Umbrellas
Even if most golf courses are windy enough to provide an impression of cool, golfers playing rounds that happen around midday will still be scorched black...okay not scorched black, but scorched nonetheless.
The sun is golf greatest adversary, next maybe to rain. Even on the Scottish highlands, where it’s relatively cool, on midday it can still get scorching hot. That’s why there is such thing as golf umbrellas.
What’s the difference of a regular umbrella and the golf umbrella? Nothing really, except perhaps golf umbrellas are naturally classy looking due to the culture that surrounds the sport. The colors and designs are generally dark or generally male as most golfers are male. Another thing is that these golf umbrellas are made by golf sport equipment manufacturers. So expect a bit of technology here and there, technologies that may or may not prove useful to you.
For golf umbrellas, here are some of the best choices.
Nike Tour Windshear II 62 Inch Golf Umbrella
With a name like that, no wonder people expect it to be something really hot or something really stupid. From its name “Windshear”, this Nike Tour Windshear Umbrella has a patented wind release in its system that prevents the canopy from inverting and destroying the umbrella during strong and high winds. This could be a potentially handy implement, especially when winds on the golf course can reach well enough to invert and destroy regular umbrellas.
Another feature of this Nike Golf Umbrella is its reinforced fiberglass shaft and FRP frame thus lending more strength and flexibility than standard umbrellas. A Push button Auto-Open feature allows uncomplicated opening. And typical to most Nike merchandises, this Nike Tour Windshear Umbrella has the design trademark printed on the canopies.
The GustBuster
It’s a nice fact that private labels do come up from time to time with certain interesting innovations. Such as The GustBuster.
So what does The GustBuster have? It has an elastic shock cord and a shaft and runner technology that can stand up against even the wind tunnel conditions of up to over 55 mph. This reading is certified true by the College of Aeronautics. Also, it features a Ferrule and tear drop shape vent hole to provide the finest water, bleed and fade proof feature. And do you know what the best thing about The GustBuster is? It costs relatively less than brand name products.
Birdiepal Golf Umbrellas
Another elite golf club umbrella manufacturer, Birdiepal offers an extensive collection of exceptional golf umbrellas, all tailored to meet certain weather conditions. So expect each of these selections to be overachieving.
One of their designs, the Birdiepal Windflex an umbrella design that could well stand through a gale and survive. It has a nearly unbreakable fiberglass frame that’s at the same time light and with a highly developed Windflex technology reinforced shaft. The canopy made of industrial strength polyamide fabric that feature double-stitched seams between panels complete the durability of the golf umbrella.
Another is the Birdiepal Sun. Made to be exceptional on open air and clear weather; it does deliver on these occasions. One, it has a special polyester net fabric that allows even the faintest breeze to flow freely through while of course throwing enough shade. This canopy material is a top class micro polyester fabric that, common to all Birdiepal golf umbrellas, features double seams between segments. The fabric is also highly wear resistant.
Yes you can play golf with only a couple of golf balls and even one golf club, an iron. All the rest are merely for comfort and ease. Yet, if you know that golf courses don’t offer naturally a shade, you’ll be thankful you have any of these golf umbrellas.
