Fashion And Ladies Golf Apparel
I was reading one of those 'Golfing for Women' magazines the other day and started wondering where the women are, who wear the golf apparel modeled in women's golf magazines? I've never seen women, professionals included, who would dress in such expensive and outrageous clothes!
It's easy to spend lots of money fitting 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 add 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 glossy advertisement showed a beautiful young 'golfing lady' in really tiny hot-pants (as if that's admissible on golfing greens!) 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 about $1,500! I know that I could never hope to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near a normal level 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 need comfortable 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 several really trendy golfing outfits, although none of them are famous brand names. If I added 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 prefer to have several stylish outfits than one that is priced over-the-top.
If I were to wear a $1,500 set of golfing attire to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it grubby or perspiring in it to enjoy a decent game of golf.
