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 clothing!

It’s easy to spend money kitting 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 really 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 get me wrong – 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 comfortable golfing shoes that don’t look like a pair of clogs, but really, you can find cheaper and still fashionable golf shoes.

I have a couple of very stylish golf 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 rather have several nice 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 sweating in it to enjoy a proper game of golf.
