Fall golf is the best golf. Whether you’re in the northeast like me or out west as the days shorten, there is nothing like a little bite in the air and the bursting colors and a bit of low light to make an afternoon course come to life. And who doesn’t appreciate less crowded holes and the generosity of the leaf rule?
Embracing Fall Golf Fashion
Fall golf fashion is also the best golf fashion. Our sweaters and jackets have been waiting for October, and it’s time for them to shine. For me, that means the chance to wear the long-sleeve polos from Holderness & Bourne that are my favorite course look. They’re light enough to wear during the summer and I certainly did don them on chilly mornings, but this time of year they are the perfect all-day golf apparel. And when I need a little more warmth around my core but still want to feel light, the King Vest makes for an ideal pairing, comfortable enough that you’ll forget there’s any chill at all.
How to Dress Warm for Golf: Layering is Key
The key to dressing warm for golf in the fall is layers, and H&B has layering options aplenty. Teeing off post a frost-delay? Start with The Ashby Jacket that keeps my arms feeling light and free without sacrificing warmth. As the sun comes out, peel down to a Burton Long Sleeve that strikes a Goldilocks balance for temperature—not too hot, not too cold—and looks like you’re out there to score rather than just make it back to the warmth of the clubhouse. Nobody wants to look like they’re bundled up to go sledding, nor do you want to be the guy who forgot the forecast said 50 degrees. Jacket, quarter-zip, H&B polo and you are prepared for fall golf temps without looking like you’re afraid of them.
Fall Golf Wear for Every Condition
If you’re like me, you take your golf seriously and do your preparation. You clean your clubs in the evening and plan our outfits the night before. Fall golf wear is a great indulgence for those of us who can’t get enough time out there, with more choices to make in our closets. It’s no time to put the clubs away; rather, it’s time to think three layers ahead. Knowing what to wear golfing when it’s cold means you’ll be comfortable and confident on the course, giving yourself the best shot to play well.
Best Fall Golf Apparel for Style and Comfort
Forgive the vanity, but if you don’t feel good in what you’re wearing, it’s one more thing to distract you from what you’re out there to do, whether it be spring, summer, or fall. Comfort and confidence are key, and with the help of H&B, after all that thinking about what I’ll be wearing for fall golf, I don’t have to think about it at all.
