The best golf umbrellas will keep you dry in any deluge

No one likes playing golf in the rain, but in the UK if we only played when it was dry, we wouldn't get many rounds in. 

Rain can cause all sorts of problems on the golf course, but a good umbrella can see off so many of the problems that typically arise from wet weather play, keeping not only yourself dry and comfortable, but your clubs in good working order as well.

As anyone who's been out on the links when the rain and wind are working in tandem will tell you, however, not all golf umbrellas are made equal. They need to be made of sturdier stuff to keep out the wind and the rain, while remaining lightweight and portable enough to slot back into your bag at a moment's notice. With that in mind and with the cooler, wetter weather on the way, we've put together a list of our very favourite golf umbrellas you can buy right now for every purpose, starting with the best of the bunch.
