Technical advice for winter golf

Always remember protective equipment – It’s important to stay warm and dry if you’re out on the freeway for most of the day. A raincoat should keep you well protected from the rain however it is essential you invest in a large, sturdy golf umbrella as this will be able to provide you with overall protection throughout the day. A golf towel is also an item which should always be in your caddy to dry your clubs, golf ball and not to mention yourself.

Try and keep your golf balls dry and warm – Heat your golf balls up on a radiator at home before you leave and try to keep a few in your pocket, swapping after each round. This should ensure your golf balls are kept at optimum temperature, even in the cold air which can cause your ball to harden and compress.

Always have a golf GPS system at hand – Golf GPS devices are an excellent and modern way of improving your overall awareness of the course, giving you the distance to the hole and potential hazards. Golf GPS will become even more vital during the dark, winter months when light and visibility is particularly poor.

Remember to take advantage of winter rules – When playing amongst friends and even in certain competitions during winter there are a number of ‘preferred’ lies which are allowed to improve the game. It’s is up to you which of the rules you wish to use, however most people will often allow players to pick up and clean their golf balls and clubs to minimise penalties.
