Polos

Polo shirts are the traditional attire for golfers, worn by amateurs and professionals alike. They keep you cool in the summer, and can be worn in colder conditions along with outerwear. The right material, fit and style will ensure you stay comfortable, have enough mobility to swing a golf club, and look stylish both on the golf course and in the clubhouse.

What to consider

Polo shirts consist of a collar, button placket, and short sleeves. It's paramount to find the right size and fit. Select one which doesn’t hinder movement or flexibility and that sits well on the shoulders. If it’s too tight or baggy it can hinder your game, so know the size you require.

Pure cotton shirts are very popular and practical, as they have good breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Cotton also has a soft feel and texture for added comfort.

Polyester is another practical and popular fabric as it's also breathable with moisture-wicking qualities and generally looks sleek and stylish with a soft feel. Some cotton and polyester shirts use a percentage of elastane or spandex for additional stretch and freedom of movement.

Typically, shirts will only stretch in two directions according to the grain, but many modern designs allow for a four-way stretch for greater freedom of movement and increased comfort.

Moisture-wicking is another important aspect of polo shirt design. This refers to a fabric's ability to draw sweat and moisture away from the body and move it to the outside of the fabric where it will then evaporate, resulting in a cool and dry experience.

Many modern polo shirts offer protection against UV rays and have a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating which ranges from good to excellent.

Budget is another consideration, but good quality polo shirts can range from highly affordable to expensive, so there are good options to suit all budgets. Then, pick the style you want. From classic plain to various colours and patterns, there is no shortage of designs to choose from.
