As the summer months get into full swing, it is important for golfers to wear the right clothing that’s most suitable for the warmer climate.
But too many golfers choose to stick with the clothing they already have at their disposal, and wear it come rain or shine, through every season.
Having the correct style of golf clothing can be the difference between letting the elements (even the more pleasant ones) get to you, or having a good game - and it all starts with a suitable golf shirt.
At Clarkes Golf, we’re an authorised stockist and are home to a huge selection of golf polo shirts - and other golf shirts - from the leading golf brands, so you’ll always have the appropriate clothing for your next session in the sun.
With this in mind, here are just a few ways the right golf shirt can improve the way you feel on the course, and improve your game as a result.
The benefits of the best golf shirts
Comfortable fabrics
If you’re not comfortable, you can’t possibly hope to dedicate all of your attention to perfecting your swing. To make matters worse, if your shirt is causing you strife, you may even unknowingly alter your swing to avoid annoying sensations against your skin.
Top-quality golf shirts alleviate this issue because they’re made from comfortable fabrics and are designed to cause no friction as you move from hole to hole, or as you swing.
Soft-as-a-feather polyester twinned with stretchy materials makes these golf shirts even more comfortable and fitting, making sure you can enjoy your summer rounds without feeling suffocated or restricted by what you’re wearing.
Breathable materials
Sweat is a problem in the summer months when the temperatures suddenly rise. But for golfers exerting a lot of energy on every course, it can become a detriment to your swing and cause other issues such as rashes.
Sweating itself isn’t avoidable, but there are ways we can keep it at bay. Multiple golf shirts, for example, are built with higher temperatures in mind and use breathable materials with sweat-wicking qualities.
These shirts allow for the free flow of air to the skin, helping to avoid the build-up of sweat, so players can stay cool and dry while they take advantage of the beautiful weather unhindered.
Look the part, play the part
While the comfort factor is always important, good golf shirts do more than just make you feel like you’re able to play without a care in the world.
When you watch PGA Professionals playing in the bright summer months on TV, they always have a strikingly professional look. This look isn’t an accident, and it’s brought about by wearing golf clothing that presents an undeniably impressive style.
The best golf shirts always offer a similar feeling. Whether you’re an amateur golfer just starting out, or if you’ve been in the game for years, the right golf shirt will make you look like you belong in the big leagues like nothing else.
Wash friendly
When it comes to saving cash, sometimes it pays to spend a little more on high-quality goods like golf shirts, so they don’t begin to fade or shrink after only a few washes.
At Clarkes, the golf shirts we stock are all from some of the biggest manufacturers in the game, like Nike and Galvin Green, so you always know you’re not only getting a bargain but also a shirt that’s built to last.
