Golf apparel refers to both the basic items you need to play golf, as well as the extras. This includes items such as shirts, slacks, wind gear, hats and caps, rain gear, golf shoes, gloves, sun-glasses, etc.

Although most golfers do not need the complete golf apparel set, it’s beneficial to at least have the basics. When you first start playing golf, make sure you know the minimum golf course attire that is required for the courses you will be using.

At a miminum, most courses require presentable slacks and a shirt that has both sleeves and a collar. Many people wear sneakers or similar shoes when they first start out, but again check with your golf course on what’s acceptable. If you plan to play at some of the more expensive golf courses and country clubs, additional apparel will be necessary.

Golf set and equipment options are a must if you play golf professionally. Professional golf requires traveling. Besides the basic golf equipment necessities, a serious golf player needs all of the apparel and accessories.

The Basics and the Extras

The most basic of all golf apparel would be the golf shirts and slacks, the golf caps or hats and a golf glove. Golf shoes may or may not be necessary depending upon where you plan on playing. These items are not branded per say, so they can generally be found at any store. You may already own many of the basic items needed. In fact, you don’t need a branded apparel set, unless you belong to a society or golf club that requires it. But this does not mean you can simply buy anything.

For example, you can’t buy any type of shoe and use them as golf shoes. Golf shoes are specially designed to protect your feet and provide maximum comfort while playing golf. Most golf shoes are made by professional and well known shoe makers such as Adidas, Nike, Callaway, etc. Golf shoes are very flexible to accomodate the foot and ankle movements required in golf.

Like most sports clothing, golf apparel should be designed to allow unrestricted movement, comfort and wick perspiration and moisture away from your body. Golf apparel should allow your body to vent and breath to prevent overheating and increase comfort while golfing. Of-course most golf apparel sets are also designed to be fashionable so you look good and are color coordinated while on the course. Golf apparel fashion is particularly important if you play professionally or at expensive golf courses and country clubs.

Two more important items include sun-glasses and golf gloves. A good pair of sun-glasses will protect your eyes from glare and UV rays, allow you to easily see and find your ball and enhance your game. You need to be able to see hundreds of feet down the fariway in order to plan your strategy and hit the ball where you want.

Another critical golf apparel item are your gloves. They are designed to protect your hands while playing golf to prevent soreness and callouses, and can also prevent your hands from slipping on the golf club handle during your swing.
