Varies depending on the weather. Usually it's shorts of some sort and a t-shirt. If it's cooler or very early in the morning, I might wear hiking type pants. I occasionally wear jeans for practicing, but I find them to be a bit constricting. I recently picked up a pair of tennis-shoe style golf shoes. Usually wear a Red Sox baseball hat, unless they're in playoffs with the Angels when I switch it for my Cubs hat to save some grief.

**Big_M** · January 17, 2009

if it's warm... hemmed bermuda length shorts and a polo of the moisture wicking variety
if it's cooler... docker-type pants and a longsleeved polo or mock turtle, with a fleece vest if necessary
a matching belt
clean underwear
appropriate socks... long for pants, ankle for shorts
my FJ's
a hat, visor, or other headwear
my glasses
absolutely no jewlery, watches, etc.

and I always take off my gun... as that was discussed on another thread.

I wear plus-4's (Americans call them "knickers", in error), with a tam o'shanter cap. Over the years, I have purchased 14 pairs of plus-4's, with colors ranging from solids (like black, white, beige, red) to Scottish plaid (they are wool and were marketed by Payne Stewart Enterprises). In tournaments, I get many favorable comments. Usually, I am the only player wearing them. But, I wear them because I like them. As Payne said, when I put my golfing clothes on, I feel like I am getting ready to play well. If I go out to practice, I wear shorts or pants and look like everyone else. And I feel differently. Also,with plus-4's, I feel tied into the "old-timers", like Gene Sarazen, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Harry Vardon, etc.

Here is a footnote: the day after Payne died in his tragic accident, I went to the golf course and wore black plus-4's, a white and black shirt, a black cap with white shoes and socks. A friend came over to me and said, "You are wearing black. Very appropriate. You did this for Payne, to honor him, didn't you?" He knew. I started wearing them after seeing Payne on TV in the 1984 Las Vegas tournament that he almost won. I thought, "That is a different look in today's world, and he looks pretty good." Within a few months, I saw that the Head Company was selling them on a close-out, and I bought 3 pair for $15 each.

Shorts and polo when it's warm . . . Dockers and mocks when cooler.

**imtomtomim** · January 17, 2009

usually a polo with either jeans or shorts and my baseball cap to keep the light out of my eyes. nothing special, no jewlery or glasses and I like to keep my pockets empty. Sometimes when I'm shifting my hips, I'll throw a few balls in my back pocket with a wallet and tighten up my hip turn, but I don't really like clothes that bind.

**GaijinGolfer** · January 17, 2009

Depending upon how warm it is, I go with either a nice sweater or vest and khakis and if its warmer I go with a polo shirt and khakis. For a hat I normally wear a baseball cap with some golf-related company on it (Bridgestone, Mizuno, etc...).
Every once in a while I will break out my Tam O-Shanter cap and plus-fours. (what some people refer to as, "knickers", like what Payne Stewart used to wear)
Jeans, t-shirts and cowboy hats are kind of frowned upon by most golf courses.

**flopdarock** · January 17, 2009

depending on where i play...
i usually wear shorts and some kinda golf polo that keeps you dry when its hot... i got a bunch of nike and callaway polo's for cheap... i also wear my nfl sd chargers polos... i have a ton... i think adidas or rbk makes them... all moisture wicking material...
if its cooler out ill throw on one of my bubba golf pants... any colder an i throw on heatgear underneath it all... i cant stand jackets
i also wear one of a number of my chargers caps
my sunglasses depending on time of day and how much shade the trees are giving...
and my nike saddle style square toed shoes with q-lock soft spikes

**MI Rob** · January 17, 2009

when its mild out ill wear a polo and some Docker pants, and sometimes a zip up if its real cold. But when its pretty hot outside ill wear some docker type shorts and a polo. And my nike airmax revives.

**kingofcars08** · January 17, 2009

I have many polos from courses I have worked at over the last year, made by adidas, nike, and under armour, but I really like these new half zip mock polos that I have made by adidas, they are a camillo/sergio style european look. Very lightweight, keeps you cool. Match those with thin tommy hilfiger slacks and its perfect for anywhere between 60-110 degrees. I dont wear shorts on the course....ever. Toss in a white belt to match the white shoes and white cleveland hat, and Im set to go. During the cold I have three different colored long sleeved under armour that I wear if it is chilly. Maybe a wind shirt. I too like to keep my pockets light, I only have my glove in back pocket, a divot repair/ball mark combo tool, and two "zero friction" tees (one for drives, one for par 3's, they are plastic and do not break!!!)

**-BAMA-** · January 17, 2009

in the summer i wear shorts that come right above my kneecaps (getting harder to find nowadays) and a polo/nautica shirt...

wintertime, i either wear black or dark brown slacks, longsleeve polo shirts and a lightweight but warm as hell jacket..

i have about 7 different colored ping hats that i match with whatever im wearing..

and 2 pairs of golf shoes, one pair black, one brown...

**Fourputt** · January 17, 2009

I wear what's appropriate for the weather and the venue. With the bickering that other thread caused, that's all I'm going to say here.

Well, I guess if there was ever an appropriate time for jeans on the course, it would be that one, on the ranch called the cow pasture.

First, (off topic) I had to read this post three times to even get the gist of what you are saying. Please in the future attempt to write so that it is easier to read.

To answer your question, I wear appropriate golf clothing, meaning a collared or mock turtleneck golf shirt and docker type shorts or pants. In the middle of winter I wear jeans on occasion if the course is muddied up.

**Jcp907** · January 18, 2009

I try to wear khaki or black shorts or pants and short sleeve polo shirt that looks nice, but if I am just going to the range, anything goes. The kids enjoy dressing the part when we all go as a family, even if it's only to the range.

**ks8829** · January 19, 2009

I usually wear a under mock, polo shirt and zero restriction outerwear.

**bogeyhitter25** · January 19, 2009

I love looking good. I'll try and dress up as nicely as I can. I mean, hey. If you can't play good (which I certainly can't), why not look the part?

**shortgrass lover** · January 19, 2009

Usually a thin adidas or nike polo shirt if it's warm, and if it's cold I just wear some underarmour under the thin shirt. I don't like wearing pullovers or sweaters but when it get below 50* out here I usually have to were some sort of thicker clothing. But this week it's been REALLY cold for typical NC weather, so I wear a pair of thin pants under a pair of larger sweatpants, and multiple layers of underarmour under a fleece pullover... gotta do what ya' gotta do
