We have all seen those beginner Golfers come to play a round on
your favorite course or on a course you pay a good amount of
money a year to be a member of. How do we notice them? Well their
jeans and t-shirt can be a dead giveaway even before they
generate a queue of unhappy golfers behind them on the first tee
whilst they are all waiting impatiently for the beginner to hit
the damn ball.
Everyone has to start somewhere right? We have all been there at
some stage, all be it a long time ago. Well the one tip I would
offer any would be golfer is to get their apparel right. Wearing
the correct attire for the golf course is an essential if you
want to build rapport with the other players and respect the
golfing etiquette. So the next question is what is the correct
etiquette when it comes to golf
clothing?
Trousers / Shorts
Cotton trousers or shorts are a must for any wannabe golfer.
There are many kinds of designs from the conservative choice to
something a little more outrageous. Trousers and shorts are used
in golf over jeans and tracksuit bottoms, as they are not only
more comfortable to play the sport in when compared to jeans, it
is also classed as a gentleman’s sport (and ladies) therefore
is played in clothing to suit these ideals.
Shirt/ T-shirt
Again in order to look like a pro the best tops to wear are
shirts or t-shirts (obviously a coat is fine in the rain and
there is also a great range of golf jackets and umbrellas are
also available). You will notice that again in the case of most
golf clothes there are very few large brands on display. A small
logo on the shirt, t-shirt or polo shirt is the norm.
Shoes
There are a great range of gold shoes out there as trainers are
not ideal footwear for the golf course. Gold shoes are usually
studded in order to assist with the different conditions you may
meet on the course as well as to assist you get the best out of
your game.
Accessories
For the keener golfer there are also many accessories you can
choose from including a golf glove, golf caps, golf hats,
umbrellas, socks, wrist bands and many more.
Remember that golf not only requires lots of practice in order to
become skilful at the game, it is also a psychological battle
against your competitors and yourself. Purchasing the correct
golf attire can help you feel more like a pro therefore can only
assist in improving your game.
