The Winter Golf Accessories You Need to Buy

By: Liam Moore | Tue 21 Nov 2023

You’d be forgiven for packing your clubs away during the winter, but you do run the risk of sacrificing all the hard work you put in across the other nine months of the year. Playing golf in challenging weather can dampen the fun, but there are certain accessories that have been created to combat the cold.

American Golf and Scottsdale Golf are leading retailers for the UK golf market, and they house plenty of products that can help maintain performance and comfort this winter. We’ve selected ten that can help you get through this difficult period and head into spring with ultimate confidence and ready for the new season.

Longbridge 8 Hour Single Use Hand Warmer

From the products included in this list, it is vitally important that your hands remain warm and you can rely on their feel when playing golf. If you’re someone who doesn’t play too frequently during the off-season, then a single use hand warmer may appeal more to you. They are disposable and each hand warmer provides eight hours of heat, which is way more than you’ll need for a round of golf. They also don’t produce flames and are odourless too.

Vega Aqua Shoe Bag

During more challenging conditions, our footwear will undoubtedly become more messy and harder to clean from the exterior. Instead of placing mucky shoes into the boot of your car, you can protect the vehicle’s interior by placing them into a shoe bag. Not only will it keep your car looking spotless, but it will also restrict some of the odour and prevent it from circulating the car.

FootJoy’s Men’s RainGrip Golf Glove

Playing golf in adverse weather makes the challenging sport even more difficult, but there are certain gloves that boost performance during the worst type of weather. Golfers will be playing more controllably with the RainGrip glove from FootJoy, which maximises grip during wet conditions and ensures your hands do not slip from the club when swinging. Furthermore, the material used is fast drying and comfortable, whilst the Velcro tab delivers a secure and tight fit.

Callaway Trifold Golf Towel

Cleaning your clubs between shots when golfing is crucial if you wish to benefit from the club’s technology. Grooves that are filled with grime or dirt will produce unwanted and erratic outcomes, which is something that certainly reduces the enjoyment from golf. As you may imagine, cleaning them becomes even more important during the winter as you’re likely bringing up larger divots. Reliable towels such as this one are an absolute must for winter golf.
