Fashion and Ladies Golf Apparel
I was reading one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ magazines the other day and started wondering where the women live, who wear the golf attire modeled in women’s golf magazines? I’ve never seen women, not even the professionals, 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 factor 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 (as if 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 totals nearly $1,500! I know that I could never hope to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable level in my golfing lifetime! Don’t misunderstand me – I love clothes and I really love shoes, but could never afford, nor even want, golf shoes or pants that cost as much as a lot of people’s weekly wages.
Granted, you want comfy golfing shoes that don’t look like an old pair of wooden clogs, but honestly, you will be able to find cheaper and yet still trendy golfing shoes.
I have several very stylish 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 stylish outfits than one outrageously priced one.
If I were to wear a $1,500 set of golfing apparel to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it grubby or perspiring in it to enjoy a decent game of golf.
