As such, before you head out to purchase your golfing clothes, you should check what your desired club accepts and what it doesn’t. Below is the generally accepted attire.
Shirts
Almost all golf courses need that you be in collared shirts. The golf shirts in Georgia ought to be made from cotton, polyester or microfiber. There are some course managers who allow modern styled golf shirts (those featuring turtle necks). When it comes to women, the golf tops vary greatly. There are those that come with collars and those that come without. But they all are modest. As such no tube tops or bathing suit tops allowed.
Pants
Men are required to wear long polyester blend/cotton pants, or shorts with a flat front. There are some courses that allow jeans but not all do. For women, dress shorts or long trousers are allowed. For both sexes, the garments feature a V-notch on the side or front allowing for a smooth golf swing motion.
Shoes
Shoes are very important when playing golf. They help stabilize you as you swing. They also have great traction for a better grip while walking on the grass and are comfortable enough to sustain you for hours. The soles of these shoes feature spikes. Golf courses require that the spikes are made of plastic or hard rubber.
Socks
Going with the shoes are socks which are also an important part of comfort. Socks help to keep a player’s feet dry and comfortable throughout the day. They come in a variety of styles. For those players who wear shorts, there is the option of ankle-length socks. Though very few courses will specify the socks they require their players to be in, it is common etiquette to have them complementing the rest of the clothing.
Hats
