The northern half on this country has not had the chance to golf for a while but now is the time to get prepared so when opening day comes you can put on your golf apparel without wasting time and grab your golf equipment and get out there.
If you always forget year after year to get ready until your buddy calls and says the course is open and he has a tee time in one hour, then you panic, this is your wake up call.
Get ready now, check out your golf equipment, upgrade and be ready. Remember last year getting rained out constantly during the spring! Maybe now is a good time to order the golf cart cover so you can golf anyway and not get wet.
Stay out of the cold with a golf cart cover for your cart or the rental and enjoy spring golf with those intermittent showers that had you wearing your rain suit all day.
Spring Golf — a wonderful thing
Golfing in the spring after the long winter up here in gods country is a long anticipated thing. When the golf cart and golf clubs get put away in the back of the garage and the golf apparel goes into winter storage I was ready for a break from golf.
It was nice to get on with the winter activities and a change of pace. But that was in the middle of November. Now it is March and the snow is melting from the warm sun and everyone is starting to bring up, not long until we are golfing again.
And I Can’t wait for that. Now is the time to get the golf apparel out and see what you have left and what was worn out and you threw away last fall. Hopefully you did not keep that way out of style stuff for yet another year.
Now is a good time to look through your golf clothes and look through the Internet to get what you need. When opening day comes you will probably need more cold weather apparel and you better be ready. But hopefully it will not be long after that you will need shorts and golf shirts and a few new golf balls and a couple pairs of new golf gloves.
Get moving and inventory your golf apparelso you ar ready for opening day!!
Women’s Golf Apparel Shorts and Skorts
The ladies have quit a choice of golf apparel to wear. The amount of different designs and colors and combinations of colors is staggering. And then there is the shorts or skorts question.
I personally vote for the skorts on most any of the women out there. Either way the ladies look better in shorts than us men but in my opinion the skorts are a very good addition to the women’s golf apparel.
The skorts are sexy and attractive without being overly so. I mean the women can look good and are wearing something that is very functional and comfortable at the same time. I have not worn them so i guess i have to take my wife’s word that they are very comfortable. She wears them often and has many pairs of skorts and also shorts as i am sure most of you ladies out there have.
But you can never have to may as the styles change and you ladies have to keep up, us men know that for a fact. You ladies just keep looking good out on the golf course, if you are comfortable and spend more time golfing you will just keep getting better.
Ladies Golf Shoes
I thought that men had a huge selection of golf shoes to choose from between the colors styles and pricing due to the amazing technology in a golf shoe. Then on day browsing through the golf equipment I accidentally clicked on women’s golf shoes.
That was a revelation, of coarse I should have known better. Just walk into a regular shoe store and pay attention to how much of the store is women’s shoes and how much is men’s. The same thing applies to women,s golf shoes section on the Internet, imagine that.
The ladies always have matching apparel, some even when doing yard work and house work. There are so many different styles and color combinations that go with every different technology of womens golf shoes. They even have soles with suction cups for comfort and no cleats for the slower swing speed ladies.
Winter Golf Gloves
The winter golf gloves can come in handy for other things besides golf. I would bet that some of you down south golfers got some unexpected snow this winter and used your golf gloves to hold on to that shovel handle. I would bet that works pretty good to, good grip.
Speaking of grip i know when i play golf and if is cold enough to wear my winter golf gloves i have to change my grip. By that i mean that with two gloves on I have so much grip that i twist the golf club a little and my ball goes off line.
I only have one pair of winter golf glovesand they are Etonic with thinsulate. These gloves where not cheap by any means but they are very high quality and very warm. Usually when i put them on by the time i get to the third hole my hands are starting to get very warm and I can take them off.
Look for part two for the rest of the story.
Golf Apparel Get ready for Spring
Is it time to start thinking spring yet. Up here in northern Wisconsin we are thinking the worst is probably over. Every day that goes by now is less and less chance the temperature will dip below 0 degrees.
That does not sound like golf weather but we start golfing as soon as the snow is gone and the greens do not have frost on them. April in when that happens and it is not that far away, thank goodness.
Of coarse the golf apparel we will be wearing then will be what the southerners are wearing now. High socks and long sleeves and layers of warm clothes and hopefully you can still swing the golf club. There is new golf apparel out all the time and with the weather starting to warm we northerners get a break.
You see as the country warms up more and more the cold weather clothes are put at a discount because less of the golfers in the country need them. But we are just getting to the time some new golf apparel will make us feel good and golf season will seem much closer.

Womens cold weather golf apparel
This time of year it is a good idea to dress in a couple of layers so you stay comfortably warm when you go golfing, it’s not like you can not go out. For the women there is many choices when it comes to layering womens golf apparel.

Check out the new chilly weather gear for womens golf, there are many cute and addorable tops to put together for that classic layered look and still be warm on a chilly day.
It just is not right to go to the golf course with cut-off blue jeans for shorts. The golf course is not a snooty place to go usually anymore but the clothing on attire usually seen on most public, private or semi private golf courses is quality.
I have been to many golf courses in my many years of golf and i feel very much out of place if i would go golfing in a tee shirt and cut offs. You need a nice collared shirt and a nice pair of shorts or pants not necessarily pleated but nice cotton khakis or something like that.
So if you are new to golf and do not want to feel uncomfortable when you go golfing or you do not want to be refused a tee time for not having a collared shirt then do not dress like you are doing yard work. You never know when there might be a pretty lady or two there you want to impress so always think golf apparel when going out.
What do you do when you are on the golf course and it looks like a big storm is on the horizon? Do you pack it up and head in to the club house early so that you do not get wet?
If you do that you may miss out on finishing a round of golf you have been looking forward to for two weeks. You need to have a packed up rain suit in your golf bag. If you had rain gear one thing is that you do not have to run off of the golf course just because it looks like rain.
Usually when i am golfing and it looks like rain or is threatening to rain you can go 6 or even 8 more holes and many times finishing your round without getting wet. The key is have a rain suit so you can stay out and not worry about getting wet.
A good quality golf rain gearpacked in the golf bag is a needed piece of equipment so you can enjoy the game of golf.
