  1. What We Tried The Lag Shot Lady 7-iron and Lag Shot Lady Driver. These training aid were designed specifically for women. Who Tried It: Britt Olizarowicz- MyGolfSpy writer and scratch golfer. I love training aids built specifically for women golfers. When I found out that Lag Shot offers a women-specific variant of their popular swing trainers, I had to give them a go! A Little Backstory I’ve tried a lot of training aids and gadgets, some for my own game and some for students I’ve worked with. There are very few (good) training aids and feedback tools explicitly built for female golfers. I took the Lag Shot Lady driver and 7-iron to the driving range along with my Foresight GC3 launch monitor. My goal was to compare how I’m hitting the ball currently with how I performed after a session with Lag Shot Lady. 0 seconds of 27 secondsVolume 0% What Is Lag Shot Lady? The Lag Shot Lady is a swing trainer built specifically for a female golfer. The clubs have a thicker and heavier graphite shaft that is designed to naturally add lag to the golf swing without you having to think about it. The clubs function like traditional golf clubs. You hit real golf balls with them. This is not just a warm-up tool. Lag Shot has been around for a while but it had a standard-size grip, longer length and slightly heavier shaft, making it a tough transition for the average female player. Although Lag Shot Lady is heavier than your current clubs, it’s not difficult to swing because of the unique weighting and flexible shaft. Testing and Results If you have never used one of these types of flexible shaft training aids, there can be a bit of a learning curve. The shaft is whippy and you will feel like you have almost no control over it on the first few swings. Having been through this before, I took it a little slow initially. Lag Shot Lady 7-iron Results Video Link After I warmed up, my process started with hitting 15 standard shots with my 7-iron. Swing speed with my 7-iron is typically around 73 mph. When I finished with my 7-iron, I hit 15 shots with the Lag Shot. Solid contact with the Lag Shot Lady 7-iron feels excellent. You can’t rush transitions, your tempo has to be controlled, you get the feel of “loading” the club and Lag Shot forces you to incorporate the lower body into each swing. On average, I hit the Lag Shot about 10 yards shorter than my standard 7-iron and the ball flight was nearly the same. The goal isn’t to hit the Lag Shot Lady far. It’s to hit solid shots. Now for the fun part. After 15 shots with the Lady Lag 7-iron, I switched back to my 7-iron and my swing speed increased to 76 mph on the very next swing. These results were quick. I thought I was hitting it pretty well before practicing with Lag Shot but I obviously have room for improvement. The extra mph in swing speed helped me gain distance. After repeating this process several times, my swing speed consistently stayed in the 75-77 mph range with the 7-iron. I think I would probably max out around 78 mph with more practice but that remains to be seen. With these encouraging results, I was ready to test the driver. Lag Shot Lady Driver Results Testing the driver was a little trickier for me. My regular driver is standard men’s length while the Lag Shot Lady driver is standard women’s length (about an inch shorter). Needless to say, I had some trouble transitioning from the Lag Shot Lady driver to my driver. The results were good when I eased up on the takeaway and slowed the backswing. The Lag Shot Lady driver absolutely improves the feeling of lag and helps women golfers understand the correct way to generate power. One thing to note is that the driver is much easier to connect with than the iron. Even if you don’t hit perfect shots with the driver, you still benefit from the feel of lag. The iron requires some precision and precise timing to hit it in the center of the face. If you are easily frustrated, keep that in mind. Overall Impressions I love training aids that allow you to hit an actual golf ball. Learning through feel is a great way to deepen understanding. Yes, you need to eventually transition from the Lag Shot to your club. However, the feel you get when striking a real ball makes this a very effective feedback tool for women. I gained speed with just one range session. I’m not sure how much more needs to be said. I’ll be on the range with the Lag Shot Lady if you need me! Who Is This For? If you struggle with consistency and lack of power, the Lag Shot Lady is a good fit. Don’t worry if your handicap is high or low. The Lag Shot works for any female golfer. However, I would recommend the 7-iron for the mid to low handicappers and the driver for the higher handicapper. If your swing is inconsistent, it takes a little while to get the 7-iron working, which may frustrate some players. If your swing speed is particularly slow, the Lag Shot Lady can become a training program/project for you. Although it’s not only a speed trainer, the extra weight in the club helps increase speed. Take 10 to 20 swings daily (with or without a ball) and gain strength. Final Thoughts and Tips The 7-iron is my favorite of the Lag Shot clubs I tried. If you are purchasing just one, start with that. The Lag Shot Lady 7-iron is $119 and the driver is $159. The combo package for the driver and 7-iron costs $249. If you feel like Lag Shot could be the secret to your overall golf game, they also offer a Triple Threat package of driver, 7-iron and wedge. This is worth considering if you have big goals for your game in 2024, just make sure to incorporate the time into your practice routine. https://lagshotgolf.com/
