Its that time of year when no golfer in their right mind would venture out on the course without being equipped to face what ever the great British weather is likely to throw at them.

Hats, mittens, brollys and not forgetting a decent set of waterproofs are the order of the day. Even on a bright crisp day, a jacket or windtop would  be stuffed into the bag.  But who ventures outside without wearing the obligatory waterproof trousers. Not only do they keep the lower half of the body warm but they also protect your trousers from picking up moisture and mud from the course.

So now may be the time to treat yourself to a new set of golf waterproofs. I don’t know about you, but I think a spare pair of waterproof golf trousers is a must. There is nothing worse than getting kitted up for a round and finding that the you forgot to dry out the old leggings from the last time you played.

So lets have a quick look at what’s new in the trouser department for 2009.

Galvin Green Alf Gore-Tex™ Trouser - £150
A bit on the pricey side but these are probably the best money can buy.
Apparently they boast a lifetime guarantee so they could well be a good investment.

Sunderland of Scotland Tournament Trouser - £100
Quality trouser from Sunderland as per usual. Bundles of velcro, leg zips, belt loops, storm pockets and a fly zip. This would be my choice if I was in the market for a new set of golf waterproofs.

Ping Collection Tour F3D Trouser - £50
No nonsense golf waterproof from the Ping Collection. Perfect as spare set to keep in the car or locker.
