With our harsh winter weather so far behind us,let celebrate Spring and think about golf.

There are typically many questions you want answered when you start to play golf. What brand of golf club works best for you? Are there nearby public courses available to you? Can you afford to play on a course at a private club? Will you need golf lessons first? Finally, there is the question of what to wear while playing golf, because golf apparel is an important part of the golf game. To tell you the truth, learning to select the right type of golf clothing is as important as learning any other aspect of golf.




As a brand new golfer, how do you go about selecting the best golf apparel? There are varieties of clothing for men and women golfers available on the market. Even though as a new golfer, you may not understand the merits of many of the options available, you can always just start by picking clothing appropriate for your body type.



If you wear comfortable clothing you will feel better, which will ultimately be reflected in your game. Suppose that you are wearing a very loose fitting golf shirt. You may find that very loose shirts interfere with you while you are using your driver or just putting. At the same time, if you wear very tight fitting trousers, they will constrain your freedom of movement and interfere with your concentration.



Golf clothing manufacturers continuously pursue the current trends and desires of their customers. Frequent advancements in technology have allowed companies to fabricate resilient, comfortable, and breathable fabrics. Beginners in golf must choose clothing thoughtfully, or at least as thoughtfully as they choose a set of golf clubs. For example, just think about the type of hat you want for a sunny day or for windy conditions. If you are warm by nature and perspire a lot then cotton fabrics would be your natural choice.



Besides style and fit, there are also other considerations in choosing your golf apparel. You must know what attire is allowed and what is not allowed before you dress for the golf course. Understanding this is one key for success and enjoyment at your chosen course. For instance, most golf courses require adherence to a dress code. While these standards are usually not very restrictive, it behooves you to research the dress code when looking for potential courses that you might use.



Golf courses usually have separate dress standards for male and female golfers. For example, women's clothing that reveals a bare midriff is not allowed. Some courses require that a woman's shirt has a modest neckline in front. Collared shirts are often mandatory for men. Jeans, warm up suits, or certain types of trousers are often forbidden for all players.



So don't embarrass yourself by having to run to the pro shop or a nearby store to buy a shirt when you visit the golf course for the first time just because you wore a collarless shirt. A little careful research before selecting golf apparel will provide you with benefits in the long run as you gain experience in the sport of golf and learn to enjoy the game.
