A few summers ago while relaxing over a round of beers at the 19th hole of his local club, a golfer named Bill Anderson lamented about the one-dimensional look of golf clothing ( custom men’s shirts ) and the fact that nothing in the market truly expressed who he was. After several rounds he decided on the spot that he alone could change the “traditional” golf apparel industry and with that, Tattoo Golf (www.tattoogolf.com was born!
The game of golf has indeedly changed over the curriculum of the last 150 years however,several factors of this insane game still stubbornly unchanged. Obviously the game is still played over 18 long, usually frustrating holes sculpted from the earth’s terrain, lined with trees & ponds, bunkers, streams & a multitude of other hazards designed to drive the average golfer to drink. Beyond that though, nothing’s quite the same as it was when old Tom Morris was bashing it around St. Andrews.
Technology is one of the most notable changes in the game as we’ve gone from mashies and niblick’s to 460cc metal wood monsters and precision irons costing over ,000 a set. Personal Exercise is another important change in recent years thanks to Tiger Woods. With exception of crowd favorite John Daly, most golfers at the professional level follow some form of workout routine to keep fit and help stay injury free – and to try to at least stay somewhat competitive with Tiger.
Actually one of the most drastic ( Tailored shirts ) changes is that of the golfer himself. Only a few decades ago, golf is a sport for white men older, and therefore to each other, the game has been generalized as uncool.Today, golf is very cool and open with Tiger for the game to help players of all ages and colors have.
As a result,why’s it taking so long for golf wear to transform?? Of course you needn’t wear a tie any longer however most golf curriculums indeed have strict dress codes demanding members to weaer slacks slacks (simply the word slacks sounds old fashioned!), shirts ( custom shirts ) with collars, appropriate footwear & in extreme cases, jackets in the club house. If your club is Augusta National then this probably makes perfect sense but if you play at the muni course in Anytown USA then this more than likely makes absolutely no sense.
