Golf is one of the most popular and well known sport in the world. It's a centuries old sport that isn't likely to disappear. Golf is regarded by many as a sport for rich people because it's a rather expensive sport to be engaged in -- both as a hobby or as a professional.
From attire to equipment, golf can be cost prohibitive for many. However, this doesn't mean that only the rich people can participate and experience in the sport. If you are truly enthusiastic and interested in the game, there are ways you can enjoy this sport without breaking the bank or burning a hole in your pocket.
Golf, like other sports, is one wherein the only way you can develop and improve your game is through trial and error. While you're learning how to improve your swings and drives, it's also a good idea to learn about the golf attire -- the dress code. Like other sports or activities, golf has a dress code, a distinctive style or manner of dressing that makes it so that you are identifiable with the sport. Tennis, basketball, baseball, polo and swimming are all sports that have specific dress codes. The same goes for golf.
Keep in mind that the pervading dress codes in various sports have a practical purpose. Tennis players wear shorts or skirts to allow freedom of movement. Baseball players wear pants to avoid the bruises and abrasions that would occur to their skin from the slides they do when approaching bases.
Over the years, the quality as well as the style of fabrics used for golf attire has changed. In the past, golfers wore knickers and colorful knee length socks. The golf attire of today is designed for warm temperatures. Golf shirts today are made in such a way that they keep moisture away from the skin while providing golfers the ultimate comfort.
Golf shirts are available in many stores. However, it's important that you pick the right golf shirt. If you really want to be comfortable and dry at the course (you may not do a lot of running like baseball and basketball players do, but you'll be out on the sun for hours while you play!), go with the more expensive shirts. They're made of high quality fiber and designed with the latest clothing technology.
Go with a golf shirt that's made from 100% cotton. However, be aware that there are different kinds of cotton. There is the regular cotton and then there is the superior kind of cotton, Pima cotton. Pima cotton is comprised of longer, stronger, and much more durable cotton yarn. Golf shirts made of Pima cotton tend to be silkier, softer and longer lasting. So before you buy a golf shirt, look at the label; make sure it says it's made of 100% Pima cotton, not just 100% cotton. With a good golf shirt providing you with the ultimate comfort at the course, you can concentrate on your game rather than on trying to wipe the sweat trickling down your back or armpits.
As for pants, golf pants or Bermuda shorts are accepted. Jeans and spandex are not considered appropriate attire on the course. For women, golf pants, skirts, shorts, dress shorts and dress pants are appropriate. There is no pervading color for golf attire, although it's typically recommended that you wear light colored clothes so you can stay cool while you play. If you're playing in cool weather, wear darker color golf attire.
Now that you know the proper top and bottom attire to wear in the golf course, you also need to wear the right shoes. You want a pair of shoes that can cushion your feet and provide proper support as you swing. Keep in mind that whenever you swing, your weight is transferred from the upper part of your body to the lower part. This weight is then transferred from one leg to the other. Your ankle must be stabilized so that your body can sway and you can hit the perfect swing. Thus, you need the right pair of golf shoes to accomplish this. Don't buy your golf shoes from a department store. Go to a sports store or golf shop for the shoes.
A good pair of golf shoes can really improve your game. In addition to providing your feet with cushion and support every time you swing, your golf shoes must also provide your feet comfort when you walk from one hole to the next.
When it comes to golf attire -- from the shirt, pants and down to the shoes -- it's best to spend a little extra on quality apparel. You'll get more value out of your money and allow you to enjoy the game for a long time to come.
