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?

    • For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...  
    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?
    • Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }
    • Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
