Fashion and Ladies Golf Apparel
Rhys Jones | April 17, 2010I was reading one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ magazines the other day and started wondering where the women are, who wear the golf attire modeled in women’s golf magazines? I’ve never seen women, professionals included, who would dress in such expensive and outrageous clothing!
It’s easy to spend lots of money kitting yourself out for golf. What with hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windsheeters and shoes, the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at the sales. Then factor in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play quite often to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to an acceptable level.
One glossy advertisement showed a beautiful model in really short shorts (like that’s allowed on courses!) that cost nearly $300, a golf shirt at almost $600, a jacket by Ralph Lauren at almost $200 and two-toned Utuser shoes costing $400 plus.
That totals just about $1,500! I know that it would be impossible for me to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable level in my entire golfing life! Please don’t misunderstand me – I do love clothes and I do really, really love shoes, but I could never afford, nor even want, golf shoes or pants that cost as much as most people’s weekly wages.
Granted, you want comfy golf shoes that don’t look like something your grandmother would have worn, but you can easily find less expensive and still fashionable shoes.
I have several really trendy golf outfits, although none of them are famous brand names. If I added up the cost of all of those articles of clothing, it would not come to the price of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I would prefer to have several nice outfits than one that is priced over-the-top.
If I were to wear a $1,500 outfit to play golf, I would simply be too worried about getting it dirty or perspiring in it to play a proper round.
