Just more of same from me: - I sweat no matter what - Cotton feels terrible - Light-weight fabrics releases the sweat faster and are less clingy I won't play in cotton. I tried once in the late summery / early fall and it was miserable. I hate even wearing it to the driving range.

I fall into the category of sweating no matter what.  I can be cold, and I'll still sweat.  I'm in good physical shape as well (basketball player) so it's not always a concern of fitness, just some people can't find a way around it.  I agree with the others who said the dri-fit and breathable clothing have worked best for me.  I'll sweat no matter what, but it seems to evaporate quicker on those types.

It seems that with these fabrics, I tend to smell alot more and alot faster! And it seems that the smell stays stuck in the fabric, especially in the armpit area even after it has been washed... Does that happen to someone?

1.  Does anyone else find this issue?

2.  Are there any high quality cotton blend golf shirts that will actually allow your body to breath?

Thanks,

IMHO everyone sweats no matter what type of material your clothes are made from.

I wear Under armour, Adidas, Nike etc. and sweat like crazy, My best experience is with Under armour. Stays the coolest and dries the fastest.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
