The only thing that is critical for me is a nice quality sweat-wicking shirt (UA, or Adidas or something) for hot days. Everything else is whatever. A lot of days now I don't even bother grabbing my golf shoes and head out there with some sneakers. Hot days I wear regular khaki shorts, nothing fancy. Cold days khaki pants, nothing fancy.

For practice games I tend to dress conservatively. However, for matches and away days I like to dress up a bit. I have a pink outfit, a bright blue outfit, purple, orange and red. I am just about to p

I'm like many of the rest of y'all, golf shoes, low socks (so my ankles get a tan), decent shorts or slacks (no cargo shorts for me, just my preference) a shirt with a collar (including one by Polo fr

My club has a strict dress code, so not much variety in types of outfits just different colours. Proper length shorts, collared shirts, and usually a golf branded logo hat when its nice out.  Slacks,

Always microfiber, polyester fabric to stay dry, and I like the lightweight feel, even in the cold.

Shorts and polo in the heat, pants and polo in the cool, add a half zip in the cold.

For practice at the range I will usually wear my beloved Callaway hat with a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.  For actual rounds I will wear shorts with a collard shirt, along with my Callaway hat and a belt.

I walked 9 the other day wearing Birkenstocks and no socks.  Wasn't half bad.

I also got a couple knickers outfits for Christmas which I've worn a few times.  It's hard to make the bottoms stay up properly.  (I also can't keep my shirt tucked in wearing normal attire so it might be just me.)

I recently ended a multi-year hiatus from golf.  The first couple rounds back, I wore 100% cotton polos -- it's all I had in the closet.

Never again.

I bought a few cheap closeout shirts from Budget Golf (adidas, Greg Norman, Ping) and found a few more at Ross (Nike, Greg Norman, PGA Tour -- I really like the Airflux's that were mentioned earlier); also scored some breathable Norman shorts that are 1000% better than the shorts I wore those first 2 rounds in June.  That will be all I wear in the heat and humidity around here.

As for range time, practice like you play.  I'll wear the same shirts at the range that I would on the course.  I may not always hit the ball well, but at least I'll look decent doing it.

#1 priority for me is sun protection. In the summer, dry fit shirt, Adidas climalite pants (or something equally lite and cool), cooling sleeves, hat.

Your photo is playing tricks on my eyes ... it looks like the ball is hovering 6 inches off the ground.

I don't know how people dealt with 100% cotton in the dark ages. Look at the photos of sweaty tennis players in the 70s and 80s. Probably a new shirt every changeover.

I just call them golf shirts. Shorts. Sandal spikes. No hat. I'll wear this even if it's like 54 degrees, so long as there is some sun. If it gets colder, I'll wear a thermal shirt underneath the golf shirt, maybe a hat. If it's too cold to wear shorts, I don't play.

IN general I'll wear shorts and a polo shirt. In the 60 deg range or less I'll add a pullover and or pants.

Shorts or khakis (never jeans) and a collared shirt.  

When I first started playing golf my friend booked us a tee time at this course and when I showed up at my friends place in jeans to play, he told me they had a dress code and I had to go home and change.

So, dressing this way, I never have to worry about that happening again.

I love wearing my old Bite Golf Sandal Spikes, when playing on a hot and humid day. They are classic. My dogs gotta breathe.

And yes, they are quite stable.

I dress for the weather and where I'm playing. Last week my buddy's Son was on vacation, and we had bought some "golf cards" that allowed us to play a local high rent country club at a significant discount. I dressed to the nines for that round. All performance fabrics of course, as hot and sticky as it's been around here. But, I looked good!

Yesterday I played league at a little, busted ass 9 holer nearby. I wore some old workout shorts and an Under Armour tee shirt that I've had for probably 15 years! But nobody, including the owner of the course who is in the league, cares all that much. People show up to play this course in all manner of dress. It's decidedly casual.

So, I was dressed good enough for who it's for!

BTW, I'm playing the TST NE Ohio outing near Norwalk this weekend. It looks like a really nice place, so I'll be dressed to the nines for that round as well.

I have a very dirty Edmonton Oilers ball cap that I wear religiously when I golf.  For league Monday's I usually match it with a team polo.  

Usually if I'm golfing early it's shorts, polo, and my trusty blue Callaway wind sweater.  Rain or bug days and I resort to wearing pants.
