A Rain-Soaked Round
They say baseball is the national pastime, but how many people over the age of 30 actually take routine batting practice? In reality, golf has surpassed most other sports in terms of participation. We might watch football, basketball and baseball on the weekends, but that’s only if the weather isn’t conducive for golf. If you’re planning to hit the links some time in the near future, make sure you’re prepared for the elements.
Some golf courses are only sparsely populated with trees, which makes them especially dangerous in a lightning storm. You’ll be able to play through the rain with golf rain gear and umbrellas in the case of a mere drizzle, but take cover once you hear the crack of thunder. Most courses are equipped with weather horns or alarms that sound when the club deems it unsafe to play in a storm. Keep your ears open for these sirens and live to play another day.
Tips on how to Golf in cold weather part 3
You want to golf in the colder weather but you do not want to be cold. Well if you dress in layers that are not tight to you so you can still swing you will be warm. If you are walking you will want to have light layers on just so you can adjust by taking off or putting on as needed to be comfortable.
I have noticed that if i wear a light t-shirt like cotton turtle neck and a sweatshirt or sweater i can stay very warm when walking. If it is windy i will have a lightly insulated windbreaker just to keep the wind out. Of coarse i have an insulated pair of winter golf gloves and a pair that is not insulated for marginal days.
I usually only get to the second hole and i start shedding apparel. But that is the advantage to dressing in layers, you can swing freely and still enjoy the game. And you can adjust your clothing to stay comfortable, as we all know the weather changes constantly on the golf course.
Importance of Good Golf Shoes
The most valuable skill a golfer can develop is the ability to replicate a well tuned golf swing. But replicating those perfect swings can be one of the most difficult aspects of golf to master. The first step in replicating the perfect swing is having the right equipment and the right golf shoes. Wearing clothing that is loose fitting and doesn’t restrict the body’s full range of motion is key, and having the right golf shoes will help you space your feet and be in the same position to swing. Golf shoes need to have a firm grip on the grass, as even the slightest slip can cause your swing to be skewed.
While there are dozens of different manufacturers of golf shoes, the maker isn’t as important as the shoe itself. The most renowned shoemakers don’t always make the best shoes. You want golf shoes that are snug against your feet inside the shoe, but also comfortable. Your golf shoes also need to be able to grip the grass and turf without any danger of slipping. When planted, your feet should remain still even if your weight distributes to one direction.
A Rainy day, Still Golf? part 2
Nylon rain 
gear is a good way to tolerate the damp or wet conditions you may encounter. These consist of a long sleeved jacket and drawstring pants that have a zipper at the bottom of the pant leg so that you can put them on without taking off your shoes. This type of apparel can be put on in less than a minute, which is good if you are caught in a sudden downpour.
The more expensive golf rain suits are not only waterproof on the outside but on the inside as well. Also important if you live where it can be hot and rainy is to have rain apparel that breathes. this will prevent condensation from building up and making you hot and uncomfortable.
When you put on rain gear over your other clothes you now have another layer to restrict your swing movements. That is why you want a lightweight thin suit. If you have tried a poncho for golf then you know what i am taking about.
Get your golf apparel, put it in your bag and then you to can golf on threatening days without worry.
