Stay warm out on the golf course
Published November 6, 2009
The weather is getting cooler and the golf season is beginning to win down, but there still are plenty of chances to get out and play area courses before Old Man Winter comes blowing in.
There are plenty of ways to stay warm on the fairways.
One easy way is to limber up before your round. Hit a bucket of balls at the range and stretch things out before you approach the first tee.
Dressing in layers is another way to keep your body heat. Also, wear earmuffs or a hat and put on some gloves between strokes. It’s hard to grip a club when you can’t feel your fingers.
