I was perusing one of those 'Golfing for Women' magazines the other day and started wondering where the women live, who wear the golf attire modeled in women's golfing magazines? I've never seen women, not even the professionals, who would dress in such expensive and outrageous clothing.

It's so simple to spend tons of money kitting yourself out for the sport of golf. Think about hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windbreakers and shoes, and it is obvious that the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at cheap online sales. Then you have to factor in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play a round of golf really quite frequently to keep the "CPU" (cost per use) down to a tolerable level.

One glossy advertisement showed a beautiful young 'golfing lady' in really tiny shorts (like that's admissible on golf courses!) that cost nearly $300, a golf shirt at almost $600, a jacket by Ralph Lauren at almost $200 and two-toned Utuser shoes costing $400 plus.

That totals just about $1,500! I know that it would be impossible for me to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near a normal limit in my entire golfing life! Please don't misunderstand me - I do love clothes and I do really, really love shoes, but I could never afford, nor even want, golf shoes or pants that cost as much as most people's weekly wages.

Granted, you need comfortable golfing shoes that don't look like a pair of clogs, but really, you can buy less expensive and still fantastic golf shoes.

I have several very stylish golf outfits, although none of them are famous brand names. If I totalled up the cost of all of those articles of clothing, it would not come to the price of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I would rather have several nice outfits than one that is priced over-the-top.

If I were to wear a $1,500 set of clothes to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it dirty or sweating in it to play a proper game of golf.
