A short guide
The Art of Layering
A round can start at 45° and finish at 70°. The answer is three thin layers rather than one heavy one — each doing one job, each easy to take off at the turn.
Layer 1
Base layer
The polo — worn all round, every round.
When: Every round. On a warm day it’s all you need.
Layer 2
Mid layer
Warmth you can still swing in: quarter-zips, vests and knits.
When: Early tee times and autumn afternoons — roughly 50–65°F. Take it off at the turn.
Layer 3
Outer layer
Wind and rain: windshirts, shells and jackets.
When: Wind, drizzle or a cold front. Light enough to swing in, packable enough to stuff in the bag.
