Golf in winter - what do you wear.

[SQ Bimmer]

No... you really don't. I'll take socal weather over the 4 seasons here in the D.C. area anyday.

Oh no doubt the weather is great here during the winter.

Still though, I like to challenge myself, and playing golf in the rain just seems like a lot of fun to me. When I was in junior high, I would sometimes ride my bike to school about 2.5 miles in the rain with rain gear on. I would get to school and my pants/shoes are completely soaked from the knee down (would bring a change of socks/shoes). Call me sadistic! It's just too bad it hardly ever rains here, and most of the time, it's "scattered" and doesn't really come down. But when it does come down, it'll come down, and I'll be calling in a tee time.

Around 50* or lower I wear thermal underwear and my rain suit!

[P3R3]

Shorts and a tee shirt. If it gets really cold I might switch to pants.

[pingman]

hmm, i'd prolly wear some layered under armour. but it never gets cold down here. i wear shorts and polo every outing all year! haha, with the occasional pants. man, i love the texas weather!

[uttexas]

45-55 doesn't bother me. I'll wear short sleeves and pants if it's sunny.
If there's a cold wind or no sun, I'll wear a skull cap

Below 45--won't wear shorts.

35-45 ski type pants, long sleeved under-shirt, skull cap

25-35 thermal underwear+ above + winter golf gloves on both hands

below 25--course probably isn't open. Haven't played below 25.

[flopdarock]

im pretty hardcore... you can ask anyone thats played with me... but i dont have fun in anything below 45

[EightBlue]

for me;

50s: Sunmountain rainpants, long-sleeved compression shirt, golf shirt, windjacket

30s: Sunmountain rainpants, long-sleeved compression shirt zip up fleece, windjackets, titleist fleece hat

For me - not matter what the temperature - its shorts and a polo

under 50 degrees i will carry a windbreaker but will only wear it while riding in the cart.

I just can not get comfortable swinging a club in long sleeves.

I don't golf during the Winter unless I go down south. I use the Winter months to reload my wallet for next season.

[TheMassHacker]

I can usually stick with regular khakis and a long-sleeve polo through November, when you still have the occasional day in the high 40's. After that, it's all about layering with me. Under Armour compression shirt, long-sleeve tee shirt, polo and I'll throw on a fleece vest and carry a long-sleeve windbreaker in my bag. That way I can shed or add as I need to throughout a round. Fortunately in winter golf clubs relax their etiquette so you can get away with tee shirt if you catch a particularly warm day.

Still, every round last winter I began to ask myself why I don't live further south.

[Lemay427]

I recommend taking a cart and getting a cover and a Coleman propane heater. Your clubs stay warm and you do not have to wear as many layers.


I know for some, riding a cart is not an option, whether it is course policy or just preference, but this way of playing allows me to play into the 30's lol.

[Acropo]

What do you guys wear in the winter.

Short-sleeve polo and light trousers, obviously. That's Spring weather over here!

What you were in 30-50 weather

I may slip on a sweater and a hat. or maybe a wind cheater if it's breezy...

[Golf_Gal]

I just bought some long golf pants :) I've been wearing those and I have sweaters that I will wear when its cold. I'm picky, but my golf pants do not go well with my golf shoes...not the color, just the fact that they are long pants and sort of "sneakers" :)

[Dr_Fu_Manchu]

The wife just bought me a couple of Sunice sweaters, that are merino wool and Hurricane GORE-TEX Windproof. I haven't had a chance to wear them yet because of work (or play golf for that matter), but can't wait to don them on the course.

[Meddle]

Below freezing = no golf
When it's high 30s into the 40s I'll wear my Northface fleece, which is really warm and windproof while still being light and flexible. Underneath I wear a long sleeve thermal shirt similar to UnderArmor. Jeans always get the job done in cold weather. Also, winter golf gloves, absolutely key.

[GolfNOnline]

Layer it up. Playing in Arizona you have to be ready to go down to your shorts. 80 in Dec can happen after it was 42 to start the morning. I'm usually out in golf pants "swishy) for the sound they make with a pair of shorts on underneath. Unless it's in the 30's to start the morning which means frost delay here, it's usually enough. I try to stay to a shirt and thin golf jacket and I take the jacket off ASAP, I don't like it.