  2. The ladies club championship is a big day at any golf club or country club. At one of the clubs I worked at, my lesson book was completely filled for the two weeks before the championship while everyone made last-minute changes to their game. As stressful and nerve-wracking as the ladies club championship can be, it’s a lot of fun. The chance of winning, the camaraderie with friends, and that competitive edge during a round make it worth it. If you are trying to decide if your game is ready, or you want to make sure you are taking the right steps to be ready for your ladies club championship, I have you covered. Why is the ladies club championship such a big deal? When I was seven years old, I swung a club for the first time, and within about six months, I had already picked up on the fact that ladies’ golf and men’s golf are two different things. Young girls weren’t really into the sport; it was odd that I was. Equipment was hard to find; even ladies’ tees on the golf course were kind of an afterthought. Golf has come a long way. Along the way, competitive opportunities for women golfers have also grown. Playing in the club championship is a great way for amateur women golfers to get the thrill of competitive golf. Also, let’s face it, being given the title of the best golfer at your club is really a great honor. Is Your Golf Game Ready for the Ladies Club Championship I’m always surprised by how many women golfers claim they are not ready for the ladies club championship. This is exactly why the club championship has flights. Depending on the size of your club, there will be a championship flight (which is usually a gross event), and then there are A, B, and C flights where you may even have a gross and net winner. Your game is likely ready for one of these flights/categories, but here are a few things to consider to help you make your determination. Skills and Physical Condition Skills and physical conditioning go hand in hand. A club championship is usually a qualifier, then at least one or two rounds. Some are match-play events others are stroke play events. You may end up playing a couple of rounds of golf a few days in a row. Just make sure you are ready to hand that. As far as your skills are concerned, you will want to ensure that you play to your handicap, at least the majority of the time. If you are a 20 handicap and shoot 22 over par one day and 18 another, you are fine. If, however, you are a 15 handicap who hasn’t played in a year or two and you pick up halfway through the hole or throw out any score over 100, your skills are probably not club championship ready. The biggest thing you will want is consistency. The number you shoot really makes the most difference in the championship flight. Course Knowledge How well do you know the golf course? You may play in the ladies league each week with your friends, but do you know the course? Are you playing it the best way that you can? Knowing the greens and understanding where to land the ball on your tee shots and approach shots can make all the difference when trying to capture that club championship title. I encourage you to take a walk around the course and play a round where you focus on the insider or member knowledge that can really play into the round. I did this so much when playing competitive golf, and it’s amazing the way it can change your view of the course. Tournament Experience How much tournament experience have you had? If this is your first club championship, don’t be discouraged; you need to start somewhere. However, be prepared that tournament golf feels slightly different from a casual round. You have to pay a little more attention to the shots you are hitting, and every shot officially counts. A tip here is to go out and play a match against a friend before the club championship. Put something on it so you desire to win, whether it’s a glass of wine after the round or $5 make sure you are playing for something. Handicap Requirements Some country clubs will have requirements, and your handicap will have to be within a certain range for you to participate in the club championship. Check with your assistant golf professionals and head golf professional to see whether or not you would qualify to play. If you don’t, let them know you are interested, and they can help give you some steps to get on the