Golf clothing is something that you will need to buy if you are to enjoy the sport. While your set of golf clubs is the most important purchase, clothing can influence your performance, as it is vital to be comfortable if you are to play to your best ability. Not only this, but some golf courses have rules regarding what you can and cannot wear.

At most golf courses, the normal dress code will be golf shoes, smart trousers, a collared shirt, and a ‘V’ or round neck sweater. However, over the past few years it has become acceptable to wear roll neck sweaters, sweatshirts, chino trousers, and fleece tops.

There are a selection of golf clubs that allow denim jeans, although it’s not worth the risk. You are also advised to avoid wearing football or rugby shirts, as these are not permitted. Nevertheless, as mentioned, all golf courses are different and this is why it is worth heading to the club’s website to view their dress code before you acquire your clothing from a golf shop.

Not only do you need to think about the dress policy of the club, but also it is important to be comfortable if you are to play to the best of your ability. If your clothing is too tight, for example, you will struggle to play as effectively as you can because this could restrict your freedom when swinging.

You also need to purchase proper golf shoes. These are different to ordinary shoes because they are typically waterproof and they will have spikes attached to the soles. They are designed so that you can walk on the surface with ease and have the grip you need during your swing.

When purchasing golf clothing, it is important to buy something that you like. After all, you are going to be wearing the items again and again so there is no reason why you should have to compromise on style.
