Fashion and Ladies Golf Attire
I 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 clothes!
It’s so simple to spend tons of money fitting yourself out for the sport of golf. Think about hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windbreakers and shoes, and it is obvious that the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at cheap online sales. Then you have to add in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play a round of golf really quite frequently to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to a tolerable level.
One glossy advert showed a beautiful young ‘golfing lady’ in really tiny shorts (like that’s admissible on golf 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 comes to just about $1,500! I know that it would be impossible for me to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near a normal level 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.
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 a couple of very trendy golfing outfits, although none of them are brand names. If I totalled up the cost of all of them, it would not come to the price of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I’d rather have several trendy outfits than one outrageously priced one.
If I were to wear a $1,500 outfit to play golf, I would simply be too worried about getting it dirty or sweating in it to play a decent round.