path to participate in a ladies club championship at some point. The Importance of Practice and Training When you make the decision to participate in your ladies club championship, it’s smart to put together a practice and preparation plan. Most courses will open signup about a month or so before the start of the event. This is plenty of time to work on your game and get ready. Don’t Push the Practice Practice is great, but you can overdo it. If you are not used to practicing at all, add in one or two sessions a week for about a ½ hour each time. Practicing for too long or too many days in a row could actually have adverse effects on your game. Focus on Specific Skills Know what you are practicing. Do you struggle with a specific club? Is your short game weak when hitting out of the rough? Find the specific skills that you need to work on and focus on those instead of just hitting golf balls. In addition, when you are hitting balls on the range, ensure you are always aiming at a target. Don’t forget to throw a few balls in a bunker and practice some sand shots! If you land in the sand during one of your rounds, you don’t want to be caught off guard. Do Some Extra Walking Try to do some extra walking in the days leading up to your club championship. The extra steps are good for your health and mind, and you will have more stamina and strength when you play your official club championship round. Play A Round By Yourself It’s amazing how many lady golfers have never played a round of golf by themselves. Get out there and play golf with no socializing or spending time with friends. Get out there and just enjoy some golf on your own! This is a great way to learn about the course, focus on your game and get to know what type of player you are. Mental Preparation for a Ladies Club Championship I can and will do an entire post on mentally preparing for a golf tournament. For now, I’ll give you some top tips to ensure you are ready for the difference between tournament golf and regular play. Learn to take deep breaths after poor shots; you will improve your decision-making capability Pick a game plan for your club championship round, play it through mentally in your head, picking the clubs and shots that you want to hit Stay focused on the goal of hitting one good shot after another, don’t worry so much about score, hit each shot the best that you can Know that you will have bad holes, but learn to react to them appropriately so that they don’t turn into bad rounds Be prepared to be nervous for the event; it can throw off your yardages and your tempo, take deep breaths and focus on making a good balanced swing The Day Before the Ladies Club Championship You may want to save the day before the championship to be a practice day. Take a walk if you can, head to the putting green and get a feel for the speed of the greens, hit golf balls at the range for a half hour to an hour, and then mentally prepare for the round the next day. It’s always a good idea to pick out an outfit you feel comfortable and confident in. Look at your options and decide in advance. If you can, do some stretching to make sure you feel good. Also, take it easy on the food and drink the day before. You won’t want to have an upset stomach on the day of the event. I’ve always enjoyed a salad with some lean protein as a pre-tournament meal. The morning of the event, I focus more on hydration than anything else, but again give yourself a little protein to help you through the round. Getting the Support You Need Club championships are fun, and chances are your friends and family will want to be involved in this process with you. Make sure you also seek out the help of a golf professional if you are serious about trying to win the event. You can use golf technology to help you narrow down any issues that you might have in your game. In addition, golf professionals are a great source of encouragement. They want nothing more than to see you win. As a young player, one of the most satisfying things for me was to tell my coach that I won. You will experience that same feeling if you have a great coach to help you through this process. Good Luck, and Let Us Know How You Played! Hopefully, this information helps you feel more prepared for your ladies club championship. Playing in a club championship is an accomplishment. More women should feel less afraid of these events and more excited to participate in them. Competitive golf is a unique experience that will help you enjoy the game on a new level.
