A Guru Guide to Golfing in Cold Weather

If you never want golf season to end, that likely means you’re one of the many brave individuals who go golfing in cold weather. 

If you’re tough enough to conquer bitter temperatures and icy grounds, we’re lending a hand with cold-weather golf tips and our best cold-weather golf gear recommendations.  Because the last thing you want is for the forecast, or your wardrobe, to get in the way of your game. 

 

What Are Some Pro Tips For Golfers to Conquer The Cold? 

 

Protect Your Hands

If you tend to tense up in freezing forecasts, you’re going to have a hard time getting a grip on your clubs. There are a few ways to keep your hands toasty, but the best bet is to buy a solid pair of athletic winter gloves and golf mitts. Make sure they are waterproof for snowy days as well. Another tip? Buy hand warmers to stuff in your pockets.

Choose the Right Footwear

Now that we covered your fingers, let’s talk about your toes. To stay agile, get out your best pair of cold-weather athletic socks that are warm, and moisture-wicking. And for shoes, think about the environment you may be stepping into. You’ll need excellent traction for muddy or icy ground, so buy heavy-duty waterproof boots or cleats that offer superior grip. To avoid slipping, clean out the bottom of your golf shoes periodically.

 

Shift Your Mindset

 If this is your first time golfing in the cold, you need to adjust your expectations. Take this as an opportunity to sharpen your skills for the spring and summer seasons. You will face unfamiliar and unpredictable conditions, but that’s the fun of the game. Be prepared to move slower with intention, as it may take more time to move from hole to hole. An interesting phenomenon to keep in mind? If your golf balls are cold, they will not fly as far. To account for this, take stronger swings or switch your clubs.

Grab High-Quality Golf Gear

Don’t show up to the golf course unprepared. According to Golf Monthly, there are so many little ways to prepare, from using durable, winterized wheels if you’re using a golf trolley, packing extra towels to clean off your clubs, and rocking a golf snood to deflect wind. But the number one piece of advice? Wear high-quality layers. And that’s where we come in. 

Our golf apparel is made with exceptionally durable fabrics that are built to last, not break down. Not only do we want you to feel good golfing, we want you to look good too, especially if you’re heading to the course from the office, or celebrating in the clubhouse or nearby restaurant after. That’s why our sleek styles strike the right balance of warmth, breathability, comfort, and, of course, crisp looks. Put all this together, and you have an optimal apparel solution for most golfers.
