The cold weather is here in New England, and it's here to stay. I can still go out and play, and the cold doesn't bother me to bad, except for my hands. I currently have foot joys winter gloves, but my finger tips literally freeze. I have a north face apex jacket that I wear over my fleece, which keeps my body very warm. I'm considering getting north face gloves or maybe titleist mittens. Any suggestions?

Hand warmers, hand warmers, and more hand warmers. When I play, I put them in my pockets when I hit and then after I hit, I grab them and it warms them right back up. I'm sure those Titleist mittens would help as well though.

Another vote for hand warmers. My wife picked up a box of 6 pairs for about $5. Put one in each pocket, keep your hands in there as you walk to your ball, hit your shot, hands back in pockets. No cold hands. They last for a whole round.

I've always heard that if your hands (or feet) were cold that you should put on a hat...................

Yup....makes a big difference. I typically wear a visor when I play....one of the old school style tour visors that really does well shielding you eyes from sunlight....also keeps your noggin cool, too. Only downside is when you encounter cold weather. Yesterday I played in windy 45 degree temps. Wearing an actual full baseball style hat really helped.

I used to have a wool "Ben Hogan" type hat that was simply awesome for winter golf. I can't find that thing anywhere. I suspect that my playing partners conspired with my wife to hide the thing due to the fact that I didn't have the skills to properly wear such garb.
My thoughts exactly...hand warmers

You said it here. Hand warmers are simply awesome. My supply has dwindled down. A couple of hunting seasons ago I was in WalMart when they had them marked down to practically nothing....I bought the last two whole boxes they had....now I'm out and needing to resupply.

Gloves: I've tried a couple of different pair of actuall winter golf gloves. Try as a might, I just can't get the feel of the club with these things....almost like having to wear rain gloves on drenched grips. What I prefer is a looser fitting pair that you can simply slide on / off your hands easily between shots. Technical Clothing: Again, another revelation for me through hunting...now applied to golf. I bought a few sets of the whiz bang high tech micro-fiber camo pants and shirts. I could wear them (long sleeves) in the heat of Georgia September while bowhunting...and they simply wick moisture away immediately. The beauty of these sets is that in the winter they are excellent as a base layer, too. Keep moisture away from your body and you'll stay loads warmer. I bought a few golf shirts and slacks that have the same properties...great in the heat and as base layers in cold golf. Hand warmers in pockets where you can easily stuff hands between shots, tech clothing, wool hat and you're good to go.

You can find the "Ben Hogan" style hats at TJ Maxx occasionally. Even here in Arizona, I use handwarmers on early winter mornings when the temps will get down in the 30's. I usually keep a pair in my windshirt pockets and another set in my pants pockets. I am fooling myself into thinking they help keep the ball warm too....

I play in England all winter, but have lived in Boston so understand the cold temps. Titleist mitts are great, got a pair to replace a cheap pair I had and they are much better, but I would also throw in a hand warmer on cold days.

I'm in Florida so you might want to discount my opinion on this one.....

....but I love my Titleist mittens. Take them off to swing and they go right back on. I'm plenty comfy well down into the 30's and that's as cold as I'm going to play.

I'm experimenting with something right now. I'm using those really little winter gloves. Not the heavy duty ones. Just the small, not very warm, but better than just skin gloves. Then I'm putting my biggest glove on over it, so I have a good grip and my hand stays warm. Then on my right hand I just wear two of those little gloves on top of each other.
