A form of golf originated in ancient Rome, and through the centuries it grew into the game it is today
. But throughout the ages, it has always been a sport of sophistication and class. And that is why, even today there are typically such strict dress codes enforced for most of courses around the world. Even with the lax standards of today, many clubs do require that golfers adhere to a dress code.
Before learning more about the dos and dont s of golf apparel, let us have a quick retro about the various golf clothing:
One of the most important golf attires for every golfer is the jacket. It enables the golfer to keep his upper body warm and dry besides giving him the space to swing with flexibility. So choosing the jacket is one of the most important decisions that the golfer has to make. It is essential when choosing a jacket that it is comfortable to wear, looks good and most importantly that allows you to swing well while wearing it.
The next essential attire for every golfer is the trouser. Ensure that you wear trouser made up of fiber that is easy to wash and care. Always put on the trousers and practice it for swings, making sure that you are comfortable with it, as well as able to move about freely.
Like any other type of clothing, the shirt is also a very essential part of golf dress code. One common rule for golfers is that they must wear a collared shirt. No grungy T shirts or tank tops on the greens are permitted.
Another important attire that attracts all eyes around you is the golf shoes. It is the key to your perfect swing on the greens. Make sure you buy a pair of golf shoes that keep you from slipping off the greens and allow you to take advantage of your leg strength while swinging thereby also being kind to the course. The best shoes to wear for these purposes are ones without cleats - shoes that have soles with a short tread or suction cup sole are best for both golfers and greens keepers.
