Golf Rain Gear " Just the Facts Maam

By Golf Guru Guy

If you frequent courses in the Northeast or Southeast, you've no doubt experienced rainy days. Lots of rainy days. And if you're like me, you don't let that get you down!

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

GGG recommends that you get a rain suit made or Gore-tex, which is the best material to have, just a little pricey A rain suit could run several hundred dollars, but we have seen deals as low as $129 or so And make sure you get one of those bucket hats. I know they look horrible, but if you want to keep the rain out of your eyes (especially if you wear glasses); they are the best hats to be wearing.

The Golf Bag: Your golf bag should have a good rain cover that keeps your whole bag dry, not just the clubs. Trying to keep your bag dry in a down pour is not easy, which it is imperative to invest in a solid Golf Bag that does not have pockets facing up where water can enter. Man, it really stinks when your cell phone and wallet get soaked because your bags pockets had more holes in them that Swiss cheese!!!

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

Wet Shoes for Dry Feet: Golf shoes that are waterproof are priceless (Though we still managed to find a few good deals for you), as they keep your feet dry and they're usually guaranteed, to boot! So, even if they do get wet, you're covered. Just keep the receipt! As your Vietnam veteran golf buddies will tell you, "Keep your feet dry." Be sure to invest in more than one pair to make sure the shoes have time to dry between rounds, and bring extra socks! Lieutenant Dan will tell you that there's no such thing as too many socks!

Wind-Proof Umbrellas: Durable golf umbrellas are a must for players seriously considering braving the storm. What better way to keep your equipment dry than to not let it get wet the first place? If youre going to get one, be sure it has vents on the top to keep it from inverting at the worst possible moment.

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. - 16004
