I am not sure that I have seen a professional golfer wear something that I have ever stopped and thought, yes I will buy that. Why is it that many golfers will change into clothes that make them look stupid before starting the round?
Sponsorships
you will see professionals in stupid clothes but they are always branded and this is because they have deals with companies. The thing that makes it worth it for the players is the fact that they are getting a lot of money for turning up in these clothes, I would do it for a couple of million every year.
Not Club Policy Surely
Most golf clubs do not like people turning up in old, poor looking clothes. The top clubs will often stop people from entering the courses if they are not wearing what the course would call "proper clothing".
Arrogance
Some of it is to do with the sport. For the richer people that play in the top clubs, wearing this kind of thing is simply just another way of showing off to the world, they are showing off how much money they have. It really is quite upsetting that this kind of thing goes on because golf is such a calming sport.
Laughable
Whenever I see my father walking out of the door on the way to play golf I have to say that along with the UPS batteries and 12v batteries for his golf trolleys I have to say that he looks absolutely ridiculous! It certainly is very stupid that the top clubs restrict people on what they are wearing as much as they do. The only thing that i can really understand them doing is stopping people from playing in very casual wear such as jeans and a pair of trainers.
So what do you personally think on it all, do you feel that golfers fashion is way out of hand or do you actually think that when they walk onto the courses in their pink and yellow colours looking like Mr Blobby that it looks okay?
