Ladies Golf Apparel and Fashion

I’ve never seen women, professionals included, who would dress in such expensive and outrageous clothes!
It’s so simple to spend tons of money kitting yourself out for the sport of golf. Think about hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windbreakers and shoes, and it is obvious that the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at cheap online sales. Then you have to add in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play a round of golf really quite frequently to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to a tolerable level.
One glossy advert showed a beautiful model in really short shorts (as if 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 an acceptable level 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.
Granted, you want comfortable 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 several really stylish golf outfits, even though none of them are famous brand names. If I were to total 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 way too much.
If I were to wear a $1,500 set of clothes 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.
