Play on!
It won’t surprise you to hear me say this, but there’s never a bad time to play golf. You’re probably thinking ‘What if it’s pouring with rain? What if it’s freezing cold?’. Well, as long as you’re prepared, that’s never an issue.
Clothing & Footwear
It's far more than that
During the winter, we hardly leave home without looking out the window and checking the weather forecast first.
Getting caught in the cold rain when you nip down the shops can really dampen your mood, let alone when you’re midway through your round on the golf course.
However, poor weather is one of those things we’ve simply got to embrace in life, and let’s face it, it often looks much worse from the window. Playing through the rain and pulling off some great shots despite the harder conditions can feel incredibly rewarding.
It goes without saying that you need to be wearing clothing that’s up to the task of protecting you when you’re outdoors among the turbulent weather. So, what do you go for? Do you go for the standard raincoat you can find in any high street shop, or a quality waterproof purposefully built for golf?
In the pro shop, we stock stretchy waterproof golf jackets from FootJoy in a variety of sizes for your convenience. These jackets are simply fantastic, but why should you choose a golf waterproof from FootJoy over any other brand?
Why go with FootJoy?
FootJoy are renowned for their durable outerwear, and their jackets have been used by local golfers just starting out, right the way through to the best in the game.
If you know anything about golf clothing, FootJoy’s reputation precedes them as being the #1 footwear brand in golf, and the same diligence and quality extends to their apparel. Since the release of the first FootJoy shoe in 1923, FootJoy has experienced exceptional success throughout the 20th century, and they expanded into glove and performance outerwear in the 90s.
Having pioneered innovative waterproofing tech including their Sta-Dry Extreme System in 2004, FootJoy knows what it takes to keep you dry. FootJoy are regularly championed by the best in the game, and have players like Justin Thomas and Max Homa as acting brand ambassadors.
One such FootJoy golf waterproof you’ll no doubt find as comforting as it is practical is the HydroTour Waterproof Jacket. Here’s why their latest outerwear is perfect for use on the golf course…
The FootJoy HydroTour Waterproof Jacket
The HydroTour Waterproof Jacket is made from a fully waterproof polyester material that moves with you both when you’re walking and when you’re swinging your golf clubs.
This piece features 4-way stretch material, this component ensures that the fabric can effectively be pulled in any direction to ensure you don’t feel any restriction when you’re turning sharply through your golf swing.
You may well think that outerwear and protective clothing must be broad and bulky, but that simply isn’t the case with this jacket. The HydroTour is lightweight and breathable, helping you feel nimble and ready for action from tee to green.
What really separates this from your everyday rain jacket is the sheer quality of the product’s design. The 3-layer fabric is effortlessly breathable, and the piece features a unique under arm zip venting system to keep your arms feeling fresh and ready for action in all temperatures.
You can also get a matching pair of golf waterproof trousers to go alongside the HydroTour Waterproof Jacket to keep your bottom half similarly protected. Wearing this whole outfit throughout the winter will have you embracing the conditions regardless of the weather forecast.
We stock all kinds of clothing and waterproofs in the pro shop, and if you’re considering getting yourself a dependable jacket for the coming winter, we’d be happy to help you find the right one in the pro shop.
