Almost all sports require the participants to wear certain clothes and in this regard golf is no different. To be sure you do not fall foul of these restrictions you will need to get the best type of clothing from a specialist store. Each golf course may differ on its expectations from golfers so it is best to know what these are in advance. They take this so seriously they can, and often do, stop people playing if they are incorrectly dressed. This can be highly frustrating and leave you quite upset at the end of the day if you are stopped from playing golf simply because of a misunderstanding on appropriate clothing.
Several aspects of male attire are not permitted on any golf course they try to play at. Men (and boys) are not permitted to wear shirts without collars or sleeves at any time. The next things, which are not allowed, are wearing of jogging pants or shoes with metal spikes. Avoid wearing clothes with repulsive logos or obscene messages on them. In addition, jeans as well as sandals are generally not permitted either (this applies to women too).
Men can wear shorts however or fitted pants and any shirt they wear must have a collar plus foot ware must consist of sports or golfing shoes. If you are wearing golf shoes, ensure that they are soft spikes and are not metal spikes - most courses will not permit metal spikes on the green due to the damage that they can cause. Shirts can be either long sleeve or short sleeve and can also include having a turtleneck or pull over sweater. You ought to wear ankle-length socks with as little or some good looking logo and they must be in solid colours.
For women playing golf, fitting shirts and skirts and even Capri's are allowed. Generally, women are barred from wearing pants of any type including jeans shorts. For women, the length of the skirt or short is important and they ought to be cautious that these do not go up more than 5 inches above the knee. However each golf course is guided by its own specific rules and guidelines in the matter. A woman's shirt must also have a collar and once again a v-neck style sweater is allowed.
Women golfers are allowed sleeveless shorts with collars or shirts with either long or short sleeves. Other types of clothing that is allowed is socks that are at least ankle length, appropriate athletic or golf shoes and a visor or hat. Socks must be a solid colour, with minimal logos and tasteful designs. Another important to remember is that any accompanying person to the golf course should also follow the same dress rules. As stated above the exact dress code for the golf course where you play may vary, a quick check of their website, or a quick phone call should clear up any questions you have in regards to what is appropriate and what is not if you have any questions.
