Best Cold Weather Golfing Tips

Tip #1: Keep your hands warm

Put hand warmers in your pockets (available in our Pro Shop). Consider wearing two gloves. You’ll want

to be sure your hands stay warm so you don’t lose any control or finesse over the golf club.

Tip #2: Keep your golf ball

Keep your golf ball warm! Golf balls don’t travel as far in cold weather. In fact, you’ll lose about 3-5

yards, depending on air density, for every 10 degree drop in temperature. So, keep that ball in your

pocket between holes. Easier said than done, but play smart! Don’t be afraid to hit an extra club –

chances are you’ll need it.

Tip #3: Layer your clothing

This is as important as anything – what you wear. You don’t want to bundle up so much (like Randy,

from A Christmas Story) that you can’t even make a good, full swing. Consider wearing multiple layers.

Consider wearing a long sleeve thermal t-shirt, like a poly-pro base layer. Depending on how cold the

weather is, try a short/long sleeve golf shirt and then a sweater. And if it’s windy, you may even want to

wear some sort of light-weight wind breaker. Don’t’ forget to wear a hat of some sort.

Tip #4: Have realistic golf expectations in the cold

Be realistic. Chances are you’re scoring average will slightly increase during the cold weather months:

golf balls don’t go as far, it’s cold and your body is stiffer, and the numerous other reasonable excuses

you could make. What’s important is that you’re still playing golf. You enjoy the game so much that little

will keep you off the golf course. Consider playing from the tees up since you won’t be hitting the ball as

far. Or it may be beneficial to play the same tees so you’ll have a chance to work on some different shots

and club selections. Playing through the cold weather months will do wonders for your golf game. Time

away from the golf course is typically a bad decision, for the golf game anyway.
