Скачать или смотреть Winter golf at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club, 40 degrees, 2/2/25

Playing golf in 40-degree weather can be enjoyable if you prepare properly. Here are some key tips:

Clothing & Gear:

Dress in layers: A moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid-layer, and a windproof/waterproof outer layer.

Wear a beanie or ear warmers: Most body heat escapes through your head.

Use winter golf gloves: They provide extra warmth and grip.

Hand warmers: Keep them in your pockets for warmth between shots.

Cold-weather golf balls: Some balls are designed for better performance in cold conditions.


Gameplay Adjustments:

Club up: The ball won’t travel as far in cold air, so take more club than usual.

Take extra time to stretch: Muscles tighten in the cold, increasing the risk of injury.

Walk instead of using a cart: Keeps you warmer by generating body heat.


Course Conditions:

Watch for frost delays: Greens may be frozen early in the morning.

Expect firmer fairways and greens: Adjust your approach shots accordingly.


Winter golf can be fun if you embrace the challenge. Do you play often in colder weather?
