Dealing with unpredictable weather on the course

OK, so summer may finally have arrived here in the UK, but let’s face it, the weather’s still far from predictable. One moment, you might be stood in sweltering heat on the golf course, while the next you’re running for cover from lashing rain.

Getting a round in under conditions like this can be tricky, but you shouldn’t let it put you off. If you waited for guaranteed good weather, you’d hardly get out on the fairways at all!

Layering

The trick to any good golf outfit is layering. There are so many ladies’ golf clothes available these days and you won’t struggle to find exactly what you’re after. Being able to add to or remove items from your ensemble means you’ll be able to stay comfortable no matter what the weather does.

Slipovers

For example, over the top of your T-shirt, it’s handy to wear a slipover. If a chilly breeze picks up or the sky clouds over, you can simply reach for this item and hey presto, you’ll be nice and warm again.

The Ashworth Ladies Sleeveless Pullover Sweater in Frenchblu is well worth a look. This luxurious, soft garment stretches to allow for maximum freedom of movement. It features a cuffed neck, hem and shoulders and it looks great both on and off the course.

Don’t forget your jacket!

Even if it’s nice and sunny when you set off to play golf, make sure you take your jacket with you. At the time, this might seem over the top, but summer jackets are easy to carry around and you’ll be pleased you have it if the heavens open.

If you’re on the lookout for a stylish new coat, perhaps the Sunice Typhoon Felicity Ladies Waterproof Golf Jacket would be ideal. This is waterproof, breathable, featherweight and windproof. It’s also stretchable, meaning it won’t restrict your swing.

Eye protection

For those occasions when the sun is out, eye protection is crucial. Having a cap or visor in your bag is always a good idea, and you might want to take some sunglasses too.

The Green Lamb Ladies Golf Visor is a great product to have and it’s available in white and blue.

General tips

As well as layering up on the golf course, it’s important to carry some sunscreen and water with you while you’re out and about. If the temperature suddenly climbs while you’re on the course, you can quickly find yourself dehydrated and sunburnt, which is a sure fire way to ruin your fun.

Meanwhile, if you hear thunder and it seems to be getting closer to you, make sure you leave the course ASAP. When it comes to lightning and golf courses, you don’t want to take any chances. You can always sit in the car for a while and wait until the storm passes, or just head to the clubhouse and enjoy a well-earned drink.
