Practical Guide to Winter Golf Clothing

Practical Guide to Winter Golf Clothing

As winter officially arrives in the United Kingdom this week the importance of staying warm and dry on the golf course is even greater.

Staying warm and dry are perhaps the two most important factors when searching for new winter golf clothing. Remember that it is relatively straightforward to stay warm and virtually impossible to regain lost heat once on the golf course. The easiest way to retain heat is to ‘layer’ a number of insulating garments, including a waterproof and breathable layer on-top such as a waterproof suit. Layering facilitates the warm-up of air between layers – if the temperature becomes too uncomfortable a layer can be easily removed or replaced when necessary.

Remember garment layers should be lightweight and comfortable with enough room to deliver a comprehensive golf swing. In the event of playing in exceptionally cold and wet conditions a series of three to four layers can offer the optimum level of protection. The base layer should act as a second layer of skin to prevent valuable body heat from escaping too quickly. Thermal garments can provide the most effective solution and allow perspiration to wick away from the skin – preventing the build-up of odour smelling bacteria caused by sweating.

A golf fleece or roll-neck sweater can provide the best solution to a mid-layer garment. Confidence Golf manufactures two items which are suitable for this purpose including the Confidence Performance Fleece and Confidence Roll Neck Sweater. Online golf retailer – The Sports HQ is currently offering a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion on the Confidence Golf Fleece, whilst the Roll Neck Sweater offers exceptional value at £19.99 for 3 garments. Many amateur golfers can spend many hundreds of pounds trying to improve their game, one common factor that is most overlooked is the need to stay warm and dry – doing so can provide a competitive advantage by maintaining concentration at key stages of the game.

The outer layer is the one area of winter golf clothing that should provide the greatest degree of protection against the elements. This layer should provide exceptional levels of waterproofing and breathability. A waterproof breathable suit is the most widely accepted item of winter golf clothing to offer the complete solution for top and bottom halves of the body. The new Forgan of St. Andrews waterproof suit now available from The Sports HQ provides one of the greatest levels of protection of any waterproof suit on the market and is supported by a 2-year waterproof guarantee. The same manufacturer has also launched a new line of leather golf shoes offering complete waterproof protection and exceptional levels of grip for confidence inspiring swings. For the ultimate in winter comfort a pair of winter golf boots from Forgan of St. Andrews can provide the ideal solution to the ‘great’ British winter.

To complete a winter golf outfit it would be advisable to purchase a pair of golf mitts to protect hands from the uncomfortable bite of sharp, cold winter’s wind. Finally, a golf umbrella can provide the obvious benefits to a player throughout the season. In the winter it is imperative to stay dry and therefore the addition of a golf umbrella to a winter golfing outfit should not be taken as granted.

The Sports HQ offers the complete range of golf clothing and accessories – factory direct from Confidence Golf with typical savings of up to 85% off the recommended retail price.
