Fashion and Ladies Golf Attire
I picked up one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ type magazines the other week and got to asking myself where these women actually live, who wear the golf attire shown in women’s golf magazines? I have never seen women, not even the pros, wearing such expensive and flamboyant clothing.
It’s easy to spend lots of money fitting 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 add in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play very often to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to an acceptable level.
One glossy advertisement showed a beautiful model in really short shorts (as if 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 limit in my entire golfing life! Please don’t get me wrong - 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.
OK, you want comfortable golfing shoes that don’t look like an old pair of wooden clogs, but honestly, you will be able to find less expensive and yet still trendy golfing shoes.
I have bought several really stylish golf outfits, even though none of them are famous brand names. If I were to add up the cost of all of those articles of clothing, it would not come to the cost of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I would prefer to have a few nice outfits than one that is priced way too much.
If I were to wear a $1,500 set of golfing attire to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it grubby or sweating in it to enjoy a proper round of golf.
