Golf Clothing � Waterproof Suit � Preparing for Ireland

Thinking of taking a golfing holiday in Ireland? Then invest in proper golf clothing and a waterproof suit.

Pack the waterproofs 

For many golfers, travelling to Scotland is a lifelong ambition, a pilgrimage to the home of golf. But another Celtic island is just as appealing for the keen golfer � Ireland . Just make sure when you pack your golf clothing you include a waterproof suit!

Swinging in the rain

Rain gear, as well as a passport is vital if you're an American or Canadian taking the plunge, although most Brits will be aware of the weather. Packing a good quality waterproof suit and other golf clothing such as thermal gloves are vital in making sure you enjoy the game despite the weather.

Weather forecast

It's not known as the Emerald Isle for nothing. The green lushness of Ireland comes from rain, and plenty of it. And as every golfer knows, rain isn't always conducive to the best play. You have to be prepared- not just with your waterproof suit and other waterproof golf clothing and shoes � but you need to be prepared mentally too. As one intrepid reporter from Golf Digest magazine reported when he travelled to the Arnold Palmer designed golf course in Tralee , the wind was strong enough to propel the water through his previously reliable waterproof suit: �I stopped trying to clean my glasses between shots. It wasn't just the worst weather I'd ever played golf in; it was the worst weather I'd ever been outside in.�

Whatever the Weather

Despite the rain, playing in Ireland is enormous fun, perhaps because over thinking is impossible when you are playing on a course that demands all your effort to simply remain upright. The wind and rain offer challenges to complacent golfers, used to playing in perfect conditions. But with a waterproof suit and golf clothing such as gloves and hats, you can still stay dry and enjoy the challenge.

Waterproof Suit is a necessity

As Golf Digest report, a waterproof suit is obviously a necessity on any golf trip in Ireland or anywhere in the British Isles for that matter. The majority of UK players will already be kitted out with appropriate golf clothing and at least one waterproof suit, but if you're from the US it's easy to take sunny, dry conditions for granted. As well as a waterproof suit, pack other golf clothing such as waterproof golf shoes and socks, a rain hat and rain gloves.
