How should I dress for golf in cold weather?
Consider wearing multiple layers. I personally prefer wearing a long sleeve thermal t-shirt, like a poly-pro base layer. Depending on how cold the weather is, try a short/long sleeve golf shirt and then a sweater. And if it's windy, you may even want to wear some sort of light-weight wind breaker.

What does rain do to a golf course?
Rain makes greens slower than normal as the moisture on the ground and the ball slows it down. In instances of rain over a number of days greenkeepers will likely not be able to mow greens as normal meaning the grass will be longer and even slower. Putts on wet greens also take less break.
Do golf rain gloves work?
Did they work? Standard golf gloves are really effective at providing you with the best grip when your playing, but only in the dry weather.
