I was perusing one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ magazines the other day and started wondering where the women are, who wear the golf attire 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 factor 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 a reasonable level.

One half-page advertisement showed a beautiful young ‘golfing lady’ in very tiny shorts (like that’s allowed on golf 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 about $1,500! I know that I could never hope to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable limit 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 comfy 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 bought a couple of really stylish golfing outfits, even though none of them are famous brand names. If I were to add 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 way too much.

If I were to wear a $1,500 outfit to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it grubby or perspiring in it to play a decent round of golf.
