Keeping Warm during winter

Had some money in my PayPal account and onlinegolf accepts it, so paid that way! Love it! Won't be selling it for a long while! (well until the i20's come out)

Having something warm on your head should be mandatory as that is where the greatest heat loss will come from.

Rubbish, you will lose the same amount of heat from your arms if they are uncovered.

Pfft the only real concession I make to the winter is sticking on a baselayer and a bunnet instead of a cap

Its a bit chilly first thing but has been warming up later, still very mild weather for this time. Problem is that if you wear base layers then you can be sweating cobs half way round. I have taken to wearing tee shirt, polo shirt, jumper and windstopper top. If it warms up then removing the windstopper still leaves enough to keep comfortable.

I wear a pair Underarmour winter golf gloves, they are less hassle than mittens.

I was referring to your Gavin Green jacket, I wear a Galvin Green..... Nevermind, the moments gone

Has anyone noticed how it is always those from down south who moan about keeping warm? Softies!

Has all the snow finally gone from Rosemount yet ?

Personally I use an under armour, polo short and a good wool jumper.

Now that's what I call tough. Shorts in the winter! Respect!

Finally. But a weather warning for snow this afternoon on higher ground. Never mind though, St Andrews for me today!

Got one of these last year to keep in the pocket to warm my right hand up and never took my glove off the left LOL. Well worth a score quid and burns for hours on a very small amount of lighter fluid. Used it on the coldest of days when the course was completely frozen and on temps.


I thought it a great price at £20 when the disposable ones are £3 each and i found to be pretty useless really. http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-3641.aspx

I read that this is a myth too - just looked it up again and found this (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/dec/17/medicalresearch-humanbehaviour). Although, I suppose it technically would be true. If you were covered head to foot in warm clothing, gloves etc, and only your head was uncovered, then that would be where the greatest heat loss would be, wouldn't it?

But a woolly hat is definitely a plus for me on cold and windy days regardless of any scientific research.
