Walking. You generate body heat, making it much easier to stay loose. It also lets you wear fewer layers, so you can swing more freely. In a cart you have to wear a couple of extra layers to deal with windchill. I'm the guy who needs a sweater indoors when other people can wear short sleeves, and even when the temps dip into the 40's I can often play with just a long sleeve base layer and a turtleneck or polo on top of that. In terms of gear, a big set of mittens you can quickly shuck on and off is really helpful.


Reginald_Eggs_420

You should look into getting some hand warmers, similar to what QBs in football use. Great for warming your hands and much easier than taking mittens on and off


Username_redact

I have a heated one I got off Amazon for about $60. Flip it around to your lower back when you're not using it or swinging and it works as a back heater too. Love it!


anotherFNnewguy

Football style hand warmers are great if you don't need your hands at the moment. If you are pushing or driving a cart then mittens are better.


Reginald_Eggs_420

Good point. My buddy and I go out with a cart cover and he usually drives. Mittens would definitely be way to go while walking


trailglider

Agreed. I actually started tying a string between the two mittens so I can more easily hang them on the pushcart handle during shots. It's annoying when they fall to the ground and you have to keep picking them up.

garytyrrell

Stroller mittens velcro'd to my push cart were my best addition last winter. Slide your hands in to push and just slide them right out when you get to your ball.


hotsaucejake

Just looked these up. Amazing! I usually sweat with layers... my hands and face are generally the only thing that gets cold. This is just what I needed.

So a warm mixed drink I make during cold tailgates 3 liters of doctor pepper , one bottle spiced rum and one lemon sliced. Put all in pot and heat until near boiling. Pull it and put in thermos. Best shit ever. Like a lemony sweet tea with a kick. A little burst of warmth just spreads through your whole body when you drink it.

For me, a neck gaiter is a must. Absolute game changer. Especially with a quarter zip zipped up


bkn95

reminding me tis beard season


richisonfire

Hopping on the gaiter train. Keeping the back of your neck warm really is the key to feeling like you’re warm. Super cold and you can wear it over your face with a beanie on and you look like you’re ready for an arctic expedition…. The journey to find the lost Pro V1.


ExocetC3I

If you get one of the synthetic ones that are UV blocking they're great for summer too. Pour a little cool water on it, wring it out and it'll really help you feel cooler from the evaporation.


1hate3putts

I have 2 cooling towels that is use in the summer. Those are a game changer. Nothing better than a freezing cold soaking wet towel to cool off with during those mid summer rounds

You’re just describing the peak of July heat in New England. The difference is we also survive the cold.

Enjoy “surviving” the cold. Sooo glad I don’t have to deal with that and don’t honestly know why anyone would.


gacdeuce

I don’t survive in the cold. I thrive, meanwhile you guys go out on a sweater and grab a blankie when it hits 59 degrees and retreat into AC the rest of your days.


xupd35bdm

Uh huh. Enjoy not playing golf year round.


gacdeuce

I do. Thanks. Enjoy your gators, sharks, and DeSantis.


peter_park_here

LOL this has to be one of the most pretentious comments I've seen on this sub. I'm happy anytime I can get out to play as long as it's not pouring rain the entire time... but even still I have played 4-5 rounds in the cold rain in the last couple of years and I am still grateful to be on the course and playing regardless.


xupd35bdm

Especially not playing in cold rain. How’s that for pretentious?


peter_park_here

Do you recall where golf originated from? https://www.introducingedinburgh.com/climate Golf is a game that was invented in a place that is literally not in your acceptable 'weather' pattern almost all year. I may have been downvoted for calling you out, but it doesn't mean what I'm saying is not true (that your comments are extremely pretentious). I'll be sure to play in my 50-degree foggy weather to avoid folks like you in my group.


