How to layer for winter golf - and actually get it right
Layering for golf sounds simple. In practice, most people get it wrong.
Too much and you're restricted by the third hole. Too little and you're cold for the first six. The gap between comfortable and uncomfortable on a winter morning can be one poorly chosen mid-layer - or the wrong order entirely.
Here's how to think about it.
Start with the right base
Your polo is the foundation everything else builds on. It needs to manage moisture from the inside out - because even in cold conditions, you're generating heat from the moment you start swinging. A polo that traps moisture against your skin will leave you cold the moment you stop moving.
Our short and long sleeve polos are built for exactly this - moisture managing, comfortable against the skin, and refined enough to wear on their own if the conditions allow. In cooler months, the Peninsula Long Sleeve Polo adds an extra layer of coverage without changing the fit or feel you're used to.
Start here. Everything else builds on it.
The mid-layer is where most people go wrong
The mid-layer has one job: to trap warmth without adding bulk or restricting your swing. Most golfers either skip it entirely or reach for something too heavy - a full zip fleece that looks wrong and plays worse.
The Links Pullover and Turn Pullover sit in the space between. Considered in their construction, they move with you rather than against you. Neither is a statement piece - they're the kind of layer you forget you're wearing, which is exactly the point.
If conditions are mild, one of these over the Peninsula polo is all you need. If it's a genuinely cold morning, this is your middle layer before the windbreaker goes on.
The outer layer - protection without compromise
The Windbreaker is the piece that earns its place on those mornings where the weather can't make up its mind. Lightweight enough to pack into your bag, structured enough to cut the wind without stiffening your backswing.
It goes on at the first tee. It comes off by the fifth hole when the sun appears. And it goes back on if the back nine turns cold again. That's the whole point - a layer that responds to the round, not one you have to commit to.
The full picture
Three layers. Each with a purpose. Each designed to work with the others - in fit, in fabric, in colour. You can add or remove as the morning evolves without thinking about whether the pieces go together, because they already do.
That's what a considered collection is supposed to feel like.
