How to play in the rain
Golf is a hard game. There's no denying it. But things get so much tougher when we hit this time of year and the elements are against us. So, how do you play your best in the rain?
Clothing & Footwear
The new year is well underway and it’s the perfect time to get some practice in before the golfing season is upon us.
However, we’ve no doubt if you ask any golfer why they’re not keen on heading out on the course in January, it’s due to the more challenging conditions.
If you’ve ever been caught out on the course in a fierce rainfall, you’ll know how chilling it is to be drenched head-to-foot, and how good the sigh of relief feels when you make it back to the clubhouse to dry yourself off and recuperate.
You’ll be avoiding feeling like a drowned rat when you add the latest golf waterproofs from Puma to your wardrobe. They’ll keep you warm, dry, and they’re an absolute joy to wear.
As we’ll all well know, our climate brings its fair share of rain. From slight showers to unrelenting downpours, you can almost guarantee that you’ll get wet playing golf in the wintertime.
Nobody likes being caught in a rainfall, but it won’t disrupt your game or your focus when you’re wearing the latest golf waterproofs. These jackets and trousers feature a waterproof coating that ensures the rain will run down the material rather than seep in and cause any dampness.
Rain may not be your favourite weather for a round of golf, but you won’t get wet when you’re wearing a golf waterproof outfit! Typical rain jackets may keep you dry but the material will become heavy with moisture and slow you down. Golf-specific waterproof jackets are designed to keep you feeling nimble and fluid, especially throughout your swing!
The winter months bring about a lot of turbulent weather, and the wind can be a big deciding factor of which club you take out of the bag when you’re standing on the tee. The wind may influence your ball, but you’ll be perfectly safe from it going through you when you’re garbed in a golf waterproof.
Engineered using Seam-sealed and stretchy material, these garments are light to the touch and help you turn through your golf swing with absolute ease. They’re also have a lot of stopping power when you’re confronted with gusts of wind, so you’ll stay warm and content as you make your way around the course.
In a nutshell, golf waterproofs keep your core feeling warm and secure without being flappy and baggy like a typical raincoat.
It goes without saying that there’s a lot less daylight throughout the winter period, leaving us with a shorter timeframe to enjoy our time out on the golf course.
As the darkness creeps in so does the temperature drop, but there’s no need to panic. These golf waterproofs are ideal for layering and they’re easy to wear and remove should you need to put a jumper on to keep your core warm.
These golf waterproofs have stretch properties that allow you to have a freeing sense of movement as you turn your body through your swing. Your movement won’t feel restricted at all even as you layer up on those chilly winter mornings.
When you walk into the pro shop, you may initially see a row of different kinds of golf waterproofs and not be able to discern any difference among them. Well, we’d like to take a moment to remind you why Puma is the choice of premium golf apparel.
Having been making quality sports shoes like football boots since 1948, Puma sunk their teeth into the world of golf in 2004 and has been making top-tier golf apparel to date. Acquiring Cobra Golf in 2010, Puma secures itself as a dominant figure among the biggest brands in golf.
With brand ambassadors like Lexi Thompson and Rickie Fowler, Puma clothing is worn by a wide range of players, from those of humble backgrounds to those at the very top. Their latest waterproofs are a testament to Puma’s distinct quality, and how the Puma legacy stands the test of time.
A perfect example of the quality that Puma regularly supplies is the DRYLBL Waterproof Jacket.
This piece is incredibly comfortable and easy to slip on and off thanks to the full-length zip that runs from the collar to the waist. The Puma cat logo appears on the chest with the Puma Golf brand name is on the shoulder.
Thanks to Puma’s StormCELL tech, the piece is designed to withstand both wind and rain, keeping you focused and in-the-zone as you make your way around the course. The DRYLBL is a performance fit and has stretchy material so you’ll be able to swing your golf clubs freely without any tightness or irritation.
The DRYLBL is available in a subtle grey, and we have no doubt you’ll be glad to have it with you when the forecast is predicting rain. If you’re looking for a new golf waterproof and you’re not sure of which one will best benefit you, please pop by and visit us in the pro shop, we’d be happy to help.
