What to Look for in a Pair of Golf Shorts
The golf course is no place to compromise on comfort. Luckily, you don’t have to thanks to those wondrous technical fabrics.
Think about your favorite golf shirt. You’ll find the same materials and qualities in most any pair of shorts: moisture-wicking, four-way stretch, anti-bacterial properties, breathability, sun protection, wrinkle resistance and more. Some golf shorts include extra pockets for accessories and essentials, like scorecards and range finders. Many have waistbands lined with gripper tape to help keep your shirt tucked for a full round.
It’s important to make sure your shorts allow a full range of motion to swivel the lower body, back and through the shot. Anything that restricts your swing is bound to hurt your game.
Golf Shorts Style Options
Pleats are out. Flat fronts are where it’s at. So are eye-catching patterns and vivid colors like “poppy,” “sunny yellow” and “golf green.” Of course, classics like khaki, navy blue and plaid never go out of style. Inseams run from 9” – 10.5”, with taller golfers generally favoring longer shorts.
