FAVOURITE FIVE: Golf jackets to help you combat the rain
Take a look at five of our favourite golf jackets to help you play through the rain over the coming months.
Summer is well and truly over and if you're a UK golfer, it's time to prepare for the wet weather. So maybe it's time to bin that jacket that's been screwed up in your bag for 10 years and invest in something new.
When it comes to golf jackets, there's a huge range to choose from and they all feature modern technology to help you stay as dry as possible when the rain comes lashing down.
It's important not to feel too restricted when you're wearing a jacket on the golf course, but you also need enough protection to stop you coming off the 18th looking like a drowned rat.
Golf jackets can range in price depending on the brand, so check out five of our favourites in the list below and make sure you're prepared for the wet weather ahead.
