Dress Code for Golfers

By Emma Jackson


Clothing is a very important part in the game of golf. In fact choosing the right golf clothing is essential to play golf. Your clothing will speak for you and will show how relaxed you are in them. Wearing comfortable clothing will ultimately affect your game. Golf is a game that requires you to walk as much as you can and it can be pretty harsh if you are playing on a bright sunny day.

Golf always has a special dress requirement, which is inherited from a long history of golf culture. Golf courses may also have separate dress standards for male and female golfers. The variety in golf apparel allows you to change it as per the weather requirement. Many golf courses do not allow certain type of casual dress codes but there are others who are lenient about it.

Men have a simple but unique dress code to follow when they play golf; they can wear a good fit polo shirt with collar since collarless shirts are not permitted. The sleeves of the shirt can differ in length. Since it used to be a gentleman's game, pants are preferred over shorts. If you really can't bear the heat and want to go all along with shorts then make sure they are well stitched specially designed for golf. Do not forget to wear matching socks.

Women can wear skirts without any problem. There are plenty of different skirt styles and colors available in market and online stores. Golfers usually wear colorful clothes made from many different materials but do not mix all colors at the same time. A good hint is to choose one bright color (red, pink, yellow) and leave other items neutral (brown, black, white). Your golf shirt and golf trouser should fit you perfectly, it helps you to play golf comfortably and do not hinder movements. Each item should be clean and pressed thoroughly.

Young girls don't necessarily need to wear collared shirt, but it's encouraged. Also, the collared shirt can be with or without sleeves. Some younger girls can even wear collared shirt dresses made from a cotton pique material. Skirts can be added to the standard golf attire.

For boys, the clothing is very simple which includes khaki material pants/shorts, collared shirt with sleeves, belt and golf shoes. All Kids can be dressed up in a more relaxed but still appropriate way for golf. It should be fun for them to learn.

Like any another piece of golf clothing, golf shoes are an important part of golf apparel. On the course, you do not want to be left distracted by a pair of ill-fitting and uncomfortable shoes. Good golf shoes are very important because they affect your swing and performance. You need to walk a lot in golf and your sure companion will be your good golf shoes.
