We’re not there yet, but winter has arrived and the cold weather (especially in the mornings) has hit most of the country. But it is worth making the most of these late autumn days. Cooler temperatures usually mean emptier tee sheets, firmer fairways and some of the best golf of the year, as long as you’re not shivering on every shot. Straight layers keep you snug, warm and swinging freely from the first tee to the 18th green.
Here are five cold weather essentials from PGA TOUR Superstore, some of them marked down right now.
Adidas Originals 3-Stripe Golf Quarter Zip Men’s
This quarter zip combines adidas’ retro three-stripe look with a performance construction made for the course.
