Layering & warmth

Autumn is such an exciting time of year. Plus, once every two years, it's twice as good, as we have the greatest golf tournament in the world to look forward to; The Solheim Cup.

We've seen all sorts of golf played out so far this year on the LPGA Tour. Will Suzann Pettersen's European squad be able to claim the title and extend Europe being in possession of the cup for another two years? Or will Stacy Lewis' troop of Americans be taking it home with them?

If watching the greatest players in the world take each other in Spain will have you itching for some golf yourself, you'll need to be prepared for the changing conditions as the autumn seasons gets underway.

Layering up

Now that we’re midway through September, you may well have your thoughts on the coming colder winter months. Winter golf is a different animal altogether when compared to playing in the height of summer, so it’s important you’re prepared and equipped with the appropriate clothing.

One of the reasons the interim period between the warmer and colder seasons can be so difficult to anticipate is climate. We’ve all been there where we’ve been caught in the rain without a proper waterproof on, or stepped out onto the course on a freezing day without a decently insulating mid-layer. Not being prepared for the weather really disrupts our concentration and stops us from enjoying our golf.

Rather than sticking on any old jacket, winter golf clothing is specifically designed to keep you warm and focused when out on the course. The materials used are stretchy and comfy to give you that desirable combination of freedom of movement to swing your clubs freely and a warm snug core.

We’re so excited to announce that we now have the latest winter golf clothing from Galvin Green lining the shelves of our pro shop! You can be among the first to try on one of these stunning pieces.

Please read on as we give you a rundown of some of the fantastic mid-layers that are guaranteed to keep you cozy this winter. 

The Malena

The Malena is a delightful polo shirt that features a rippling swirl of silver streaks stretched out over a bold base colour. The polo has a traditional collar with a three-button placket, and once you slip it on, you'll be in the right mindset for shooting some low scores. The polo is stretchy and breathable, so you'll feel light and comfortable as you make your way around the golf course.

The Dagmar

The Dagmar mid-layer will serve you well if you plan on heading out on a cooler day. This uncomplicated garment features a hoodie with a drawstring that you can use to tighten the hood and collar. You'll be grateful to slip the hood over your head when the first light seasonal rains start to break through from the clouds overhead.

The Leora

The Leora is a delightfully comfortable padded jacket from Galvin Green. Available in white, black, and navy colours, this padded jacket features a diamond pattern running all over the torso. The sleeves are a solid colour. The garment has a full-length zip that runs from the waist to the collar. You’ll be perfectly snug and content with the collar done up to keep the cold from going down your neck.

The Aida

It’s never fun being caught in the rain, but when you head out with the Aida waterproof from Galvin Green, you’ll be safe and focused on your game. The Aida is a heavy-duty rain jacket that features a two-colour combination with a secondary colour appearing on the sides and lining of the zip alongside the main tone. You can pick up this jacket in striking navy, coral, and black variations. This one will certainly have you planning more days out on the course throughout the colder months.

One of the reasons why Galvin Green is the pinnacle of warming golf apparel is their approach to waterproofing and insulating their clothing. Waterproof jackets like the Albert feature the company’s GORE-TEX material, which is guaranteed to keep you dry in any weather while giving you maximum breathability to keep you feeling comfortable and flexible.

The Insula tech found in their mid-layers and jackets is the result of extensive comfort research and engineering. The Insula material combines stretchy polyester with a warming internal lyocell yarn to keep you feeling pleasant under your clothes while still having the full range of motion in your arms and upper body.

Galvin Green makes the highest quality golf clothing on the market. If you’re on the lookout for a new mid-layer this autumn and you’re unsure of which jacket is the one for you, we’d be more than happy to show you our selection of winter golf clothing in the pro shop.