  3. As a former golf teaching professional specializing in female golfers, I see a lot of bad advice for female golfers. I’ve been playing golf for 30 years, and I know for a fact you have been given some bad advice at some point in your golf career. Golf tips for women tend to annoy me a bit. They are not always explicitly directed to the woman golfer. In addition, many tips are geared just to the new women golfers. If you want some practical golf tips to take to the range right now, I have you covered. Utilize Your Legs For More Power Utilizing your legs in your golf swing will help you gain more power. Your legs have some big muscles. Traditionally, women don’t have as much upper body strength as men, but lower body strength is quite good. So use the legs! Here’s how to go about doing that. 1) Do Some Exercises Off The Course If you can use any of your off course exercising and training to improve on course play, it’s well worth it. Exercising off the course (even if it means walking a few days a week) will build up muscle in your legs. Think about doing some squats, lunges, and leg curls. I also do a lot of running. It helps with stamina just as much as strength, but walking can also do the trick. 2) Get a Great Pair of Golf Shoes You may need great golf shoes to maintain stability and traction. I notice that when I don’t have the proper shoes, my right foot (right-handed player) can slide or move on the downswing as I push off. Make sure that the toes of the shoes are also going to protect your foot as you rotate through the shot. You want to feel stable, protected, and ready to attack. Some of the “cute” shoes made for women players don’t offer the same stability and feel as the more athletic shoes. One of my favorites is the Puma Ignite. I’ve been wearing these, and they have helped increase my power. 3) Think About Pushing Off the Ground Finally, if you want to benefit from the power your legs have to offer, think about using the ground as something to push off of as you swing. Take a practice swing, and when you are swinging through the golf ball, focus on your feet pushing off the turf. As you make your way from the top of the backswing down through impact, you will rotate, but feeling that the help of the ground forces can make all the difference. This is one of those women’s golf tips that takes a little longer to feel and understand, but it will make all the difference. Practice on the driving range and start to think about a connection between your feet and the ground. Start to use it! Take a look her at a swing sequence for me and how I push off of the trail foot and push down through impact with the lead foot. Start Tracking Your Rounds Why are women golfers not tracking their rounds the way men are? If you already track your golf scores, you can move on to the next tip, but we need to take a second and address the importance of round tracking. Let’s say you are a 19 handicap. Do you know why you are a 19 handicap? Sure, you may slice a drive here and there or make a three-putt; however, there is much more to the golf game than this. What is consistently causing you to shoot 19 shots over par? Until you start tracking your rounds, that answer can be complicated to find. The good news is there are easy tracking apps that can help you collect information about your golf game and see where the real issues are. I’ve used something called Pinpoint, and it’s a very in-depth look at strokes gained. Some higher handicapper women will think this is a lot to manage because of the need to enter all of your shots. Another option is something like the Garmin app. I use this in connection with my Bushnell Wingman View speaker and my phone, and it quickly inputs a score after a round. In the end, you get some excellent data and at least some idea of why your golf scores may be higher than you think they could be. Don’t Pick Scoring Related Goals Scoring related goals takes a lot of work to live up to. Take it from my experience on this one. The first time I broke 100, I shot 93. My scoring goal was to shoot 99. It only worked for a short time, I was a beginner golfer, and I struggled with things like distance and short game consistency. However, when it was time to learn to break 90, I had a completely different goal. The goal was to hit fairways. If I hit fairways with my driver, the rest of the golf hole would be entirely different for me. I had to learn to pick a better target line. In addition, I worked on my slice to try to even things out a bit and get the ball in the middle. Guess what happened the first time I hit “most” of the fairways on the golf course? I shot 84. This is the way golf works. You have to pick goals that directly contribute to lower scoring instead of picking scoring goals. Here are a few I would try out: Increase clubhead speed by 3 mph (use a launch monitor to calculate speeds; it doesn’t need to be fancy) Play a round with less than 30 putts Hit at least 3 greens in regulation Get on the green on each par 3 Establish proper posture before each swing Maintain good balance on all drives Tailor these to your golf game and where you find weaknesses. Course Management Requires Planning Proper golf course management requires planning and a pre-shot routine. If you are still just trying to hit the ball down the middle and get to the center of the green, you are limiting yourself. The most effective way to improve golf course management and positioning is to have a