Just like every other sport has a particular dress norm, golf too has its own dress rules. Obviously only the best will do so you will need to go to a specialist outfitter to have yourself kitted out. Though different golf course are guided by their individual rules, if you know what are the most acceptable dress norms, you can have a more fruitful experience. Some golf course will actually stop a player from enjoying a round of golf if he is considered inappropriately attired. This can leave you flustered and upset when you are not allowed to play your favorite game, just because you could not adhere to their dress norms.

Several aspects of male attire is not permitted on any golf course they try to play at. The two things that are not suitable in a golf course are shirts with no collar or no sleeve. Another area that is a no-no is the use of running pants and shoes that have metal studs. Clothes with displeasing logos or repulsive slogans on them are not allowed too. Moreover, sporting jeans or sandals are prohibited and this applies to women too.

The most proper men’s attire on the golf course happens to be collared shirts, the right pair of pants or shorts and golf or athletic shoes. Wear shoes which are fitted with soft pikes as metal spikes are prohibited in many golf courses because of the harm it does to the field. If you are wearing a turtle neck or normal sweater you should be OK and if a shirt is worn it can be either long or short sleeved. The socks that are worn must be at least ankle length and should be a solid color with only minimal and tasteful logos.

The golf hand towel can be any type of cloth. They do not need to be embroidered just so long as they are respectable. Your golf hand towels are perfect for wiping the sweat from your brow and off of your golf clubs. Find all kinds of black golf hand towels here.

Women golfers should wear fitting shorts or skirts or even Capri’s. Generally, women are barred from wearing pants of any type including jeans shorts. For women, the length of the skirt or short is important and they ought to be cautious that these do not go up more than 5 inches above the knee. Although it not uncommon for a golf course to insist that the length of shorts and shirts is even longer. For shirts, women are also required to have collars, unless they are wearing an appropriately styled pull over in a v-neck style.

However, a woman can wear a shirt that is completely sleeveless or have short sleeved (providing it has a collar). As far as socks are concerned, they must be ankle length and their shoes the same conditions as a man but as far as head wear is concerned – a hat or visor is OK. Socks ought to be solid colored and should not have any objectionable logos or designs on them. Another important to remember is that any accompanying person to the golf course should also follow the same dress rules. If you are unsure about your clubs rules on dress, give them a quick call or check out their website before you go.
