Hit one more club to allow the cold weather and play the same ball you normally play. Also layer up with FootJoy outerwear and shoes. Might try a pair of their Stormwalker, Winter Golf Boots. Soft full grain leather with thermal lining. Renewable traction with Softspikes Pulsar cleats, 1 year waterproof warranty, Style #56729 and Winter Shroud Golf Boots, Style #56727. I bought a pair of these Rain boots in the states many years ago and they are awesome in cold and rainy days.

Waterproof and warm shoes are a key component of a winter kit. I think a solid kit consists of multiple layers of good performance gear and the offerings from F-J are amongst the best. Make sure the outer layer is wind proof to cut the chill. I’ve also found that keeping your head and neck warm is critical. The hats and ‘snood’ from Titleist are great and I keep them in my bag all winter. Finally, the WinterSof or StaSof-Winter gloves give you solid grip, even in the harshest conditions.

Thanks Erich!

Great tip on the glove! will be getting one of these - agree the Titleist Snood is essential!

Absolutely. Wrap up for some protection against the elements. This is the number one tip for winter golf. Wind, rain resistant gear. Warm shoes, socks. And, a good hat and pair of gloves to keep the extremities warm. Can't play a decent round of golf if you're cold through!

Ted off at 0804 yesterday in the frost and froze ! Checked in my bag for cold gear and found sun tan lotion. I have put every hat/glove combo in there now. Agreed on footwear, I have Stubert boots which are excellent.

hahaha i know that feeling all too well!

Winter weather characteristics vary from bitter cold, pelting rain and to near gale force winds or a combination of all of them. The key is to protect yourself from these forces of nature and it starts with your gear. I believe most golfers will miss protecting their head, feet and hands. Titleist and their affiliated brands offer a broad selection of winter gear that will help.

In my neck of the woods, winter golf is more about dealing with the cold temperatures, so I focus on proper layering. I wear a Titleist beanie and winter mitts (if needed) and that works very well. I usually don't play when it's raining and when I do, it's all about the DryJoys rain gear. I have friends who play golf and they swear by the hand warming packets.

I guess my best tip would be to layer up. That way as it (or you) get warmer you can shed a layer so you don't get too hot. Also the little hand warmer packets you can buy. Makes those thinned shots not hurt so much.

In the Northeast of US here, but we have definitely dealt with our fair share of winterized golf. IF you can have carts/buggies during winter then it's fairly easy (cart covers, heaters, etc). If you are a bit braver, and I understand you may have to walk more courses, I've seen the cart mits that connect to the push buggy, HotHands n HotFeet work wonders. A packed thermos of warm coffee or tea spiked also help :) Enjoy!

My best tip for winter is to dress in multiple light layers. It keeps the bulk down you can easily shed them as you warm up or as the day warms up. The ThermoSeries from FootJoy is perfect for this! Also having good breathable socks or multiple pairs on hand. Believe it or not your feet are still going to sweat in the winter. If your socks get sweaty your feet are more likely to get cold. Hope my tips help keep you warm and playing all winter long!

For me, the number one item to make winter golf enjoyable is to play up from where you might normally play from. If you play from tees that you feel are already long in the summer, move up to the next set. The ball will not be traveling as far in colder weather and layers of clothes affects your ability to swing so moving up will still be plenty of a test without you wearing out your fairway woods on all the Par 4 holes. Bundle up and enjoy your winter golf.

Thanks Dale - great tips!

Having golfed throughout the year in Aberdeen for years... A good pair of winter clothes, a base layer, some quality waterproofs and a snood!

It's the wind that's the killer!

shoes gotta be waterproof for sure!!

With the array of Winter Gear that is available in the Acushnet family (Titleist and FootJoy) one can really stay warm in Winter Conditions. I wear the Beanie and Pom Poms, Neck Warmer and Cart Mitts from Titleist along with previously said FJ performance layers and boots. If you can keep your vital areas warm, you can have an enjoyable day; hands, feet, ears and neck area. Definitely agree with those who mentioned those little hand warmers that you can pick up at Walmart or any sporting goods store. A mainstay in my golf bag. Place one inside the Titleist golf mitts and like playing in sunny Charleston in August, at least your hands. Can always throw an extra ball in there also. Hakuna matata. =)

Layers for top and legs...wool socks for the feet. Long johns with thinsulate as the base are great and make sure everything is windproof/resistant. Stocking cap for the head and ears is a must also. Handwarmers for the pockets. My wife gave me a down vest last year for my birthday that has a rechargeable battery pack. The heating elements are around the neck, down the spine and the front pockets. That thing has been a game changer for sure.

As others have said, layers, layers, layers. There are some great FJ items that will keep you cozy. In addition to the waterproof shoes, Smartwool socks are great for helping to keep the feeling in your feet.

Great waterproof shoes , and make sure to go in Layers . I live in New England go Sox . And Boston gets cold as long as there is no snow falling or on the ground I’m playing or practicing. So I hope that helps and hand warmers and Titleist golf mitts .

Pacific Northwest golfer here and we ALL must have proper rain gear FJ all the way with the FJ BOOTS!!!! FJ ALL WEATHER GLOVES A MUST!!!

Ditto the warm waterproof shoes. I love fj storm boots. My feet are always warm. Almost too warm if it's decent out. And totally waterproof over the ankles

Just about everyone here is talking about layers, and as you know, they aren't wrong. As you mentioned, a great pair of shoes is a necessity. I'm gonna go with what Ross M stated regarding the wind. In my experience (I'm in Michigan) the layers are nice for warmth and adjusting as the temps change. The real game changer is the wind though IMO. Find a great outer layer that has wind protection. If you can find a jacket and a pair of pants that protect against the wind, you'll certainly have an enjoyable round.

After doing my morning exercises and warmups. A first for me. Temps in the high forties and winds in the twenties with gust plus. After three holes and feeling something wrong in my lower back, I picked up my ball and went home. My doctor told me, regarding my back, if it hurts, STOP. I am listening more to my body than before. Off to PT at 9 am. The day was not a total waste, had a text on my phone when I got in my car, my new T350s and TSR1 hybrid were a my favorite shop waiting on me. Priceless. =)
