Golf Apparel Buying Tips   by Edwin Shackleford

Here are some buying tips for wet season golf gears:

1. Waterproof trousers and jackets. When heavy rain comes, waterproof gears will protect your body from being wet, making sure that you remain totally dry under your trousers and jacket.

Goretex is the material commonly used for such waterproof gears and the most effective and efficient waterproofing material available. It uses an absorbent film either in between textile layers or sealed to a layer. The film openings are tiny enough to keep out water, but big enough to permit air and water vapor to flow and circulate. This is an advantage when one is playing in lengthy rain periods.

When purchasing a waterproof jacket or pair of trousers you must look for an outerwear that comes with a guarantee. The top manufacturers of waterproof gears offer a guarantee of three years and this can be worth the investment.

2. Rainproof golf gears. These gears are not made with Goretex but are usually made from Teflon treated fabric, which has the tendency to hold water from passing through for only a certain period, and will permit air to pass through and may draw liquid through the fabric on long rain exposures.

Lightweight and not so expensive compared to waterproof gears, this is perfect when one plays in short rain showers.

3. Windproof. It is constructed to stop the wind. This is an effective option when one is playing in windy climates. Certain types of windproof gears are likewise Teflon treated offering a minor level of resistance to water, but are not intended to be used in rainy weather. Cheaper than rainproof or water proof gears, they can be a warm alternative to use for cold climates.

Types of golf clothing

1. Jacket. This is very important to keep the golfers upper body warm, dry and still preserve the space so as to swing with flexibility. This is essential when choosing a jacket that is comfortable to wear, looks good and most importantly that allows you to swing well while wearing it.

Choose a jacket that is comfortable, and practice your swings with the jacket on, to insure playability.

2. Trousers. Always put on the trousers and practice it for swings, making sure that you are comfortable with it, as well as able to move about freely. Make sure that it is made of a fiber that is easy to wash and care for.

3. Shirts. Like any type of clothing, be sure to try it on before buying. Make sure that you are comfortable with the material, that it is breathable and the fit allows you to move easily.

Choosing your golf apparel can be a lot of fun. Be careful though, and make sure that all your outfits do match. Choose earth tone colors to play safe. Enjoy shopping!

Corporate golf gifts are the best gifts to receive as it signals recreation time !   by Stephen Ng

You will be surprise on how the popularity of the game has rocketed the demand for Corporate golf gifts. This game also brought good opportunities for branding of the company. The market has since been seeking for innovative and personalized gifts to put the name of the company on a "hole in one" !

What better ways are there to market the name of the company than to print it on apparel like T-Shirt that can be worn by the participants and organisers? Not only can it be worn at the game, it is often worn even after the tournament! Caps embroided with company logo is yet another good gift. Together they are really value for money and gives great mileage for branding as well as corpporate golf gifts.

Another piece of gadget that deserve a mention is the stroke counter. This tiny gadget is not only cheap but useful for the game. A dial will turn from 1 to 9 when pressed to count the number of strokes taken for the particular hole played.

Hey ! We cant be at the green playing without golf balls right? By far this is one of the oldest corporate golf gifts in existence. Company logo is printed on it and is often lost in the game ! Personally i dont fancy such gift but would rather distribute them after the game to be kept as souvenir.

It is the end of the tournament and it is time to present trophy to the top players and golf voucher to the participants. Once again, the name of the company is printed or engraved on the trophies. Golf gift voucher is getting popular as one of the corporate golf gifts and is here to stay for awhile.

Very often you will hear participants complaining that they already have this putter or a better golf bag. Therefore with golf voucher, the person can decide what things to get at the store and probably top-up in value the difference.

Its a great joy to share with you some of the corporate golf gifts and i hope you enjoyed as much as myself when writing it.
