It's a commonly overlooked fact that a simple matter of selecting the right clothes to wear can drastically improve the average golfers game.
The sun overhead also has an effect on a person's golf game. Choosing the proper hat will be very important. You need to find a hat that is comfortable. When you look good, you'll feel good and you'll play better. Try on several and look in the mirror. Pick out one that you will enjoy and feel comfortable with. Not only will a good hat keep the sun from shining in your eyes when you are going for that all important shot, it will also protect you from the harmful rays of the sun so you can live to play many more rounds of golf.
There are 2 types of golf shoes on the market. There are shoes that do not have any spikes, this type of shoe is also known as "soft spikes" and there are shoes with metal spikes. You will need to check with the course you are playing at as to what are their rules regarding shoes. Steel spikes have a tendency to rip up the greens. That is why many courses don't allow them. You will want to make sure that your shoes fit well. You will be doing a lot of walking (up to 4 miles). Two very well known manufacturers of golf shoes are Foot-Joy and Dexter. You really can't go wrong with either of those brands.
It's a fact of golf that many courses have a dress code. Many golf courses don't allow jeans and some require collared shirts. Wear what you feel comfortable in. You will be out there for two and a half to five hours. You will be bending and twisting your body so make sure your golf clothing is not too constricting. Along those same lines you will not want your golf clothes to be too loose either. You may snag your club on your shirt sleeve.
You will want to make sure you are prepared for any type of weather. As I said you will be out there a long time and the weather can change very fast. Bring a pullover or a sweater with you. Also make sure you bring some rain gear along with you. Although is not considered clothing you will also want to bring along an umbrella. This will make sure you stay dry out on the course.
Above all stay comfortable with what you are wearing. Your clothing effects you both physically and psychologically. Feeling good about yourself will help improve your confidence and your game. So take your golf clothing purchases seriously.

Go get your golf clothing
Your husband has encouraged you to start golfing. Forget the clubs, time to go shopping. Golf apparel for women can be expensive but for some of you, you are saying bring it on, I want to look good swinging those clubs. In this article, we will cover the brands you should be looking for as well as what type of golf clothing you will need to get started.
What brands should I be looking for?
The best brands for women's golf clothing and apparel are Ping, Galvin Green, Nike, Adidas, and Ashworth. You can't lose sticking with the tried and true. These brands carry a wide selection from sporty to fashion conscious. The good news about golf apparel is that the fashion trends have only changed slightly meaning your wardrobe will last you some time.
What clothes do I need to get started?
If you are just starting out, you will need the following:
· 1 pair of Golf Shoes
· 2 pairs of socks
· 2 shirts
· 1 pair of pants
· 1 pair of shorts
· 1 golf jacket (depending on where you live)
· 1 golf hat or visor
You don't have to go for the most expensive clothes on the rack, but you will want something that will last. Most of the materials used are very durable, if taken care of will last you a long time. You will want to make sure that if you live if a wet or windy region you get yourself a wind breaker to keep you dry if the rain decides to surprise you in the middle of your golf round.
How much should I expect to pay?
Depending on the golf clothing brand you select, you can expect to pay about $50-75 for a good quality shirt. Most golf shoes will range between $60-$100. Maybe a little more if you go for a higher end, more expensive fashionable shoe.
When you get into pants and shorts, you can expect to pay between $50-$100, again depending on the brand. Make sure you don't get sucked into buying clothes at the golf course. You will pay significantly more than shopping in a local golf store, or online. Many of the online stores are very competitive in price. We have seen great prices on eBay as well if you take your time.
If you need plus sized golf apparel, there are some great websites now that specialize in women's golf apparel for you. If you search "plus sized golf clothing" you will find many options available.
Ok, so now you are ready to get started. You have a new wardrobe, now what. Well hopefully you have golf clubs, if you don't you can always rent clubs for the first few times to see what clubs feel the best for you. Make sure that you go to a local pro shop or golf store so you can swing several clubs. Many times women get clubs that are too heavy for them. More than likely you will want graphite shafts and of course a golf bag that matches your new golf wardrobe.