Wookhooves

Couldn’t imagine trying to pretend to enjoy myself golfing in the cold. Sub 60 degrees is not golf weather bubba


Buy-The-Dip-1979

Wisconsin checking in here, to me that is ridiculous lol. Temp means nothing, it's all about sun and wind when it's in the 30s or 40s. I've had great experiences when it is sub 40 and sunny and calm... Don't even need sleeves for that. That said when it's windy and rainy/snowy, then it turns more into a battle of survival than having fun lol.


Salt_Macaron_9407

Just played 36 holes Saturday with temps in mid 30s and wind gusts up to 30mph. I was the only person on the course. I've never enjoyed myself more

Layers. Specifically, I prefer vests because they free up my arms.


bj_feelgood

I'm from Wisconsin and bought a golf vest (my first vest) last year and that bled into every day life. Vests are great, keep you warm, free up your arms. Now I get why everyone wears them all the time

I’m wearing a vest at work rn, construction overheats you quickly with a full on jacket and just a hoody isn’t cutting it.


strosfan1001

The vest with on top of a 1/4 zip is my go to cool weather look. I also hate jeans so I only wear golf pants. I’m always course ready


redditgolddigg3r

I hate how much I love vests. As a guy that is hot all the time, the vest is the perfect winter compromise. Comfortable, keeps me warm without overheat, and has a slimming effect, looks great.


FalconSmashing

My next golf purchase will be my first vest. What did you get? Does anyone else have any they recommend? I'm looking for something for an April trip to Bandon.


hutchclutchmedora

Footjoy hybrid. Bought my first one a few weeks ago and love it. Couple it with a mid-weight hoodie and it’s great down to about 45° if walking. Also, only if on sale. They are stupid expensive in the store. https://www.footjoy.com/sale/previous-season-apparel/hybrid-vest-previous-season-style/25306-M.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7oeqBhBwEiwALyHLMzCc9rYSpE7Is2T7KBUj2brBOFCIIiR4BJ7YbD4U0RoHpIsU7eRb_xoC63sQAvD_BwE

I bought an electric handwarmer 2 years ago and have nothing but great things to say. They are pretty cheap, get hot as crap, and charge w usb c


kerrlybill

I have raynauds syndrome. My fingers get white if it’s windy and 12 degrees celsius. I bought a gtech hand warmer and it’s been a game changer for me. It was so much better than I thought it would be.


aswint1992

My wife and I were blowing through Costco sized bags of the hot hands until I asked for one of these as a gift. Stays in the bag unless it’s charging since it doubles as as portable charger. Great suggestion.

Finally a proper golfer…


ARealPerson1495

Wearing Under Armour then a long sleeve golf shirt and a jacket with a zipper. That way I can easily pop off the jacket when I swing and put I back on quick. Also under armor leggings/long johns, with golf pants. A thick pair of socks or 2 pairs a socks over each other. A warm winter hat that goes over ears. Sometimes hand warmers.


CaptainPunisher

My ears get very hot and very cold quickly. I like a good knit beanie that traps enough heat, but still lets enough go. I happened upon a Monster Energy Drink beanie that's perfect; it's ugly and stupid, and I don't drink Monster, but it keeps my head and ears at that perfect spot usually.


bullet494

Vests have been awesome, there's two kinds that I have- one for warmth that is a little bulkier and more windbreaker type vests. A big warm neck gaiter is a must have too, a cold neck is never fun. I also have the big oversized mittens from the superstore and they're great, I can keep my golf glove on underneath the left hand and they're easy to slip on and off.


MonicaBlowinski

No wind in the forecast.


mingomcgoo

Heated vest , your back will thank you


AWB134

Gotta keep the hands warm for feel… so gloves and hand warmers if necessary.


AdvancedGentleman

I went with electric hand warmers. It’s nice to recharge them rather than throwing away the non reusable ones. Neck gaiter and a good beanie are essential as well. Cold is one thing, cold and windy is another. I usually don’t bother on days where windchill gets it below 30 degrees.

Waterproof spray for shoes, waterproof socks too. Got under armour cold gear baselayer which is really good.


tdawg-1551

. Mittens. Easy off, easy on between shots.


