00:00I hope you've had a successful summer of golf but it really doesn't need to end there.

00:04In this video we're going to run through the 10 essential winter golf items to keep you playing

00:08your best throughout the off-season. We're here at the beautiful North Ants Golf Club

00:12where I'm going to take you through those items. Let's get into it.

00:20Now the first item I feel like is an essential with winter golf is coloured golf balls. Now I

00:25might get a lot of stick this because I know people are traditionalists and might like using

00:30a white ball but a yellow ball really does help when searching for your ball especially in the

00:34thick wet rough that we get here in the UK. It's also great to see off the tee. Often the skies are

00:40quite grey and gloomy here in the winter. Of course we've picked the perfect day to be filming when

00:44there's actually blue skies but when you do have grey skies seeing that ball flight throughout the

00:49air is so much easier with a bright coloured ball. See I told you it was easy to find your ball.

00:55That was the tailor-made TP5 that I've hit there. They also offer it obviously in TP5X so you do have

01:06the option of choosing a premium golf ball that also has plenty of colour.

01:18I'm predominantly a cap guy on the golf course and when there is bright sunshine like this

01:23you may opt still for a cap but I do think a woolly hat is essential. This is the Adidas Pombini and I

01:29really like it because it has a really soft fleece lining inside to keep your ears nice and warm and

01:33I just really like the two-tone colour design. So remember if you like this product or any of the

01:38other products that you're going to see in this video I'm going to put the handy links in the

01:42description box down below for the best prices in your area.

01:50Having a flask with you on the golf course in the winter is a serious must when it comes to staying

01:56warm. Whether you're putting a hot chocolate, a tea or a coffee in there it could be the difference

02:00between getting around the back nine in level twos or falling apart because you simply can't take the

02:04cold anymore. This is a Yeti tumbler and I really love the brand. They help keep my drink boiling hot

02:10throughout my round and who knows you might even slip something else in there to enjoy with your

02:13playing partners.

02:19There's nothing worse than being stuck out on the golf course when the rain rolls in

02:22and you don't have one of these wrapped up in your bag ready to put on. This is the Juice Pro 3L

02:28jacket and what I love about this jacket is how breathable it is so you don't start sweating

02:32on those milder days but it is still raining and it's super stretchy so throughout your swing you're

02:39not restricted at all like some other jackets out there.

02:46Now mittens are arguably the most essential winter golf items to keep in your bag this year. They're

02:52perfect for keeping your hands warm between shots as obviously your hands are the only point of contact

02:56between yourself and the club. I really like these King Cobra Mittens, they keep my hands nice and warm

03:01due to the fleece lining on the inside. They're oversized as well so you could fit some hand warmers in there

03:07but they also have this waterproof padding on the front here so even if you push a trolley

03:11no moisture is likely to get in.

03:18I'm here at the 16th hole now and I've caught the group in front of me up. It's cold,

03:23I'm taking shelter from the wind in the little hut here. I think now's the time to break out the hand

03:28warmers. These are brilliant, they last up to 10 hours. I'll slide them into my pockets and who knows

03:34when I step onto the next tier I might actually even put them in my mittens for complete luxury

03:38and warmth. They might even heat my putter up as well.

03:45Now this one's pretty self-explanatory but having a decent pair of waterproof shoes

03:49is a must in the winter to keep your feet dry from not only the rain but the dew on the ground as well.

03:54Most decent waterproof golf shoes are made from leather and they not only keep your feet dry but

04:00also really warm as well. Like these Puma Royales, they do come with a waterproof one-year guarantee.

04:06However, I'm not sure these are going to be looking as white come the spring.

04:14Now keeping your grooves clean in the winter is essential to hitting consistent golf shots.

04:19I know it feels like you want to rush back in under the umbrella when it's pouring down with rain

04:23but making sure that your grooves are clean will help you ensure consistent contact and full flight.

04:28And the best way to do that is having a waterproof double-sided towel.

04:32This is the Titleist Stay Dry towel and not only does it just slot on over your clubs like that

04:37acting as a waterproof cover, you also have a microfiber towel on the inside to make sure that

04:42your grips stay dry but also this little panel here that acts as a little brush to make sure that

04:48you don't dirty the rest of your towel. Who knows, it might be the difference between the driver

04:52staying in your hands throughout your swing and not.

04:58Okay so the Snood is one of those items that you didn't know how much you needed it until you put

05:04one on. Now this is the Under Armour Storm Snood and what I love about these is the fleece lining on

05:09the inside but they also have this panel that runs across the front that is extremely breathable.

05:15So if you've got a large enough Snood like this you can put it on and it will actually cover up to

05:19your nose and your mouth keeping your nose warm in cold conditions as well as your lips from getting

05:25chapped when the wind picks up.

05:26Now the next winter essential item you're going to want to have is a base layer. This is the Puma

05:37Cloudspun Tech base layer and what I love about this is how soft it is on the inside but also

05:43stretchy enough that I don't feel restricted. The base layer is perfect for keeping you warm without

05:47adding bulk so partner with this a polo and a gilet like I'm wearing today and you're going to stay nice

05:53and mobile throughout your swing but also staying really warm on the course this winter.

05:58So there you have it they're the 10 essential winter golf items that I feel you need to play