plan. Run through the golf course in your mind the night before. You probably know where you need to be on the first hole if you want to get the ball on or near the green. Here are the things you can think about as you plan through your golf course management. Always play your preferred shot whenever you can (if you like a fade, play it just aim to the left side of the pin) A pin on the right side of the green is easier to attack if you are coming from the left side of the fairway. Getting as close to the green as possible is not always an intelligent layup; put yourself at a yardage you like The spot you leave your golf ball on the green matters; you want uphill putts as often as possible; being on the green is not enough! I’ll tell you one of my favorite golf course management stories from when I was a golf instructor and gave a lesson on the course. We were on a par 5, and the female golfer I worked with played from the forward tees. She hit a perfect drive in the middle of the fairway, took out a 5 wood, and then laid up to the position of her 7 iron. Before she hit this shot, she said, “I hate trying to approach a green with my 7 iron. It’s hard for me.” She then told me she was okay with hitting 7 iron shots on the range, just not as an approach. So we picked up this golf ball she had hit and moved back to the position of her drive. In the center of the fairway. I had her hit the 7-iron from this location. She hit it perfectly. There was plenty of fairway to work with, no trouble, etc. Now, instead of being a 7-iron distance from the pin, she was a 5-wood distance from the pin. Guess who hits their 5 wood perfectly every time? The end result was a par. It was the first par she had ever made on this hole. All we did was switch up the clubs to make more sense for her game. As I said, course management requires planning. A Great Takeaway Can Change Your Game The first few inches of your backswing can set you up for a good or bad golf swing. If you don’t know what to do with your takeaway, it’s time for a bit of practice and understanding. I love a pre-shot routine for women golfers that includes a practice of the takeaway. My takeaway (and the one I recommend) includes bringing the club back low and slow along the ground and making a turn or pivot with the lower body. Your shoulder will turn back and away from the ball, and you will feel a rotation in your body. The number one mistake I see in women golfers, especially beginner golfers, is to pick the club straight up. That position is difficult to recover from and certainly won’t help when it comes to swing speed and consistency. Link To Article Video Takeaway For Lady Golfer Practice Putting Everyday For some reason, women find putting practice to be boring. Wait, maybe it’s all golfers who find putting practice boring! The good news is, it doesn’t have to be. The key to becoming a great putter is to put the time in. Not only do you need a good putting stroke, but you also need an understanding of slope, break, and distance control. Find yourself a friend to practice putting with. Set up a putting station in your house. Work on short and long putts and find some training devices that make it more enjoyable to practice. Here are a few of my favorites. Even if it’s 10 to 15 minutes a day (while you are watching a show or before you get into bed for the night), it will make a big difference in your putting ability on the course. Cheap but effective putting mat: SKLZ Putt A Bout Putting gates to improve mindset, aiming and alignment: Go Sports Putting Gates Putting clips for improving stroke accuracy: Dave Pelz Putting Clips Customize Your Equipment Finally, last but not least… please only buy the complete women’s golf sets after first making sure they are the right fit for you. As a general rule, most beginners can get away with this type of equipment and have it actually be a good fit. However, if you are playing in golf tournaments, participating in regular practice, and wanting to lower your scores, you need custom golf equipment. Here are some things you must consider when purchasing new clubs: Long irons vs. hybrids, which is best for your swing speed At least 3 wedges in the golf bag (pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge) Shaft that matches your speed (doesn’t have to be ladies flex) Optimized center of gravity for your playing ability Proper loft gapping throughout the set Do not skip out on putter fitting; it’s essential Final Thoughts Hopefully, these women’s golf tips have helped you have a more positive attitude about your game and the actions you can take moving forward. The most important thing is to avoid the tips, like keeping your head down, left arm straight, taking a slow swing, etc. Analyze your golf game and then find tips that align directly with where you need improvement. This is the best way to take your game to another level. Let us know what other tips you want to see as we expand this guide for women players.
