Every golfer has their ‘ol reliable club. The same goes for their choice of clothing
While seasoned golfers know every custom of the sport down to a tee, it might be tough for the uninitiated to pick up. Knowing how to play is one thing, but golf has a whole culture to be learned. For instance, it’s a social sport best played with your closest friends or potential business partners—and where there’s socialising, it’s important to look your best. In this article, Tatler lists five golf clothing brands that elevate your style.
