You end up agonizing in front of your wardrobe the day before a round of golf.
Can't I wear jeans? What about shorts? Does the T-shirt really have to have a collar?
If you know just a few things about the tightness, you can wear the rest comfortably.
01Things that usually don't work
It varies slightly from golf course to golf course, but this is pretty much the standard.
| Things that aren't allowed | why |
|---|---|
| jeans | Most golf courses block it. |
| Sleeveless (Men) | There are many places where women can work. |
| collarless shirt | There is a difficult part about round-neck tees. |
| tracksuit | It shouldn't look too much like sportswear. |
| slippers and sandals | Even inside the clubhouse |
Jeans and collarless t-shirts get caught the most often.
If you just avoid these two, you'll pass most places.
02If you want to go with the safe option
- collared topOne polo shirt is enough for all four seasons.
- cotton pants or golf pantsAnything but jeans.
- golf shoesIf you don't have those, there are many places where sneakers are acceptable.
With these three, you won't have any trouble going anywhere. There is absolutely no need for expensive brands.
03Are shorts allowed?
These days, there are many places where it works. However, there are some places that come with conditions.
- Places where you have to wear long socks
- Places allowed only in the summer
- There are still some prestigious courses that are blocked.
If it is your first time visiting a golf course, please check the dress code on their website.
Or you can ask the person you invited, "Would shorts be okay?"
04See you inside the clubhouse, too.
It is a part that is often overlooked when focusing only on golf attire.
- Take off your hatIt is polite to take it off indoors.
- Entering the restaurant with slippersThere are many places that block access. Please use indoor shoes if you have them.
- wet clothes as they arePlease change your clothes on rainy days.
- loud noiseMost of them maintain a quiet atmosphere.
You often forget your hat. You can just take it off when you enter the restaurant.
05Weather preparation
This is actually more important than the dress code. Because we'll be outside for over four hours.
- Summer · Breathable clothes, hat, sunscreen, arm sleeves
- Winter · Layer thinly. A single thick garment blocks the swing.
- Rain Forecast · Change of Clothes and Extra Gloves ([[LINK:L27]] Part)
If you hit it while wearing a thick padded jacket in winter, your shoulder won't turn.
Wear thin clothes in layers, and take them off one by one once you loosen up.
06In the end, it's better to be comfortable.
If your swing is uncomfortable because of your attire, your score will be bad that day.
- If pants are too tight, my lower body won't turn ([[LINK:L28]] Part)
- If your top is too small, your backswing won't go up.
- If your shoes are loose, you can't shift your weight ([[LINK:L22]] Part)
As long as you follow the rules, choose the option that is physically comfortable for you for the rest.
It's better than trying to look cool and playing poorly.
In the next part, I will cover penalty calculation. It is a simple guideline to use when the rules are confusing.
