Now that we're in the fall and winter, if you're a golfer, having a golf umbrella is more important than ever. Many golfers simply use the free company handout golf umbrella without even thinking about whether it's right for them. When asked about branded golf umbrellas, companies are not focused on their use in golf, they want umbrellas that are large and durable.

If you're serious about playing, you might want to invest a little thought and money in your golf umbrella selection. susinoumbrella advises not to grab that free golf umbrella just because it was handed out to you. In a world so focused on sustainability, we really should think twice before taking home something that will only be left intact and thrown away. Invest in a good golf umbrella and you will have it forever.

What should you pay attention to?

Canopy Color - The brighter the better. A bright canopy is useful on cloudy and foggy mornings to make you more visible on the golf course.

Size - Golf umbrella sizes start at 120cm, but you can make them larger. Make sure they're large enough to cover your equipment and bag, but easy to handle on windy days.

Windproof Straight Golf Umbrella - Golf courses are areas of open space that are often windy. Do your best to find out if your golf umbrella has been wind tunnel tested and is indeed wind resistant. Ventilated canopies have a greater chance.

The right handle - Size and wind protection are important, if the handle is uncomfortable or too light, it won't help. Curved handles may be easier to hold in windy weather, but some of the best golf umbrellas have straight handles. We recommend following your instincts and trying a few different styles.
