Golf clothes should not only be beautiful, more importantly, they should be comfortable and functional. There are no specific rules on the course regarding the uniforms of golfers, although most private and country clubs have certain standards. Typically, track suits, rough jeans, collarless shirts, short shorts, and sleeveless shirts are prohibited for men.

Some clubs insist that men wear long socks with shorts. Other rules prohibit ladies from being in the clubhouse in shorts or even pants. Golfers’ uniforms vary from country to country and from club to club.

You need clothes that allow for the completely free movement of various parts of the body needed for basic strokes. There is no shortage of choices when it comes to shirts, sweaters, pants, shorts, slacks or skirts.

Remember that you need to spend several hours on the field, during which time significant changes in weather conditions can occur. If the weather seems erratic, make sure you have enough extra clothing to keep you warm, as frozen limbs and joints are the biggest enemies when playing golf, put a waterproof raincoat in your backpack in case it rains.

When choosing a waterproof raincoat, remember that you are unlikely to find clothing that is completely impervious to water. The cheapest raincoat is usually lightweight nylon, which, while not very pretty, has the advantage of being compact and easy to fit in the bag.

Regardless of which rain protection you choose, pick pants with wide pants, preferably with zippers at the bottom, so they won’t flutter in the wind while still being easy to put on over your golf shoes. The jacket should be loose enough with few seams. It is also important to remember to make as little noise as possible, moving at impact.

A headgear is also very important, especially in the wind or rain. Find something so that your hair does not fall on your eyes, so that the rain does not get on your glasses and the headgear holds up well when the wind blows. The choice of headgear is huge.

Golfers are not looking to look spectacular in the rain. You can see hats ranging from hats with tassels to caps with sewn-in earpieces. Fashion should come second to functionality! Also, you have to remember that when the weather is good, you need to hide your eyes from the sun with a cap with a visor or with a sun visor.

A sturdy pair of shoes plays an important role in a secure grip and good footwork. The most expensive shoes have an upper made of genuine leather and a leather sole with spikes. However, these shoes can be very stiff, and if the sole does not bend freely, you can get blisters on your feet.

For most players, the ideal combination is a leather upper that will “breathe” on a rubber sole that has either spikes or “bunions.” The sole should be flexible enough to provide good footwork. A stiff sole will not only be uncomfortable, it will cause problems when swinging.

Choose shoes with sturdy toes. This also promotes good footwork as the right foot goes forward to the tips of the toes. Shoes that are too flexible will not provide proper support. Also, remember that the height of the heel can vary slightly, which affects balance and footwork. Heels that are too high can shift the weight of your left foot forward toward the ball at the moment of contact, instead of allowing you to return to your heel.

Lately, lightweight tennis shoes have become increasingly popular, as these shoes make your feet less tired during your time on the course.

Most players wear a glove on their left hand, which helps maintain a consistent grip. Expensive natural leather is by far the most enjoyable, but it doesn’t last as long as some good synthetic materials. Additional padding at the base of the hand will help prevent the glove from wearing out quickly. Such a glove will fit your hand more snugly than a regular glove.

Put the glove on carefully, pulling it gently over all fingers, rather than just pulling from the wrist. In winter, it is usually easier to wear a pair of thick mittens over a golf glove than to play with a pair of gloves. There are special cart mittens that cover both the cart handle and the hands.
