After a long hot summer where we hope you cashed in and enjoyed plenty of golf, unfortunately winter has come around once again. But...

Playing off-season golf doesn't mean surrendering to the elements; it just requires a smarter approach to your wardrobe and some subtle adjustments to your gear as well as your technique.

Cold winds, damp turf, and sudden downpours can quickly ruin a round if you aren’t properly equipped. Luckily, modern high-performance apparel eliminates the need for bulky, movement-restricting layers and there are clubs out there that can negate the softer, trickier conditions you typically experience in the winter.

So to celebrate the joys of winter golf (there are a surprising amount!) we've curated the best advice across equipment and instruction to help you combat the colder conditions as part of winter golf week, proudly supported by adidas golf.
