Wholesalers and online dropshippers
Fashion and Ladies Golf Apparel
I picked up one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ type magazines the other day and got to asking myself where these women actually live, who wear the golf apparel shown in women’s golfing magazines? I have never seen women, not even the pros, dressed in such expensive and flamboyant clothing.
It’s easy to spend lots of money fitting yourself out for golf. What with hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windbreakers and shoes, the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at the sales. Then factor in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play very often to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to a reasonable level.
One glossy advert showed a beautiful young ‘golfing lady’ in very tiny shorts (as if that’s permitted on golf courses!) that cost nearly $300, a golf shirt at almost $600, a jacket by Ralph Lauren at almost $200 and two-toned Utuser shoes costing $400 plus.
That comes to about $1,500! I know that I could never hope to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable level in my golfing lifetime! Don’t get me wrong - I love clothes and I really love shoes, but could never afford, nor even want, golf shoes or pants that cost as much as a lot of people’s weekly wages.
Granted, you need comfy golf shoes that don’t look like something your grandmother would have worn, but you can easily find less expensive and still fashionable shoes.
I have several very stylish golfing outfits, although none of them are famous brand names. If I totalled up the cost of all of those articles of clothing, it would not add up to the cost of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I would prefer to have several trendy outfits than one that is priced over-the-top.
If I were to wear a $1,500 outfit to play golf, I would simply be too worried about getting it dirty or sweating in it to play a decent round.
