Layer Up: 5 golf essentials for fall golf

Not sure about you, but fall is one of our favorite times to play golf. Courses are less crowded, conditions are still excellent, and best of all, the weather is cooler across virtually every region of the country. That means chilly mornings followed by comfortable afternoons and plenty of opportunities to add or shed layers throughout your round. With the right gear, you can stay comfortable on the course from sunup to sundown!
