(Shelley McPhee photo) On the greens -Rain, snow, nor sleet will stop golfers By Carolanne Doig There's nothing like a warm wather teaser during the week to make thosecold, wet weekends feel even worse. Mother Nature has been playing tricks again, giving us warm sunshine one day and then dumping cold, wet, and miserable weather on us the next. For warm weathergo}fers; beleVlsn ed Masters provided a haven. and excuse to stay warm and dry while still enjoying the game. Unfortunately, spring weather can be very un- predictable and golfers have no guarantee of a good weekend. The only way to tackle the problem and lengthen the unbearably short Canadian golf season, is to dress and play ac- cordingly. A few tips for cold, wet weather golfing may help to lengthen your golf season and improve your game. Dressing to stay warm on the golf course will allow you to enjoy golf earlier in the spring, as well as during those crisp, but beautiful fall days. Being Canadians, we should all know how to dress for cold weather. The only trick ins to keep yourself warm and allow freedom of movement at the same time. same time. The three main areas to concentrate on are your head, handl and feet. Most body heat is lost through your head, so it's important to wear a toque or some other head covering on cold days. Keeping your hands warm can de a iroblem because The thEmain areas to cone f,... your head, haand feet. Most body, heat is lost through your head, so it's important to wear a toque or some other head covering on cold days. Keeping your hands warm can be a problem because the gripping of the club is such an important part of the swing. Some golfers wear gloves, others wear mittens and take them off for' each shot. A pocket hand warmer is a great help for someone playing on cold days. ' Cold feet, as well as being uncomfortable, will cause you to shift your weight wrong and throw your swing off. Some serious golfers not only wear two pairs of socks on cold days but also rub vaseline on their feet and wrap them in saran wrap first. Waterproof or rubber golf shoes are warmer than leather shoes in cold weather. Your . clothes should be loose fitting and in layers to keep you warm, but give you plenty of room to move. A layer of clothes close to the body, such as long un- derwear, will insulate you well. Wool pants and wool or cashmere sweaters are very warm and comfortable to wear. Velour, a very popular material for golfers is warm and also has a lot of give. Sometimes a thin turtle neck sweater under a velour will be ample to keep you nice and cozy. Many ladies have discovered that a velour warm up suit is a super way to dress for crisp days on the course. Sometimes a win- dbreaker can make all the difference by reducing the wind chill factor to bearable conditions. Now that you're dressed for the cold you're ready to play. However, your game will be different than in warmer weather. The cold is not only irritating but it also takes away your feel and timing. The cold affects the way you swing and therefore affects your score. Many golfers realize that since you can't 'hit the ball as far on cold days, it's important to use more club for a shot. When playing a normal 7 iron, .you may need a 6 or even a 5 on a cold day to get the same distance. • This is because the ball comes off Get your gear together Are you getting that urge to put your camping gear together and go somewhere? Maybe you are an inveterate camper with years of ex- perience aperience in campground vacationing but consider yourself a novice when it comes to sleeping out on a remote hiking trail for two or three nights. Maybe your libecamping experience has en centred around a specific part of the province and you would like to visit other interesting and ex- citing areas. Your camping activities for the season will be more successful and much more satisfying if you start planning now. There are places of great historic significance close to provincial park, con- servation authority or commercial campgrounds. There is a wide variety of hiking trails and canoe routes that are well charted and provide information about campsites. There are camping areas within a few 00tes driving time of arse cies where you can dg a night on the town, go to the theatre, see the shops or visit an entertainment complex. To help you enjoy the good life in the great outdoors, the Ontario Safety League suggests you take along an attitude of safety con- sciousness. Other safety tips the League would like you to consider are: Have every member of the family wear a lifejacket or personal flotation device while on the water. Boating accidents usually happen suddenly. Adult members of a family can be of little assistance to children unless they are wearing lifejackets or PFD's . since too much energy is used up in remaining afloat. Keep the campsite clean by picking up broken glass, sharp twigs, bottle caps or anything that will cause injury to small feet. Use the trunk of your car to lock away food supplies. Midnight four -legged prowlers will break into your tent if food is kept inside. Even on cool nights make sure your tent is ventilated. Find out where the nearest doctor is located in case of sudden, unexpected illness. Take along a xrod first aid kit for minor repairs. Supervise small children so they don't wander off and become lost. Buy a shrill whistle for each member of the clubhead more slowly on cold days and cold golf balls don't have as much zip. Some golfers warm the golf balls before playing. It takes about 15 hours to heat a golfball right through, so warming it up in your pocket on the way to the first tee is going to make very little difference. You had better leave them in a warm room overnight. It also helps if you note that two piece con- struction balls play better in cold weather than wound balls. Rain, rain, go away! Yes I know it never rains on the golf course, but what if :t does? Keeping dry. is the number one priority. Who can concentrate on a putt with water trickling down his neck or off the end of his nose? A good rainsuit is a real help for a serious golfer. The best are made of two-ply sanforized cotton which is light and also quiet when you swing. Water repellent material is more confortable because it's cooler and does breathe. Waterproof material keeps out the rain but as it doesn't breathe, you tend to steam inside the suit. The suit should be loose enough to fit over your golfing clothes and still allow maximum movement. Waterproof shoes are a must. Not only do they keep your feet dry but leather shoes will be ruined after too much play in wet conditions. A visor or billed cap keeps the family to wear on a the rain out of your eyes and string around the neck.. If an is a must for golfers who emergency arises, parents wear glasses. Those big, colourful umbrellas that mushroom out there on rainy days serve a very important function. Not only do they keep the golfer dry between shots, but they keep the clubs dry, which is probably' more important. Extra towels are handy to have for drying yourself and your grips. It's important to keep your grips dry and a hood or towel over the bag will keep rain from accumulating in the bottom of the bag. Tackimack grips become stickier when wet, rubber grips aren't too bad, but wet leather grips are very slippery. Some golfers use various cremes \ to in- crease their grip on wet days. Synthetic golf gloves are a great improvement over leather gloves in wet weather. Golfing in the rain means you play a little differently. The player should play a bit more defensively in wet conditions and take fewer chances. You don't get as much backspin on the ball or as much roll when the course is wet. 'The sand in bunkers will be wet and packed, so you might want to use a club with less loft to get out, or even a putter if there's no lip. Remember you get relief from casual water even in the bunker. When putting, a thin layer of water on the green causes faster putts with less break due to the hydro -planing effect. A bit more water will reduce the break and also the speed of the ball. Casual water on the green means you may move the ball around it but not closer to the hole. Let's face it, we can't always play in perfect weather conditions. Many golfers will stay in the clubhouse on poor days, but anyone who plays seriously will play better and enjoy the game more by adjusting to various weather conditions. You can play the same course everyday but dif- ferent weather conditions will make it a whole new ball game every time. Local members will be pleased to know that the third annual Spring golf "ball" is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd. It should be a fun way to get the season going.
