Ok, so your husband has encouraged you to start golfing. Now what? Well, of course having the appropriate golf apparel for women is of utmost important. Forget the clubs, time to go shopping. Golf apparel for women can be expensive but for some of you, you are saying bring it on, I want to look good swinging those clubs. In this article, we will cover the brands you should be looking for as well as what type of golf clothing you will need to get started.

What brands should I be looking for?

The best brands for women’s golf clothing and apparel are Ping, Nike, Adidas, and Ashworth. You can’t lose sticking with the tried and true. These brands carry a wide selection from sporty to fashion conscious. The good news about golf apparel is that the fashion trends have only changed slightly meaning your wardrobe will last you some time.

What clothes do I need to get started?

If you are just starting out, you will need the following:

窢牋牋牋?1 pair of Golf Shoes

窢牋牋牋?2 pairs of socks

窢牋牋牋?2 shirts

窢牋牋牋?1 pair of pants

窢牋牋牋?1 pair of shorts

窢牋牋牋?1 golf jacket (depending on where you live)

窢牋牋牋?1 golf hat or visor

You don’t have to go for the most expensive clothes on the rack, but you will want something that will last. Most of the materials used are very durable, if taken care of will last you a long time. You will want to make sure that if you live if a wet or windy region you get yourself a wind breaker to keep you dry if the rain decides to surprise you in the middle of your golf round.

How much should I expect to pay?

Depending on the golf clothing brand you select, you can expect to pay about $50-75 for a good quality shirt. Most golf shoes will range between $60-$100. Maybe a little more if you go for a higher end, more expensive fashionable shoe.

When you get into pants and shorts, you can expect to pay between $50-$100, again depending on the brand. Make sure you don’t get sucked into buying clothes at the golf course. You will pay significantly more than shopping in a local golf store, or online. Many of the online stores are very competitive in price. We have seen great prices on eBay as well if you take your time.

If you need plus sized golf apparel, there are some great websites now that specialize in women’s golf apparel for you. If you search “plus sized golf clothing” you will find many options available.

Ok, so now you are ready to get started. You have a new wardrobe, now what. Well hopefully you have golf clubs, if you don’t you can always rent clubs for the first few times to see what clubs feel the best for you. Make sure that you go to a local pro shop or golf store so you can swing several clubs. Many times women get clubs that are too heavy for them. More than likely you will want graphite shafts and of course a golf bag that matches your new golf wardrobe.

Happy Golfing!
