For many, the first sign of leaves turning orange and falling from the trees signifies the time to retire the clubs to the garage until spring comes around again. But it needn’t be this way - a drop in temperatures shouldn’t stop you from playing the game you love. To combat the cold, however, you’ll need an appropriately stocked wardrobe, one that has a variety of items to keep you warm and comfortable on the course when the weather isn’t especially favourable. Hopefully, this showcase of items will provide you with inspiration as to the gaps you need to fill and the things you need to think about when playing this winter.
