I was wondering if anyone has any experience wearing Lacoste polos on the course?

I'm a big Lacoste fan, but until seeing a lot of the European Tour players wear them and along with Martin Kaymer, I had never thought of wearing them on course. So, any thoughts?

Thanks,

Chris

The best polos you can wear on the course imho. They are smart and they are comfortable. Do it!

Modern synthetic fabrics which wick sweat are much more suitable for golf.

I will never buy a cotton shirt again.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I have plenty of Nike Dri-Fits, they are great I do agree, but I'm looking for something cleaner looking. Not all the Lacoste polo's are cotton, they have a full golf line as well.

I don't care if my shirts are Galvin Green, Lacoste or Tesco's Stone Bay Golf range. If they fit nicely, look good, don't restrict my swing and are comfortable I'll wear them.

They lacoste too much for my budget. I wait for cheap Nike Dri-Fits to go on sale then buy them.

Can't justify $80 for a polo shirt for work let alone on the course.

But if they are in your budget I say go for it.

As far as golf shirts go I try and wait for Macy's to have a sale on their IZOD dri-fits.  Their cotton/poly blends do not hold up but their dry fit material ones do.

Sometimes you can score them for around $17-20 and they retail for $50.  Just returned from the mall and they were on sale for $25 today.

Another good cheap alternative for golf shirts are Champion brand that can be found at Target.  They normally run $17-19.99 depending on style and are more conservative in color (great for office wear too).  They have both striped and solid colors.

We bowl once a week during our lunch break from work and I make sure to wear a dry fit shirt to reduce sweating and these fit the bill.  Numerous washings without any fading or wear and tear.

I just wish they would add more colors each season.  Pretty much the same colors a red, white, light blue, navy and black.

I go to TJ Maxx every now and then and load up on Nautica polos. They look great and can be had pretty cheap if you shop around and use coupons.

Just so people don't think I'm so rich, snobby person who is looking at buying $95 CND polo's. My girlfriend has a cousin who lives in France and she has some connections. So,after shipping I could get a few at about $45 CND each. As said, I normally pick up a lot of my golf clothing when I go to the US at Macy's or Marshals.

Thank's everyone for their help thus far, really is appreciated.

Lacoste really isn't that good quality of a shirt. Local high end men's store quit carrying them because of so many complaints.

They carry Southern Tide now and i find them to be much better shirts.

I remember my Dad went to China and came back with knockoff Lacoste polos....they were really high quality....can't say much for the real deal though, never worn one

Picked up two Walter Hagen hi-dry shirts for $50 on a two-for-one sale - priced out at $25 each.

Plan to use these for fancy events, and continue to wear cotton golf shirts otherwise.

For most rounds of golf, I wear golf shirts and slacks that have been in my wardrobe for several months. I rarely wear new stuff for golf.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I like the look of their shirts.  Ive got a couple my gf bought me.  I would never wear them golfing though because they are cotton.  I usually pick a new shirt every two weeks when I get paid.  I like Nike, Puma, Adidas and Under Armour the most.  I usually buy a shirt that will go with a certain pair of shorts I have or vice versa.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
