Full Definition
Golf rain gear requirements: waterproofing (fully waterproof vs water resistant — for prolonged rain you need full waterproofing), breathability (non-breathable rain gear causes overheating and restricts movement), stretch (allow full shoulder turn and hip rotation — test range of motion before buying), hood and collar (prevent water running down the neck), and trouser waterproofing (legs get wet from walking through wet rough). Top brands: FootJoy, Galvin Green, Stromberg, Adidas. Test: swing a club in the rain gear before purchasing — any restriction in shoulder turn or hip clearance will degrade your performance in wet conditions. Rain gloves work in wet conditions where standard leather gloves become slippery. GOATY mechanics training maintains its benefits regardless of weather conditions.
