Fashion and Ladies Golf Apparel

I picked up one of those 'Golfing for Women' type magazines the other day and got to asking myself where these women actually live, who buy the golf apparel shown in women's golfing magazines? I have never seen women, not even the pros, dressed in such expensive and flamboyant clothing.

It's easy to spend lots of money kitting yourself out for golf. What with hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windsheeters and shoes, the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at the sales. Then factor in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play quite often to keep the "CPU" (cost per use) down to an acceptable level.

One half-page advertisement 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 comes to just about $1,500! I know that it would be impossible for me to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable limit in my entire golfing life! Please don't get me wrong - I do love clothes and I do really, really love shoes, but I could never afford, nor even want, golf shoes or pants that cost as much as most people's weekly wages.

OK, you need comfy golf shoes that don't look like something your grandmother would have worn, but you can easily find less expensive and still fashionable shoes.

I have bought several very trendy golfing 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 add up to the cost of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I would rather have several stylish outfits than one that is priced way too much.

If I were to wear a $1,500 outfit to play golf, I would simply be too worried about getting it dirty or sweating in it to play a proper round.
