I am not running a golf apparel company. If I was, I would imagine I would hope to eventually grow to a place where I could afford to invest in a solid partnership with a professional golfer on the PGA tour. Initially, I might settle for just about anyone with a tour card. Someone that would not only increase exposure… Read more →
Surprisingly enough, we were able to see some actual golf apparel at the 2013 Open Championship, not just round after round of golfers in rain gear. Seems like every week of the PGA tour, rain delays abound. The one week we expect daily rain showers, and they are absent. Excellent. Good thing no one skipped the whole “what to wear”… Read more →
Walk into any golf retailer, visit your local club or watch coverage of the PGA Tour. A few key fashion trends really stand out for the 2013 Spring/Summer golf season. As seen in the July Issue of Avid Golfer Magazine’s cover story The Hot List, below is Fairway Thread’s take on what is hot in golf apparel this summer. … Read more →
Anyone catch the weather-delayed final round of the Greenbrier Classic Sunday? Did you happen to notice the popping yellow Puma Golf shirt Jonas Blixt was wearing? Blixt has often been spotted in taxi cab yellow the past couple of years. Thus, this week’s “Wear This Not That” was inspired by the Greenbrier Classic champion. Yellow is a fun choice to liven up your stack of golf polos, so… Read more →
If you think golf is expensive, you should try shopping for golf apparel! Whereas, I have no problem forking over $75 for a finely crafted Alial Fital polo that I can wear off the course, I would be hard-pressed to want to spend that much on outerwear for a weekend round of 18. Most golf apparel separates do, however, range in… Read more →
Week in and week out, the PGA Tour starts to show a lot of similarities. That may sound crazy, as tournaments are at new locations each week and for the past few years there has been much parody in golf. However, it is true in some ways, and not just for the given fact that mother nature is going to… Read more →
It’s US Open week and Fourth of July is a month away. Let’s dress like a patriot shall we? I made a trip to the local Golfsmith to uncover a few appropriate looks for the occasion. Try being a female in the men’s apparel section of a golf retailer. Yeah…the guys working thought I was crazy, but then again, they… Read more →
Here’s the deal, I just really don’t like orange. At least I try not to like it. I am not supposed to like orange, as a Sooner. (The whole anti-OSU, anti-Texas thing) However, orange is one of the best color choices for golf course style. It adds a bright, vibrant color that pops on the fairway. It is a fantastic… Read more →
Some of you may have already read this post. I wrote it a couple of months ago as a guest appearance on a friend’s blog. However, I received a lot of great feedback on it so I decided to share it on Fairway Threads, as well. Seems people like it when you make fun of golfers. All in good fun…enjoy!… Read more →
To begin, I am not a huge fan of plaid pants/shorts. I tend to side with Happy Gilmore on this one. Goofy pants have given golf a reputation for bad style. However, plaid is an element of traditional golf apparel, and can be worn successfully if chosen well. In the image above, I am comparing overall color palette not design. … Read more →
