Top Tips for Winter Golf

For those of you still keen to carry on playing throughout the autumn/winter regardless of the weather here are a few simple tips that might help when the rain is falling.

Carrying an extra towel or towels is always a good idea as are spare gloves. We stock gloves specifically designed for wet and cold weather, which are worth investing in. Storing items like these in a waterproof (plastic) sealable bag will ensure they remain dry at all times. Don't forget the hand warmers also!

It goes without saying that having a good lightweight umbrella is always going to be useful and hanging a towel and even gloves from the spokes is a great way to keep them to hand as well as dry.

Use your rain hood for your golf bag to help keep your clubs dry. There are also many rain hoods on the market that will provide rain protection for your entire golf bag.

Give your shoes a check over and make sure the cleats aren't worn. If they are having them replaced will help avoid slipping during the swing. You are asked by the club to use metal spikes during the winter months.

Ultimately keeping your hands and grips dry will significantly improve your chances of playing well in the rain, however there are a few other alterations that are worth noting.

Play the ball slightly more forward and grip down the club slightly as this can help promote a slightly cleaner strike.

Play for less break and hit the ball a little harder when putting.

Square up the face in bunkers or even consider a pitching wedge in severe conditions as the wet sand can become very compact and makes it difficult to use the bounce as normal.

Adjust your club selection accordingly for the colder and softer conditions.
