Picking the Right Golf Shirt for the Weather

Golfing in the wrong clothing makes your game suffer, and you feeling uncomfortable and out of place. Do not let this happen to you! Picking the right golf shirt for the weather is necessary for a comfortable golfing experience.

Determining the weather

Before golfing, it is a good idea to check the weather on the Internet or the local news station. Even though it looks sunny and dry, rain could come up in the forecast. The opposite also occurs; rainy weather turns to blue skies and sun just as quickly.

Choosing a shirt and accessories

A cool weather day usually calls for a long sleeve golf shirt and possibly a sweater or jacket. If the temperature varies between slightly cool and warm, it is a good idea to wear a short sleeve golf shirt (or a long sleeve, depending on the weight of the material) with the option of a sweater or a lightweight windbreaker to fight the breeze. If there is a possibility for rain, the windbreaker is vital for keeping you dry. Rain also requires the use of a fast-drying fabric, such as a moisture wicking microfiber shirt. On a beautiful, sunny day, wear a short sleeve polo and a nice pair of golf shorts. Check that the shirt is made of a moisture wicking fabric and a lightweight, breathable cotton that keeps you cool and dry despite the hot sun.

With the right attire for the weather, golfing is fun, comfortable and relaxing, even if the weather is not perfect!
