Golf Random Irritations

Thin is best - most waterproof jackets I end up sweating so much I might as well have just stayed in the rain. :LOL: I'll give them a look, but I'm also thinking to maybe try the bucket hat idea again. The UA waterproof I had that I stopped using because it doesn't have a hood was actually pretty good otherwise.

You want the "pac-lite" material which is very thin and has no lining. I currently have 2 waterproof tops:
1. Puma super thin pac-lite, ideal to play in summer showers, very lightweight and sits rin the bottom of my golf bag all year.
2. UA goretex, which is lined and so is windproof and much warmer in winter.

Previously I've had nike waterproof tops which work fine and are much cheaper than specialist golf brands. I expect the quality is not as good as a £400 galvin green top, but for me it's fine given the low level of wear it gets. This is under £100:

By the way, cutter and buck looks like Mike Ashley Donnay quality to me.

Yeah, I was hoodwinked by a couple of reviews that said they were surprisingly good for the price. They were not. But as I was looking for ones with hoods my options were always limited.

On the upside, I've contacted County Golf where I bought the trousers from (which were equally useless) and they've immediately agreed to refund me if I send them back. I'd imagine this isn't the first time they've had some contact them regarding C&B "waterproofs".

I got rid of the paclite GG I had as it was like wearing I bin liner, waterproof but you would sweat so much you were soaked anyway. The lined jacket was much better and the lining offered some wicking qualities. Other downside I found the paclite didn't offer much in the way of warmth in winter.

Tbh I'm looking at a new jacket in yhr near future as mine has stated to let in, not happy with this, as it was a replacement for the GG that leaked when I got it. Looked after as well treated and Tumble dried regularly
Thinking of trying Kjus stuff but it'd eye-watering expensive.

My Cutter & Buck waterproofs (jacket and trousers) got their first real test today. Absolutely bloody useless, I was soaked through to my boxers! Is it too much to ask for some actual waterproof gear that doesn't cost 300 odd quid? Bah. They can go straight in the bin then.

Buy it nice or buy it twice.

Galvin Green is all you will ever need - yes it’s a huge outlay, but it comes with a lifetime guarantee doesn’t it?
 
Leaves.....millions of bloody leaves....
And there's millions more that haven't gone brown yet.....
Time for the cheap balls to make an appearance

Golf things that gladden the heart = 9
Golf random irritations = 93

What a happy bunch are we?

Is it this stupid game that makes us this way or do we have to be this way to start with in order to cope with this stupid game?

I think it's the same as when you look at reviews for certain things online. Everybody wants to stick in a review in when they're angry about it being rubbish. Not many think to review things they're happy with.
 
When you arranged golf 5 weeks ago to fit around half term only for 1 to drop out last minute as he’s played golf 4 times this week and his better half isn’t happy and he wants to play in the Saturday comp
