3. Microfiber clothing These amazing fabrics were made for golf travelers. They’re lightweight, wrinkle resistant and dry quickly. Plus, they make layering for cool mornings and hot afternoons much easier. Remember the weather can change at any time and once you are there, you’re going to play, rain, or shine. 4. Quality golf outerwear If you want to be miserable, I mean truly miserable, take a golf vacation to Scotland, Ireland, or the Monterrey Peninsula in California with low cost, ragtag, makeshift rainwear. Standing in a fairway with a thirty mile-an-hour cross wind and a heavy downpour without adequate protection is not a memory you’ll treasure. Take some advice and spend the extra dollars for a top name like, Glen Echo, Columbia, Galway Bay, or Zero Restriction. 5. Take along stain remover for mud, or other mishaps If you don’t, you might bring home a mudsplotched pair of golf slacks or khakis as a souvenir of your trip. Plus, if you have been overserved during dinner and spill sauce, beer, or red wine, you will still look good on the first tee, despite your aching head. 6. Waterproof golf shoes (with shoe trees) You must have a dry pair available in case you get caught in a downpour. Ideally, you need to take at least two pair of waterproof golf shoes, especially on trips four days or longer. Also, pack an extra dry set of socks in your golf bag each day to change with your shoes if a downpour occurs. I don’t think I have ever been on a golf trip that it didn’t rain at least one day during our journey. Indiana Golf Journal