  4. As a female golfer who has been playing golf for nearly 30 years, I’ve seen my fair share of fashion trends. In fact, I remember a time, a long time ago, when finding clothes for women golfers was nearly impossible. Today, things are different. Golf fashion is actually starting to become kind of fun for women golfers. However, there are still issues with dress codes, playability, and more. I’m going to give you a full in-depth guide on what women wear to golf, whether or not they are appropriately dressed, and how to find clothes that actually feel good when you play. What Do Women Wear To Golf? Women golfers should wear: Collared shirts (or non-collared shirts with sleeves) Appropriate length shorts or skirts Golf shoes Sun protection and accessories Women golfers get a bit more leeway in the dress code than male golfers. Unfortunately, this tends to make the process of getting dressed for golf a bit more complicated. I’ll break down each of the categories of women’s golf attire and fill you in on any of the gray areas about what you can and can’t wear on the course. Shirts Most golf courses require women golfers to wear an appropriate collared shirt or a shirt with no color that has sleeves. What does this really mean? Leave the T-shirts and tank tops at home. If you have a nice short sleeve shirt that is golf appropriate and matches perfectly with your skort or pants, that is acceptable. If you have been around the game of golf a long time, chances are you understand what appropriate is. For new players, stick to the collared shirt. Until you get a feel for what is acceptable on the course, go with the basic dress code. Shirts for men have to remain tucked in at all times; some clubs allow women golfers to keep their shirts untucked. I suggest finding something that allows for the shirt to tuck in, it’s a neater look, and the shirt won’t get in your way when you swing. Bottoms There are basically three options for women golfers when it comes to bottoms: Appropriate length shorts Appropriate length skirts (or skorts) Pants I know I keep saying this “appropriate length,” and it may make you feel like the middle school dress code has returned. Some courses can be a bit like this, and if you go too short on your bottoms, you may be asked to change. The good news here is that the concept that women had to wear Bermuda length shorts has gone away. It’s now appropriate to wear shorts that are in that 5 to 7-inch range. Remember that your height and build can make shorts or skirts look longer or shorter. Take a look at your outfit before you head to the course, and make sure you feel it looks appropriate. If you stick with companies like Adidas or Under Armour and their sporting lines for women, you should have no trouble finding the proper length. Dresses Golf dresses are appropriate. Women golfers that want to wear golf dresses will find the dresses are usually cut just above the knee, and they often have built-in shorts to help make playing a sport a bit more convenient! When choosing a dress for a round of golf, I would stick with companies that make dresses specifically for golfers. There are plenty of collared dresses out there that are not exactly designed for a woman golfer, although they may work fine for a cocktail at the country club after golf. Hats and Outerwear Hats are smart to wear on the course. You have some room to be creative with a hat if you prefer a wider-brim sun hat or a traditional baseball-style cap. Hats should be worn forward-facing, and most clubs do not require women to take the hat off when they walk into the clubhouse. This is a great benefit considering what a round of golf can do to your hair. I like to stick with hats that are white, navy, or even pink. Choose something that can match several of your outfits so that you always have sun protection but look pulled together at the same time. What Should Women NOT Wear To Golf? Women should not wear: Denim Short shorts Tank tops or sleeveless tops Gym attire There is a fine line right now in women’s golf about leggings on the golf course. Leggings are so convenient because we can wear them to the gym, to get the kids from school, to spend time around the house, or head to the grocery store. In fact, leggings can even be dressed up to be worn out. However, there are many golf courses that are still considering this gym or workout attire, and they DO NOT want you wearing it out on the course. I suggest looking into a pair of pants that fits like a legging but is clearly more like golf pants. Something like the Willit Women’s Golf Stretch Pants is a good lower-priced option that does a good job of mixing traditional pants with pull-on style pants. Stay away from denim altogether; many clubhouses don’t even want you wearing denim when you head into the club for dinner. As I said earlier, spend your first year as a golfer wearing more traditional women’s golf clothes from golf manufacturers, and you should not run into too many issues. Once you have a handle on the courses you play, it becomes much easier to wear the right attire. Country Club Dress Code For Women The dress code for women will change from one club to another. This is the problem. What works at your home course may not be acceptable at a course you are playing as a guest. Again, conservative and traditional is your way to go here, and you will be just fine. I have put together a few things that I think can be helpful from a dress code for women’s standpoint. These are options for women when it comes to getting dressed for golf, and I think it helps you clearly see what is acceptable and what is not going to cut it. