Getting Started
First I dug through all the new releases this season because my old golf polos looked like faded dishrags. I messaged three golf buddies asking where they shop – two said big sports chains, one swore by a small brand. Grabbed my coffee and laptop to hunt online.
Testing the Fabrics
Ordered six pieces from different brands to compare. When the box arrived, I did the scratch test first. Rubbed each fabric against my skin hard while making breakfast. That cheap polyester one felt like sandpaper – instant return. Held others under the bathroom light to check sheerness. Found two that passed the “no bra visible” rule.
Movement Trials
Wore each outfit to my Thursday golf lesson specifically. Did exaggerated swings by the driving range:
- The pleated skirt rode up terribly during backswings
- One top got all bunched under my armpit
- Stretchy jeggings survived full rotation with no issues
Sweated buckets to test moisture-wicking. Ended up with two tops that didn’t turn swampy.
Final Picks Breakdown
After washing each piece twice, here’s what made the cut:
- UV jacket – passed the car test (left it crumpled in trunk overnight, zero wrinkles)
- Floral skort – pockets deep enough to hold three balls plus phone
- Navy polos – collar stayed stiff through 18 holes
Returned everything else. Waste of $87 in return shipping but worth it.
Wouldn’t buy the belt matching sets again though – looked cute online but screamed “trying too hard” on the course. Final advice: prioritize stretch fabric with hidden sweat guards. Always check pocket functionality before cutting tags.
