But what is wrong with a tracksuit, t-shirt or similar?
In most other sports, you basically wear what lets you perform best, not what someone else deems to look good. Why does golf restrict this freedom?
I understand motorsport may mandate leathers or fireproofs for the participants own safety.
I understand weightlifting restricts elbow coverings, so judges can see if the weight is pressed out.
I understand rugby limits stud dimensions for other players safety.
I understand swimming restricts "sharkskin" suits because they are deemed too performance enhancing.
Why does golf restrict the wearing of tracksuits or Tshirts, apart from the fact some people think it does not look very smart.
You can wear trainers and a tracksuit playing golf if you wish - but just as in other sports you won’t be able to do it all the time and at every club.
I believe you perform better in specifically designed golf shoes don’t you reckon ? Shoes that have the right amount of grip and comfort- just like in tennis or cricket or football or indeed any other sport that requires you to wear shoes/boots etc
And all clothing has been designed specifically for golf - just the same as football shirts and shorts and rugby tops etc. People that play regular sports it appears to me will play that sport wearing the clothing and footwear designed to be used when playing that sport.
