Golfers face a problem that is unique in sports. In the absence of uniforms, golfers must find apparel that not only are practical, but also good looking. All of the best courses still have dress codes. Fortunately, there are a large number of fine manufacturers to choose from. including Ashworth, Nike, Callaway, Bobby Jones, Fidra, Ping, Adidas, Greg Norman, and Tehama.
Be The Ball Men’s T Shirts
You can’t wear your cleats all the time. But you can tell the world that you’re a golf fan with these funny t shirts.
Par 3 MicroGab Golf Knickers
The Golf Warehouse has these Par 3 MicroGab Golf Knickers. I’ve always wanted a pair, but never had the guts to buy and wear them.
I’ve also thought that it would be a lot of fun to do golf-reenacting, just as some people do Civil War re-enacting, or even vintage baseball re-enacting (there’s an actual league of these, and the nearby Greenfield village museum has a team called the Lah-de-dahs. They play with 1800s rules, equipment and uniforms.
The golf re-enacting thing appeals to me because my home course dates to 1899. I could use hickory shafts and gutta percha balls. Then, I’d have an excuse for poor play.
Mudskipper Golf Boots
The inventor of the Mudskipper must have tried to play golf during a Michigan spring. Michiganders often say that they have only three seasons: Summer, Winter and Mud. The Mud season occurs in both the traditional spring and in the fall.
The mud seasons are prettyhard on your golf shoes.
But these unusual golf shoes look like they’re just the thing. First of all, they’re waterproofed with Adidas’ ClimaProof system, which keeps both interior and exterior moisture away from your feet. And, unlike plain old rubber boots, they’ve got a torsion system to stabilize your feet, and the FastTwist cleat system.
Another neat feature is the removable waterproof gaiter that you see in the picture above.
You can get them at Golfsmith.

Footjoy Dryjoys Short Sleeve Pullover Rain Shirt
I don’t mind playing in the rain, but at the height of summer, even the excellent Nike ClimaFit rainsuits can get too hot. This short sleeve Footjoy rainshirt may be the thing. Its breathable, light and the short sleeves would be a heckuva lot cooler than a long sleeve version.
