Golf Apparel

When it comes to apparel, you really have many choices available. What to wear isn’t always first on the golfer’s mind, but choosing the right apparel can make a difference in playing well and playing not so well. It’s true!

Many clubs have rules as to what apparel is acceptable on their course. This usually means no tank tops or short shorts, all players must wear shirts with collars, and no jeans are allowed. Other courses are less restrictive in their clothing and you can choose what you want to wear as long as it is tasteful.

Generally male golfers will wear khaki pants and a collared polo shirt. In warm weather, fitted shorts are generally permitted as part of the apparel. Most men will also opt for a hat to keep the sun out of their eyes.

Golf apparel for women, however, can run the gamut. skirts are very popular for female golfers because they are less restrictive, but others opt for shorts or loose pants. Polo shirts are also worn by women – some sleeveless polos are also allowed on upscale courses. Women tend to opt for visors to keep the sun away although hats are another option.

When choosing your apparel, you should take care that the clothing is not too restrictive. You will want plenty of room to move around because your swing depends on your body moving in a fluid, smooth motion. There’s nothing worse than clothing that is too tight – especially on the course.

When choosing pants or shorts, it’s convenient to have pockets. Many golfers like to have pockets so they can carry tees, divot fixers, ball markers, and even extra balls, although we don’t recommend the latter as it can throw off your swing quite a bit.

You will want to choose clothes that are made of lightweight, breathable fabrics – especially if you primarily in cold weather. Many manufacturers of apparel know this and keep it mind during production, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find clothing like this.

You can find adequate apparel in many places. course pro shops will carry specific lines of clothing that will conform to their dress code, but they will be a bit more expensive than buying them in a store. Find a store and you will find a great selection of apparel to choose from. Finally, you can get some great deal on apparel on the Internet in many, many places, often at discount prices.
