i think some of the big golf sites (TWG, Golfsmith etc) occasionally have good sales on Zero Restriction raingear, i've got a few coats/windbreakers from them (haven't bought pants because i don't think they'll fit me) and they're really nice.

Bump: any suggestions for a B&B in St Andrews?

I stayed here and it was awesome for many reasons. http://www.russellhotelstandrews.co.uk/

A good friend of mine and former British Senior Woman's Champ has stayed here http://www.lgu.org/members/lguflat/

Both are about 200 yards up the hill behind the Old Course clubhouse as seen in the picture here http://www.standrews.org.uk/

BO

I have this one:

Indestructable as far as I'm concerned, been on many trips with it and never had a problem with either the case or the contents. I have a cart bag and it fits, with the pockets moderately full (shoes, balls, etc.) with no issues.

B&B suggestion above looks good. I stayed here last summer and it was also pretty good: http://www.ardgowanhotel.co.uk/

Don't think you can go wrong with either as they are both about just a mid-iron from the 18th!

Make sure you stop for a beer in the Dunvegan pub when you're there - its home to a lot the caddies & players when a tournaments is on and has lots of great photos. Its quite cheap & cheerful.

The only one to use is the Club Glove - they won't tear, have a great warranty, and are made to last and protect your clubs. They are used by almost every tour player. They are a little pricey, but to protect clubs that are worth a couple thousand dollars, it's worth it IMO. The travel bags I get through equipment companies might last 1 year, but the club glove I purchased in 1998 is still solid as a rock.

Someone also asked about rain gear - Zero is great, but you might also check the Adidas line - their storm proof gear is fabulous. If you're going to play in the rain, invest in a really good rain suit - otherwise, you'll be soaked, angry, and will have wasted money. Zero & Adidas are pricey, but worth it. Try one on and make some swings in it to make sure you have enough space to make a turn and that it isn't restrictive or too loud. Also, keep in mind if you'll be playing in cold weather, you'll probably have multi-layers on, so make sure it fits with more clothes. If you play in warmer weather with rain, you might look into a jacket that has removable sleeves.
