Fall Golf Focus: Adapting Your Game and Gear

As fall settles in, cooler temperatures, brisk winds, and wet conditions can transform the course into a scenic challenge. Here’s how to thrive in the season while leveraging second-hand deals:

Game Strategies

•  Adjust for Conditions: Expect softer greens from dew or rain—club up by half a club on approaches for better spin and control. In windy play, favor low punches over high shots to maintain trajectory. On leaf-strewn fairways, declare an unplayable lie if needed (no penalty under Rule 19) to avoid lost balls. Walking the course generates body heat, loosening muscles for smoother swings.

•  Ball Selection: Switch to low-compression balls ,Titleist TruFeel for enhanced feel and distance in cold air, where high-compression models lose yardage.

Layering for Comfort

•  Essentials: Start with moisture-wicking base layers add quarter-zip pullovers for mid-layers, and top with wind- or water-resistant jackets. Waterproof shoes and wool-blend socks prevent slips on frosty mornings.

•  Second-Hand Savings: Hunt for fall apparel bundles—Adidas Quarter Zips pairs perfectly with stretch golf pants for unrestricted swings.

Equipment Tweaks

•  Grip and Glove Prep: Cold hands kill feel—re-grip clubs with tacky, all-weather options and carry rain gloves for wet rounds.

•  Pro Tip: Keep balls in your pocket between shots; warm ones fly farther than chilled ones.

Embrace the foliage and fewer crowds—fall golf rewards preparation with some of the year’s most rewarding rounds.
