Golf Clothing – Gloves for all Weathers

Golf Clothing – Gloves for all Weathers

If it's wet and cold you need to ensure you have the correct golf clothing including waterproofs and gloves.

Come rain or shine

If you're an avid golfer than you won't let a bit of rain or cold stop you from hitting the fairways. And thankfully, advances in golf gloves and golf clothing means you don't have to worry about the weather too much. Microfiber synthetic leathers allows water to pass quickly, preventing water build up and traction patterns on the palm is similar to a tire tread to channel water away and improve your grip.

Golf gloves and golf clothing

Golf gloves are an essential piece of golf clothing even if it isn't cold or wet. Some believe finding good gold gloves that fit well is as important as finding the right golf shoes. Thumb fit is critical because the digit is so important during the swing. Golf gloves are such a key part of golf clothing that it's said Tiger Woods goes through six pairs during the course of a tournament. Although other pros aren't so hot on their golf gloves, its rumoured Nancy Lopez used the same golf glove for eight years.

Take the weather with you

If it is wet and cold, than adequate golf clothing and golf gloves shouldn't restrict your game. Don't wait for it to start raining, make sure you are fully kitted out in the locker room first – it's not good being wet and then putting on your waterproof golf clothing and gloves. If you've watched the forecast you can be prepared.

Good golf gloves, waterproof golf shoes

As well as good golf gloves you should have waterproof golf shoes and a golf umbrella, one good tip is to pack a spare pair of golf gloves or any other waterproof golf clothing in a plastic bag so they don't get wet. Golf gloves are important because if your hands and grips of your clubs aren't dry your swing will slip – as well as waterproof golf clothing, pack towels too. Wet grips and gloves mean you will grasp your clubs tighter which will wreck your swing.

Appropriate golf clothing

As well as appropriate waterproof golf clothing and gloves, you should change how you play on wet courses – the ball when wet will travel shorter in the air for example. Wet grass is slower, so you will need to hit putts harder.
