The history of golf clothing goes back long before the days when Plus Fours were all the rage and Tam O’Shanters were de rigueur. Mary Queen of Scots was known to enjoy a game at the Musselburgh Links as long ago as 1567.

Traditional tweeds and woolens were functional, smart and warm to withstand the ever changeable British climate.  Today things are much different, the latest manufactured fabrics can withstand the harshest weather and still keep you dry inside and out, warm or ventilated or all of the above!  Lightweight, breathable, Gortex, Teflon coated are just some of the many descriptions given to golf clothing for all.

 Golf clothing for men, women and children can be purchased from Golf Professional shops, sports shops and even online.  With budgets to suit most, golf clothing has never been more available and attainable.  Branded articles allow you to support the Golf manufacturer you favour or even the golfer.  Many Tour Professionals these days now sport their own label golf clothing.

Golf clothing has seen many a change in style over the years, but players such as Ian Poulter, Tiger Woods and Greg Norman have stylized the game ensuring you must not only play well but be seen in only the most fashionable golf clothing to be really idolized.  Their ranges of golf clothing show their personality and their sense of style, some much more traditional than others; Ian Poulter’s Union Jack trousers certainly got him noticed.   The Ladies too have their icons, Paula Creamer, Morgan Pressel and Natalie Gulbis, stride out on the course wearing not only functional pieces but also golf clothing you too would want to be seen in.  Rightly or wrongly this game is becoming ever more popular with the masses, non golf sports personalities are playing golf as a way of relaxing away from their own field of expertise, Celebrities are enjoying the quiet time of playing 18 holes without being pestered by paparazzi and it seems many people from all walks of life are taking up the gentlemanly game as a way to get some exercise and some fresh air.  Golf has never been so popular. And fashion has never been more key in golf clothing, whether it’s Men’s, Ladies or Junior’s, we all want to look the part.
