I’m not sure about you, but fall is one of our favorite times to play golf. The courses are less crowded, the conditions are still excellent, and best of all, the weather is cooler in almost every region of the country. That means cool mornings followed by comfortable afternoons and plenty of opportunities to add or remove layers throughout your ride. With the right gear, you can stay comfortable on the course from sunup to sundown!
