Proper golf attire is extremely important for all weather conditions. Staying warm or cool, dry and comfortable helps maintain the relaxed swing necessary to shoot the low numbers!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Golf Shirts
Men's Casual Pants
Men's Shorts
Rain Wear
Socks
Umbrellas
Waterproof Jackets
Women's Causal Pants
Women's Shorts
Golf Gloves
Golf Hats

Step 1

Identify who you will be buying clothes for. Buying for oneself is easy. Buying for others can be more difficult.
Step 2

Investigate the person who is going to be wearing these clothes to find his or her preferences and style.
Step 3

Assess the conditions under which the clothes will most likely be worn. Will it be hot, cold, wet, dry or windy?
Step 4

Start shopping from the ground up. Shoes and socks should be first, hat should be last.
Step 5

Ask for some advice from the sales personnel.
Step 6

Always buy collared shirts. Most courses require these types of shirts, although some professionals, such as David Duval, wear mock turtlenecks.
Step 7

While buying clothes, make sure the entire outfit matches.

Tips & Warnings

For any outfit, make sure the layers of clothing are not heavy. Heavy clothes will restrict the golf swing.
For cold conditions select: slacks, long-sleeved, collared shirts or turtlenecks.
For wet conditions select: waterproof shoes, waterproof/wind pullover jacket, or rain pants. An umbrella is also a good idea.
For warm conditions select: khaki shorts and light, short-sleeved, collared shirts, and a straw hat. Breathable clothes are preferred.
Hats are good for all conditions. Straw hats are good for warm conditions and protection. Baseball hats are good to keep the rain out of one's face and to stay dry.
Heavy articles of clothing may restrict movement.

on 5/21/2009 Thanks for the great suggestions in this article - really good guidelines to follow. I've found some great golf clothes at http://www.iznadgolf.com that my husband just loved - the golf rain gear was his favorite and it makes a great gift because it isn't necessarily the first thing people think of, but it's really useful!
