How to Use Dress My Round
Get the most out of our golf weather app with this comprehensive guide to perfect golf attire recommendations.
Enter Your Golf Location
Start by entering where you'll be playing golf. Our smart search accepts multiple formats:
🏌️ Golf Courses
Search by course name like "Pebble Beach" or "Augusta National"
🏙️ Cities
Enter city names like "Phoenix, AZ" or "Myrtle Beach, SC"
📍 Zip Codes
Use zip codes for precise local weather like "90210"
💡 Pro Tip: Be as specific as possible. "TPC Scottsdale" will give more accurate results than just "Scottsdale."
Select Your Tee Time & Date
Choose when you'll be playing to get weather forecasts tailored to your specific round timing.
📅 Date Selection
- • Forecasts available up to 3 days in advance
- • Today's weather updates every hour
- • Future dates show detailed predictions
⏰ Tee Time
- • Available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- • Accounts for full 4.5-hour round duration
- • Earlier times often have different conditions
🌅 Morning vs Afternoon: Morning rounds (before 10 AM) are often cooler and may have dew, while afternoon rounds (after 2 PM) tend to be warmer with potential afternoon storms.
Choose Walking vs Cart
This crucial selection significantly affects your clothing recommendations since walking generates more body heat.
🚶♂️Walking
- • Recommendations account for increased body heat (+5°F effect)
- • Suggests lighter layers and breathable fabrics
- • Includes comfort items for 4+ hour walking
- • Emphasizes proper footwear and blister prevention
- • Recommends extra hydration and energy snacks
🛺Cart/Riding
- • Accounts for wind chill while riding
- • Suggests additional layers for cart rides
- • Recommends jackets for between-shot cooling
- • Less emphasis on extreme breathability
- • Standard hydration recommendations
🔄 Mixed Play: If you're planning to walk some holes and ride others, choose "Walking" for safety - it's easier to remove a layer than to wish you had one.
