The clothes you choose won’t instantly propel you into professional level status or slash your handicap in half, but it must be said that wearing the right ladies’ golf clothes can help to improve your game. Here are some of the ways that your clothes can change the way you play.
Adapt to the Climate
You will be able to find golf clothes to suit every climate, so it is important that you cater for all seasons when shopping for golf clothes. Many clubs and greens will only allow their users to wear specific golf clothes, or will have rules or guidelines concerning what you are allowed to wear, so you can’t just throw on any old thing if the weather isn’t as you expect. Having the right clothes, such as a ladies’ waterproof golf jacket or a sun visor, will make your game much more comfortable and will give you the confidence to improve your game.
Allow for Movement
Many people think of golf as a slow sport. While it doesn’t have the fast-paced action of football or athletics, this doesn’t mean that there is no movement required. Your clothes should allow you to move freely so that you can properly execute your swing. Ladies’ golf skorts are perfect for this because your legs have free movement and there is stretch in the material which aids with this. Also look for tops, trousers and jackets which are lightweight and stretchy, and avoid going for clothes which are too big, as they could end up rubbing you or getting in the way.
Provide a Good Grip
Your golf shoes will be one of the most crucial items in your wardrobe when it comes to your game. Golf shoes typically have cleats or spikes (or a good grip sole) which allow you to firmly plant your feet and remain stable throughout your swing. Good shoes also help to keep you comfortable while walking around on the different terrains of the course, preventing you from slipping on slopes. Dress-style shoes will provide you with more support and structure, while athletic styles will give optimum comfort.
Another essential item when it comes to grip is the golf glove. Golfers typically wear just one glove on their lead hand (the hand at the top when you swing) and this helps to maintain a firm grip on the club, particularly in wet conditions or when your hand is sweating. Leather gloves will provide the best grip, while synthetic gloves are more breathable and better for hot weather conditions.
Allow Clear Vision
On hot sunny days, the golf course is extremely exposed and it can be hard to see against the glare of the sun. Get yourself a summer hat or sun visor to give yourself a clear view of the course. A hat will also help to keep you cool by keeping the sun off your head while you’re playing or waiting, which again will make you feel more comfortable and in turn improve your game.
