Recommended Clothing: Mittens – must be large enough to slip in and out of quickly. Shoes – High tops; Zoom Bandon by Nike are high top golf shoes $175. Hat – fleece beanies are ideal. Golf Glove – FootJoy Wintersoft $22. Undergarment - Silk underwear. Slacks – Preferably wool. Upper Garment – Fleece zip top turtleneck. Parka & Outer Slacks - must be wind and rain resistant.
The idea is not to overdress. Layer light clothing with a wind resistant outer-shell. Mobility is key because any restrictive clothing can hamper an otherwise good swing.
