Like others, I wear my golf polos to work as well (the cheaper ones).  I've paid up to $50 for a shirt, but $40 is typically my max.  I try to find them when they're closing out a particular years shirt to make way for the new designs.  You can often find them at good prices then.  I buy most of my shirts on Amazon too.  Might pop into Dick's for a couple if I have a coupon or some Score Card rewards points.  Although usually Dick's coupons are a scam - as they exclude pretty much EVERY brand.  "20% off your next Golf Apparel Purchase" Excludes Nike, Taylor Made, Adidas, Oakley, Puma, Callaway, Walter Hagen, Slazenger, PING, Under Armour, FootJoy and all other brands you would think of purchasing, additional exclusions may apply.

Haha, you have to love the exclusions. Right on the money and that cracked me up. I actually have a Golf Galaxy coupon at home right now which is almost verbatim to what you listed. Needless to say, I've successfully used maybe one coupon that I've ever been sent and that turned out to be 5% off of $100 worth of regripping.

There's an Under Armour outlet close by.  Do most of my shopping there.  Every once in a while my wife will pick up some nice shirts @ Kohl's...I thin l Champion brand.

NEVER pay full price for a golf shirt. I'll never spend over $25.00 for a golf shirt.

Same for shoes...always go to the "Clearance" section on the stores.

@Hardballs You type the comma with your thumb?  Odd.

I'm usually very particular about my there their they're, [quote name="joekelly" url="/t/76158/golf-fashion#post_1029301"]Finally,  i much prefer cotton, or cotton/linen, pants (trousers) for hot weather golf.   Except for modern sun-blocking synthetic fabrics, which i do wear for the protection, i generally avoid synthetics and go cotton for shirts.  And long sleeved only.  Can wear short sleeves if also use arm-condoms,  as seen on many lady Asian  pros. [/quote] arm condoms?

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
