Just Golfing in the Rain

By Golf Guru Guy

Golf rain gear is essentially used by golfers when the weather is wet. Especially if you play in the northern states that get a lot of rain. Sometimes we dont have a choice but to tough it out through some soggy rounds

The right golf rain gear is important. All golf rain gear is constructed from lightweight fabric that allows free movement of the arms for an unencumbered golf-swing, and is completely silent and keeps the wearer comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. Unfortunately, high quality golf rain gear is expensive. Golf Guru Guy (GGG) has scouted out some good deals. Just click on Golf Rain Gear link on the home page and see who gets the GGG seal of approval

Rain Gear Essentials include your bag, hat, gloves and umbrella. That's all most players would probably think they need when braving the rains. A good jacket and hat are essential (And can be quite pricey, though we've found some great jackets for less than $150), but let the veterans of the golf rounds in monsoon season suggest a few more pieces of equipment to gird yourself with.

Rain-proof Bags: A bag that keeps your clubs dry, but what is even better is a bag that keeps everything dry, from your wallet to your blackberry, to the mini-bar and TV Al Czervik from Caddy Shack sported. Invest in a bag with water-proof pockets. After all, no one likes rain in their mint julep mix

Gloves: You should invest in a pair of rain gloves, because when it rains, that leather glove will soak up rain faster than a sponge " not to mention those grips. Rain gloves work better the wetter they are, so no matter what the downpour, you wont lose the grip

Shoes: Be sure to use waterproof golf shoes and if they get wet, most of them are guaranteed, so hold onto to that receipt and warranty paperwork because if they are still within the warranty period " Free Pair!!!! It's also a good idea to bring another pair of shoes to rotate amongst and allow proper drying between rounds. And lastly, extra socks in the golf bag never hurt.

Umbrella: The quality construction of the Golf Club Umbrella ensures it will be around for many a rainy round. A good golf umbrella is a no brainer for the hardened golfer who braves the rain and the wind. Be sure to buy a proper golf umbrella as they have "wind flaps" that stop the umbrella from collapsing or exploding outwards.

Well, you can go nuts, but these are the essentials you need to keep that great round going, no matter what Mother Nature has in store for your round Decent golf rain gear is essential if like me, youre mad for golf and play all year round.