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to a country club prior to playing to make sure your clothes are appropriate for that day. What should women wear for first-time golfing? If it’s your first time out on the golf course, make sure to wear a collared golf shirt. In addition, wearing standard khaki shorts or a skort that is below the mid-thigh is a great idea. The first time you play golf, you also want to make sure you are comfortable. So much of what women wear to golf is about dress code; not enough of a focus is placed on playability and comfort. Men’s golf shirts are made with extra room in the shoulders and chest so as not to restrict movements. Sticking with golf-specific clothing and attire will ensure this happens for women golfers as well. I’ve played many rounds of golf with golf clothes that are just plain uncomfortable to be in. If something is restricting my swing, it will impact my club head speed and my ability to score that day. Some Of My Favorites This is not an extensive list of my favorite golf clothing for women. As time goes on and I test clothing on the golf course to see how it really performs, I will continue to update this list. For now, I’m leaving you with two options that I have personally tested, and feel as though they have earned a spot on this list. The first is the TBMPOY Women’s Short Sleeve Polo. I bought this one because I tend to ruin white golf shirts rather quickly in the summer heat. However, I love having a white to pair with a unique belt or skort. This shirt holds up well, fits nicely (a little generous), and is really fairly priced. Another option I stand behind is the Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt. I use this for spring and fall golf, and I wear it off the course a lot as well. This has truly become one of my favorite pieces, and although it’s not a specific golf shirt, it has plenty of room for you to swing. Frequently Asked Questions Here are a few of the more commonly asked questions concerning what women wear to golf. Can women wear leggings to golf? Some public golf courses will allow women to wear leggings to play, but most private clubs will not. Leggings on the golf course is still a developing issue. You may see more leggings allowed at practice facilities and for certain days of play on the course. Do ladies have to wear a collared shirt for golf? Some ladies’ shirts have a more basic collar or a V Neck design, but a collared shirt is generally recommended. How do you dress stylishly for golf? To dress stylishly for golf, don’t be afraid to wear patterns and bright colors. Golfers have always gotten away with wearing something that stands out a bit. I suggest buying some solid color tops and bottoms. Then you can match with a variety of things. Throw in a few patterns and you are set. Is there a dress code for watching golf? Most PGA Tour, Korn Ferry, LPGA, and LIV events do not have a dress code for spectators. However, most people will wear golf attire. In addition, find something that is at least comfortable to move around the golf course all day. You can walk several miles when watching a golf tournament. What should a young girl wear to golf? Golf attire for young girls can be limited. However, the same dress code that is followed for women must also be followed for young girls. Look for a collared shirt, and a skirt or shorts that are used for school uniforms. Finding ways to repurpose the wardrobe is always a win! Can women wear jeans to golf? Women cannot wear jeans to golf. Even with leggings starting to come up as acceptable at some golf courses, jeans are still not approved attire. Final Thoughts I’ve been a golfer for close to 30 years and have seen the trends in women’s fashion. However, having a great collared shirt in a performance fabric and some classic khaki-style shorts will almost always work. If you are on the fence about whether or not an outfit is acceptable, try to stick with golf clothing manufacturers. In addition, call the golf shop ahead of time and make sure there are no unusual or specific requirements they may have. The good news is that once you get comfortable on the golf course, you will also get comfortable with the style and be able to change things up a bit. https://countryclubcontent.com/what-do-women-wear-to-golf-dress-codes-style-options-and-why-it-matters/
