Golfing Base Layers - The Significance Of The Right Garments

The long-established view of the golfer heading out to play in his cap, plus fours and knee high socks is maybe well imprinted in most golfer’s minds and I do know a club or two in the area in which they would undoubtedly prefer their players to head out to play like that. Practically all clubs impose dress codes about what you can and cannot wear, but are we correct to be anxious about what we are wearing when we go out to join in a round of golf?

Aside from this stuffy outlook of what we should wear, if you look at the professional players on tour they conform to the central dress code, but take particular notice to their top halves. Look around the finest payers at your preferred course and see what they are wearing.

There is a definite golf fashion to be seen, if we pay no attention to the plus fours brigade! Long sleeved polo base layers, specialist t-shirts, over the head type coats etc. If you look round a golf shop it is not hard to pick up the identical types of clothing that the professionals dress in.

So is there any point copying these top players? Doing so might well make you feel the part, but is there a basis to copy them? Or will being dressed as a carbon copy of the top players just make you feel even worse at the first tee when you duff your shot or the ball shoots off to the side, watched by a four ball of top players?

There are reasons that these top players dress as they do. And the essential answer is that these specialist golf clothes have been developed with the golfer in mind.

The polo neck long sleeved base layer keeps you warm in cold weather. A decent one will also help to wick away sweat from the surface of your skin, the way that the clothing that distance runners wear does the same. This wicking action keeps you more comfy when you start to warm up, but it is also key in cold weather.

In cold weather you can still sweat a bit when you exert yourself. So if during a game of golf you exert yourself for a moment and then rest again, this sweat is removed from the skin. If it wasn’t removed, you would feel yourself starting to chill. As a result, by wicking away sweat the clothes are not just making you more comfy but also warmer in the cold weather.

The supplementary layers also have benefits for their shapes and materials. An over the head type showerproof coat not only protects you from slight showers, it is also designed to allow you to take your swing with no restrictions and the lack of a zip down the front prevents that swinging out during the downswing.

So dressing up for the game is part of it. It should make you feel more ready for the game and keep you more at ease whilst you play.
