Fashion and Ladies Golf Apparel
I was perusing 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 kitting 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 half-page advertisement showed a beautiful young ‘golfing lady’ in really tiny shorts (like that’s allowed 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 almost $1,500! I know that I could never hope to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable limit in my golfing lifetime! Don’t get me wrong – 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.
OK, you want comfortable 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 bought a couple of very trendy golf outfits, even though none of them are famous brand names. If I were to add up the cost of all of those articles of clothing, it would not come to the cost of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I would rather have a few nice outfits than one that is priced way over-the-top.
If I were to wear a $1,500 outfit to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it dirty or perspiring in it to play a decent game of golf.
