A big double birdie of a statement to launch this Masters-themed genius: I am an writer, not a golfer. My golfing practice is largely confined to driving peaks and putt-putt houses. I would be the last people you may ask for advice on how to fix your swing because I would be unable to tell a nine-iron from a vehicle. I can only provide what is accurate on hitting the backlinks in fashion.
While my partnership with golfing is purely sensual, in the most pleasant sense of the word, I do own love for the game. After all, the lad’s game is first and foremost a sight, particularly when a felty green jacket is involved. I’m enamored with the zany polos that swarming Augusta every springtime, and actually- growing biceps, the lover during a generate. The true sport, also, to a lesser degree.
However, beyond a select few in the professional sport, golf remains perhaps the most swagless activity out there. The current squad of sport clothing is most awful if you look at any country membership, from Bowling Green to Pebble Beach. Men in ill- fitting stretch nylon, oversized polos, color cocktails that are a legitimate threat to the eye.
With no standardized uniform, there should be plenty of room for the average joe to get a “fit off,” and even the default polo, which typically results in some natural degree of put-togetherness. This contrasts starkly with its other more lifestyle-oriented sports competitors (the parallels with as a gear-forward, single-person sport are obvious).
Thus, what the devil is the deal? How come most golf attire flops, but some — on the flanks of, Mediate, Koepka — is frequently vibey? Does the game have room for the beginner fairway flex?
There’s a binomial of smart answers to golf’s stylish woes. The obvious conclusion is that the greats simply have a more defined personal style, and then there is the outdated claim that men don’t want to play the game, not to dress up, which is untrue and potentially problematic.
I’ll just dart around, putting on my tin foil hat; perhaps the standard golf uni has been acting more like a self-deprecating Möbius strip. As in, it hasn’t had to develop because it’s now “good enough”, meaning the club’s been slowly saddled with obsolete’ matches and out- of- feel design. Or probably, apparently most plausible, none of it is that strong, and tucked- in, main- colored polos are boring.
If you’ve made peace with that, you have your solution. Boring is good. Get the best-fitting top you can find, and both of these products will make for excellent clothing, and you’ll be on your way. Realize that there is another way if you are like me and think that sports should be an exit from the 9 to 5 hellscape rather than a place where you can practice your tech chinos.

Beyond the broad strokes of mass marketing, there’s a growing population of brands trying to emulate the burn’s best and make regular golf attire fun., out of Chicago, and California- based were both, offering a different type of system — the same types of apparel, but with script- ish fonts, bolder prints and an influx of inspiration from modern stylish ( specifically, streetwear ) culture. is similarly introducing a new aesthetic to the game, with ’90s style windpants and studded belts that are both golf- and lifestyle-focused.
What is the best advice I can give you for improving your fitness? Try to make a statement with an otherwise ordinary get-up. Just introduce a new element and let it do the hard work of slamming down margs and hitting people with motorized carts for you. Popular sunglasses, loud windbreaker, snakeskin-printed pants, etc.
