Golf is a pastime in which you can head out to play for 3, 4 or even 5 hours and look forward to experience a assortment of weather. It might be bright and sunny as you head out, but the conditions could turn as you are out competing. It is for this reason that the bags are so weighty and you end up carrying so many layers.
But what are these layers all about and how do you work them?
I came to the hobby of golfing from a different outdoor hobby that also requires a great deal of weather protection - distance running. But in distance running you don’t have the bonus of a bulky bag with many extra layers tucked safe and sound inside. You head out for 2 or 3 hours, with no further layers other than what you are dressed in.
So I have an comprehension of the import of using the proper sporting clothing and the rewards they can bring.
That is why when dressing for golf, as with dressing for running, I begin with and understand the meaning of the use of the so called base layers. These layers, in running terms, are made of technical fabrics.
These are man made fabrics that assist you to keep your temperature steady. They extract sweat away from the skin, keeping you from the effect of chilling as your sweat dries. In warmer weather, or when you are working hard, the extra sweat produced is drawn away to keep you comfortable.
Unlike your bog standard t-shirts and further garments that you might pick up from your local fashion retailer, these base layers are also carefully designed to ensure that seams are not in places where the movement of the sport will cause them to rub and in the more expensive gear, they can also be expressly stitched to further keep them away from your skin.
So base layers are comfy and help to keep you warm in winter and comfortable when the weather is sizzling. They should be an crucial portion of your clothing arsenal every time that you head out onto the course, or even just the practice ground or range.
