I picked up one of those 'Golfing for Women' type magazines the other day and got to asking myself where these women actually live, who buy the golf apparel shown in women's golfing magazines? I have never seen women, not even the pros, dressed in such expensive and flamboyant clothes.
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 advertisement showed a beautiful young 'golfing lady' in really 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 comes to almost $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 lifetime! Don't get me wrong - I love clothes and I really love shoes, but could never afford, or even want, golf shoes or pants that cost more than most people's weekly wage.
OK, you need comfortable golfing shoes that don't look like a pair of clogs, but really, you can buy less expensive and still a la mode golf shoes.
I have several really trendy golfing outfits, although none of them are brand names. If I totalled up the cost of all of them, it would not come to the price of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I'd rather have several stylish outfits than one outrageously priced one.
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 game of golf.
