I was reading one of those 'Golfing for Women' magazines the other week and began wondering where the women live, who wear the golf apparel 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 easy to spend money fitting yourself out for golf: hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windbreakers and shoes all add up quickly, even if you shop at the sales. Then add in equipment, bag and cart and you have to play quite often to keep the "CPU" - cost per use down to an acceptable level.
One glossy advert showed a beautiful model in very short shorts (like that's allowed on 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 just about $1,500! I know that it would be impossible for me to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near a normal limit in my entire golfing life! Please don't misunderstand me - 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 want comfy golfing shoes that don't look like an old pair of wooden clogs, but honestly, you will be able to buy cheaper and yet still trendy golfing shoes.
I have a couple of very trendy golf 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 trendy 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 sweating in it to enjoy a proper round of golf.
