up mine. One time I needed to walk home and I was sweating. Fortunately I passed by a car wash and bought a disposable towel from a vending machine. Today I bought these. At home I tested one to know if it would work. To open one of the packs required the use of my EMT shears. The towel also felt rough when opened. I went to the bathroom sink to simulate what my face would be like on a hot day. The towel immediately softened as I dried my face. I put the second towel in the side pocket of my bag.

Cool! I always wondered how those little "towel tablets" worked. I will pick some up myself.

I replaced the Purell wipes with a Germ-X single because the cloth is bigger, softer and does not quickly dry out. Also my skin is not left with any residue. http://germx.com/products/germ-x-antibacterial-hand-wipes-singles-100-count-box/Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Germ-X other than I really like their products.