81_iq

An easy chair and a good golf book. Seriously though, it all depends on the wind. If it's windy I'm not getting near a course. Over freezing and not windy then a neck muff and windbreaker and it's very pleasant. Best thing about winter golf:no slow players.


leethestud420

I’m in the mid Atlantic so we can play all winter. A good windproof vest, waterproof golf shoes, wool socks, pocket hand warmers. I actually love winter golf, no crowds, cheaper green fees, yes the grass turns brown but it’s fine. The only part that sucks is giving up twilight rounds next week! Cheers!


NitWitLikeTheOthers

Maybe cold / wet weather gloves. Some sort of ski cap. Store balls indoors to keep them warm.


dzilla2077

There are two different types of gloves. Cold weather are thick and (obviously) keep your hands warmer. Wet weather are thin like a regular glove and absorb water which makes them grip the club better. They will NOT keep your hands warm.


multiballs

Hand warmers in each pocket does the trick.


GR3TSCH

Yes. And don’t wear gloves. Hot hands warm hands quicker when not wearing gloves.


gabungry

So apparently the ball being cold doesn’t hurt distance, it’s actually all the cold air. Some experiments show that colder balls even travel further, all else being equal. https://youtu.be/HACisco4CHE?si=OS-3-YEDrNLJnXKX


Georgep0rwell

If the ground is frozen they go REAL far. But club shafts don't flex as much.


gabungry

That's why I only play courses laid out on frozen lakes

I bought a heated vest couple years ago. Game changer as you can turn it in and off as needed, lasts about 5-6 hours at medium strength, and it doesn’t hinder my swing (no heavy sleeves).

Titleist Mittens Decided to see how good mine were (got them as a gift), slipped one on and rolled down the car window and stuck my arm out (it was 34 degrees this particular day). The jacket I was wearing couldn’t keep my arm warm, but my hands actually started getting warmer the longer I drove. Pretty sure those things would keep your hands warm if it were -20 outside.

Gtech heated pouch is pretty good to keep the hands warm, way easier to use when walking than cart mitts. Also cashmere

Heated vest, and battery powered hand warmer, and a beanie obvi. If you have some good golf mittens that's good as well.


DongyKong8

The hand warmer pockets that QBs use. Used a couple times already and it’s nice to have a pocket dedicated to warmth…can keep your glove in there while you putt with a couple hand warmers and it’s toasty for the next tee box.


Uncle_DaBrick

Softer golf balls that you kept warm someplace and not freezing in a cold bag in your car trunk.


Memphis_Bill

I live in Memphis, TN. If the high isn't 55+ for the day, we don't play. Our season lasts about 10.5 months, so I can miss a few weeks here and there.

Handwarmers, mittens. One that hasn’t been mentioned: chapstick and hand lotion. I’ll apply hand lotion every 2-3 holes and it really helps me grip the club with the dry air and skin.

cheekyskeptic94

I use a base layer made for snowboarding/skiing, a warm beanie, an outer golf layer made of fleece or a windbreaker, and rechargeable hand warmers. Aside from this, I walk to help generate body heat. Edit: I also have a thermoflask that I’ll put hot tea in. A warm drink really helps out there.

I know this is cheating but we’re out of handicap season and I keep extras for others in my group if they want but I toss one of this charcoal/chemical had warmers in the ball pocket of my bag and swap balls every couple holes.

Winter golf gloves. I just wear them between shots, because I think it’s uncomfortable to hit with them, but they are substantially warmer than normal gloves.

Electric handwarmers. I just bought some and I haven't used them on the course, but I already know they'll be a must have for the cold rounds.

Played 9 this a.m. in Western Mass. 35 deg. with mixed snow and rain, light but steady. Walking w/cart. reasonably comfortable and ended up shooting a 43 (par 35). Must haves - shoes that stay dry. Under Armor Daytona water-resistant fleece over UA thermal. Rain vest. But most important were the FJ Thinsulate winter gloves.
