Golf Clothing Buying Guide
If you want your golf game to be enjoyable, you should invest in proper golfing gear that lets you play all day in various weather conditions. This guide will show you what's out there.
Basic golf wear is a pair of pants and a polo shirt, with a sweater added in colder weather. It is very similar to the dress clothing you would wear on a normal day, but the fit is slightly different and allows for a greater range of motion for a proper swing.
Pants
Get a basic pair of golf pants that is comfortable to walk in.
Shirts and Sweaters
A polo shirt is the best choice, and they come in cotton and also polyester variations that will wick sweat from your body. (Be sure it has a collar, as that is usually part of the dress code!)
Hats & Visors
Hats, caps, and visors come in handy to keep the sun out of your eyes.
Shoes
First and foremost, get a shoe that fits well. You'll be doing lots of walking in them. Also, look for a shoe that is waterproof and has soft spikes on the sole.
Gloves
Golf gloves help you get a solid grip on the golf club. A right-handed player will wear a glove on their left hand, while a left-handed player will wear a glove on their right hand.
Cold & Wet Conditions
You can add a sweater or wind jacket, and wear a thicker or bigger hat. One popular item is the short-sleeved jacket, which keeps you fairly warm and dry without limiting movement.
The waterproof shoes will really come in handy now.
Also, wind pants can be worn over your regular golfing pants.
