Pro Tip: Enjoy Golf to the Fall-est

With golf season winding down, it’s time to crank out every pro tip you can to extend your season into the fall. Fall golf may be one of the best times of year because it isn’t blazingly hot outside. You may experience some chilly mornings, but with the right gear, you’ll be prepared to keep swinging until the first snowfall.

This brings us to Pro Tip #2 -- enjoy golf to the fall-est by dressing the part.

It’s up to you to find your perfect combinations of fall golf gear, but GlobalGolf can help map out the necessities. Between golf outerwear, winter golf gloves and other fall accessories, you’ll be sure to hit the course in both style and comfort.

Here are the categories of fall golf apparel that will keep you warm and your scores low.

1. Golf Quarter Zips That Add a Professional Touch to Your Outfit

Golf quarter zips are the most popular fall apparel option. Between the advanced technology that keeps you from overheating and the clean-cut style, these golf pullovers will become your go-to chilly day choice.

The Pros at GlobalGolf recommend choosing a quarter zip brand that fits your needs and preferences. For example, you would choose a PUMA quarter zip or a Nike pullover if you are looking for comfort and fast sweat evaporation. You would choose a Greg Norman quarter zip if you golf on courses with a lot of wind and want to retain more heat. On the flip side, you would choose an Adidas quarter zip if you’re looking for something more breathable and has UV protection -- even though fall golf has cooler temperatures, sun protection is still key!

2. A Golf Layering System That Keeps You Comfortable in all Temperatures

Since fall golf can be a mixture of summer and winter golf, a cool morning may turn into a surprisingly warm day. This is where layering comes into play! By choosing the correct golf layers, you can mix and match your options until you find the optimal warmth retention; then, you can switch it up again once the sun goes behind the clouds for a few holes.

GlobalGolf recommends base layers that offer sun protection and anti-odor technology. We all know it sometimes takes us a few holes to be sure it really is warming up before we take off a layer. Since these base golf layers will be worn frequently, be sure to find one that is machine-washable.

3. Winter Golf Mitts That Prevent the Stinging Sensation From Hitting Your Shot Thin

We’ve all done it -- hit a shot just a little thin and then feel that jarring sensation run up your arms. If you keep your hands warm with winter golf mitts, not only will you never feel that sting again, but you will also probably hit fewer thin shots in colder weather.

GlobalGolf recommends finding winter golf mitts that keep your hands warm and are also water-resistant. By keeping your hands warm and dry between shots, you’ll be a much happier golfer and feel like you’re playing with your summer game.

4. Golf Hats That Help Retain Your Body Heat

While scientists argue how much body heat is lost through your head, we believe it’s better to be safe than sorry -- especially when your golf game is at stake! Whether you lose 50% or 10% of your body heat on cold days, wearing a boonie golf hat will keep you warm.

GlobalGolf has countless options to help you find the perfect boonie golf hat that is comfortable, durable and fits your style.

5. Golf Hoodies You Can Wear on and off the Course

Last but not least, our most cozy category -- golf hoodies. While golfers are beginning to wear these on courses, you will most certainly see golfers wearing hoodies off the course on chilly days. A more casual option than a quarter zip, the right golf hoodie still has a high-tech look and feel.

Find a hoodie that covers all of your bases, whether you wear them to the course or for a run, you will find you have warmth, UV protection and sweat-wicking capabilities keeping your body at the perfect temperature.

There you have it -- 5 ways to extend your season with the right fall golf apparel. Mix and match as you see fit and watch your game thrive.
