Golf for Short Men: Clubs, Clothes and Strategy
Bonobos also have a great line of tops that go all the way down to extra small and offer slim options. Perfect for us!
Electric California
Traditional golf sunglasses make me cringe. They make you look like a cyborg, and if you want to make any kind of fashion statement on the course you probably should steer clear of them.
Luckily I’ve found a few brands that are offering great sunglasses that are appropriate for golf. A couple of tips that you should look for:
- You don’t want a polarized lens – it can affect your depth perception, which is really bad for golf
- The frames should be lightweight, and grip to your head nicely. The last thing you want are sunglasses that move around while you swing, or feel heavy
My favorite brand is Electric California. They are designed by a bunch of west-coast guys who wanted better sunglasses for everything they did outside. Their golf line is fantastic.
Their lens offers you a clear field of vision, protects your eyes, and most importantly their designs are really sharp. These have become my favorite pair for off and on the course.
Bradley Allan
This brand is an example of how smaller, independent companies are making great strides in golf fashion.
They have a great selection of polos, pants, and outerwear that will give you a more distinctive look on the course.
Greyson Clothiers
If you want a more modern look on the course, you should check out Greyson Clothiers. Their fit is great for smaller men; it is one of the few polos I have tried that doesn’t feel baggy. Former number one player in the world, and fellow modest man Luke Donald is one of their ambassadors.
On top of that, they are using a high-quality fabric, and it doesn’t look like your traditional golf clothes.
Jones Sports Company
This is easily one of the coolest brands I have come across. Back in the seventies, they were one of the iconic carry bags in the golf industry. After disappearing for a bit, the company has gone through a complete revival recently.
