It is well worth your time to know the rules of your club before you even load your clubs to avoid either appearing imprudent or being turned away for having on inappropriate attire. For the public courses, the dress codes are usually a little more indulgent.

Earlier, the uniform of the golfer was inflexible and itchy wool, all over the year, with very minimum breath capability and ease of movement. And, back then, it was even shoddier for the few women who played the game; it was mandatory for them to wear full skirts, blouses right up to their chins and big hats. No doubt golf took so long to become popular among the normal people! Now, there are superior materials, with improved breath ability and comfort. Closer cut clothing permits for improved range of movement, and better overall swing.

Golf can be pricey enough without adding the clothing into the mix. Do not get caught up in dressing a particular manner if it is actually not compulsory to do so. If there is not a rule in place compelling you to do so, do not feel compelled to buy many "golf pants" or other related clothes. Pay attention to the other golfers and get a normal idea of what each one is wearing. This will help you to understand of what is suitable and standard at this golf course. Wear the clothing which fits your body, your budget and your individual likings. Bear in mind several things though:

1) Cotton is one of the finest materials for summer month play. It is breathable, soft and will guard against chafing, while allowing for sweat evaporation.

2) Lighter colors reflect more of the sun's light, therefore keeping you cooler also.

3) If you may manage to pay for it, there are tops that are treating to block the sun's rays and also to discourage flying pests.

4) Bear in mind as well: too tight and you will not be comfy, and risk skin breakdown. Too loose and you could impede your own play.

Put on what looks good, fits well and which will give you a feeling of real golfer.
