Golf for Short Men: Clubs, Clothes and Strategy
One Thing I Would Recommend
Golfers are obsessed with clubs, and often fall victim to purchasing products straight off the shelves based on marketing claims.
I’ve done extensive research into how golf clubs actually work, and I would recommend to any of you who are either beginners or experienced golfers to make sure you are custom fit for clubs.
Manufacturers make equipment based on neutral specifications, which can leave shorter golfers with clubs that are not suited for your size or swing. Golf is already a challenging game, and having the wrong setup will make it even harder.
So if you can, I highly recommend working with a knowledgeable club fitter who can make sure you’ve got the right stuff for the course.
Now let’s discuss how you can look good on the course…
Brands that Will Make You Look Sharp
If you watch pro golf, you’ve probably noticed that modern day golfers are looking pretty sharp.
The golf course and clubhouse have always have always demanded a certain level of dress, but performance fabric and modern, trim silhouettes have helped take things to a new level.
Here are some of the top brands for golfers who want a solid blend of functionality and style.
Bonobos Golf
Many of you might be familiar with Bonobos already; they happen to have a great line of golf apparel. Where they particularly shine is pant sizing. Most golf companies are not making pants that come close to fitting guys 5’8? and below. You’re left with baggy, ill-fitting designs that make you look even shorter.
With Bonobos you get great styles and quality materials, but more importantly tons of sizing options. Most of their pants come in waist sizes as small as 28, and they don’t skip any numbers.
For me, this is perfect since I run between a 30 and 31 and often I get left with pants that are either too tight or baggy. Additionally, they offer upwards of four fits for each design which include tailored, slim, athletic, and straight cuts.
