If you are new to the game of golf and have just got yourself a set of clubs (and plenty of golf balls), the next thing to consider is golf clothing. Playing golf in the rain can be challenging yet still enjoyable, and your score needn’t be affected too much … if you are wearing the right shoes.

If you are planning to become a regular on the golf course the first item of clothing, and probably the most important, is a good pair of waterproof golf shoes. They will be a sound investment, keeping you under par, and not feeling under the weather.

The most noticeable part of your game to be affected if you are wearing the wrong footwear will be your golf swing as your feet need to be firmly implanted and not sliding around on a slippery surface. To prevent this, golf shoes have either metal or rubber studs on the sole; most golfers prefer the rubber as metal ones can tend to damage the putting green.

There are various types of golf shoe to choose from, some have a waterproof membrane on the upper that keeps the water out but also allows the feet to breathe. The quality and prices of golf shoes will vary, most have a one or two year guarantee, most important is that they are comfortable and keep your feet dry.

Get yourself a good pair of waterproof golf shoes and the next time you are about to set off to the golf course and it’s raining outside … you won’t get cold feet!
