How to play in the rain
Golf is a hard game. There's no denying it. But things get so much tougher when we hit this time of year and the elements are against us. So, how do you play your best in the rain?
Clothing & Footwear
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?
One such J.Lindeberg golf waterproof you’ll no doubt find as comforting as it is practical is the Theo Rain Jacket. Here’s why their latest outerwear is perfect for use on the golf course…
The world of golf apparel had hit a slump come the 90s. Clothing was primarily beige in colour and baggy, meaning golf felt even more miserable when the rains started to fall.
Founded in 1996, J.Lindeberg turned the industry on its head with their bright, vibrant, appealing designs. Injecting style and colour into each article of clothing, we challenge you to find a golf clothing brand that stands out more.
The brand has plenty of substance to go along with their style too, and their waterproofs are light, breathable, and ideal for hours spent on a rainy golf course. With brand ambassadors like Jesper Parnevik, J.Lindeberg has been putting personality at the forefront of the designs at every stage of the game.
The Theo Rain 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 windproof 4-way mechanical 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 Theo 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. Besides protecting you from the wind and rain, J.Lindeberg has given this piece zip-sealed pockets to ensure your valuables stay safe throughout use, and the elastic and velcro adjustable cuffs will give you an ideal fit each time you slip the jacket on.
You can also get a matching pair of golf waterproof trousers to go alongside the Theo Rain 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.
