The chilly days are upon us!
TREY’S TIPS FOR ENJOYING A CHILLY DAY ON THE COURSE
• Dress in layers. It might keep you warm, but wearing your ski parka will turn your golf swing
into a slap shot. You simply can’t make a full turn in a jacket. Instead, wear a turtle neck or
insulating layer followed by a shirt and thin sweater or wind shell. This layered approach will
keep you warm and still allow you to make a full golf swing.
• Keep your hands warm! This is the single most important tip for cold weather golf! Your hands
are your only link to the club, and you need feel to play good golf. If your hands are frozen,
you lose all of your feel and your game will suffer, especially around the greens. Get yourself
a nice pair of mittens or Cold Weather Golf Gloves from the Proshop and/or some hand
warmers for your pockets. Wear the mitts whenever you aren’t hitting a shot, and take them
off prior to hitting.
• Cover your head and ears! Some say that up to 55 percent of your body heat can be lost
through your head. It is smart to cover your head and ears with a hat, stocking hat or ear
warmers.
• Play a softer ball. In cold weather you’ll want a ball that is easier to compress. A hard ball like
a Top Flite XL will feel like a steel ball bearing on a cold day, so opt for a softer option, like
the new Bridgestone RX or Callaway Chrome.
• Use more club! Check the ego at the pro shop! The ball doesn’t go as far in the cold. You might
have to take one for the team and hit two more clubs on every approach shot, but at least you’ll
be sure to get to the hole. Because the ball doesn’t go as far, also consider playing one tee up
from your normal length. There’s nothing that will ruin a day faster than having to hit 3-wood
into every par three and four.
• Relish the challenge. Tom Watson loved playing in adverse conditions. He knew that half the
field was virtually eliminated before they even started because they dreaded being cold or
getting wet and didn’t really want to be there.
