While golf has been around for a very long time, starting in Scotland, the fashion of golf for players has evolved – from clothing to shoes.
The history of golf clothing and accessories is sketchy but records show Woolrich Co. was the first to specialize in outdoor clothing. Woolrich, who became known for hunting coats, blankets and uniforms came up with the ‘golf pants’ in the early 1920s. Some golfers even took to wearing the short, distinctive trousers called knickers (the name comes from a fictitious Dutch family, the Knickerbockers). This style of loose breeches became popular before the 1900s.
In 1904 Thomas Burberry of London introduced some improvements into the women’s golf clothing sold in his store. This included the Free-stroke Coat, which had special sleeves that moved freely with the golfer’s arms. He also brought back the raisable skirt, which had been popular decades earlier with croquet players. Through the use of a drawstring, the skirt could be raised up to eight inches or so above the ground.
In the first decades of the 20th century, the standard golfing costume was a blouse, jacket and skirt. Starting around 1909, women began wearing a knit cardigan sweater instead of the jacket. Also, knit jersey was introduced as a fabric choice for the golf skirt and blouse. Other improvements were pleated skirts and pleats in the back of the blouse.
By the 1920s, the sweater and pleated skirt continued to be a popular choice for women golfers. Golf dresses were rather plain, with a straight or a pleated skirt. To add some flair, women often wore patterned stockings, and rubber soled golf shoes. Starting around 1921, women golfers were sometimes pictured in knickers, but that would not have been allowed at many country clubs.
The one-piece golf dress was introduced in the mid 1920. New York’s Best & Co. sold a dress they called the “Shirtmaker.” This one-piece frock was perfect for golf and other active sports, and was so popular that it was widely copied and became the most popular golf dress style for the next 30 years.
Throughout the 1930s and 40s, golf dresses pretty much followed fashionable lines. Unlike tennis, where the skirt became very short, while golf dresses retained their length. Through the 1950s and into the early 60s, most women golfers wore a blouse and skirt often topped with a cashmere sweater, or a cotton one piece shirt dress. Increasingly, it was acceptable for a woman to wear a sleeveless blouse and even Bermuda shorts on the golf course.
Men’s golf clothing evolved as well from the knickers and argyle socks to the polo shirt and Bermuda shorts. Today many golf courses have a specific dress code. Golfers should inquire about dress codes at golf courses they intend to play at. Generally, municipal golf courses do not have dress codes but many private courses require that those wishing to golf wear a collared shirt and Dockers-style shorts. Additionally, most golf courses do not allow metal spikes on golf shoes.
Speaking of golf shoes, how did they come about? Some credit the Duke of Windsor with making a particular style of shoe popular for the game of golf. This design was commonly known as the reverse calf or suede shoe. It wasn’t long before the well-dressed golfer was seen wearing the saddle shoe – the one that often has a different color band on the instep.
One thing that hasn’t changed in golfing fashion and that is the desire for comfort. With companies designing more and more sophisticated fabrics, golfers, both men and women, won’t have to sacrifice style for comfort as both are being blended nicely together. Once the outfit is pieced together, the golfer can then focus on what is really important – the game.
Miami Kawasaki Jet Ski or PWC enjoy, Good Times on water
There are a lot of sitting in the sand on a Fort Lauderdale or Miami beaches to be said, and watched the waves while enjoying as much sun as possible. But if you get bored when you work on your tan, you’ve probably noticed that many were people with tons of fun on a Kawasaki Jet Ski.

If one were to Google “lightning rod” a picture of conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh might appear. In 2003, Limbaugh may have made himself millions of enemies in the African American community by stating on ESPN that Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated and playing largely because the media wanted to see a Black quarterback succeed. He was forced to resign his post as an NFL commentator on that network. Now, he may become the employer to dozens of Black football players if he follows through on a stated interest to purchase the St. Louis Rams.
Limbaugh, 58, has made a handsome living by issuing polarizing political statements from his perch as a conservative commentator and radio talk show host. He has a longstanding interest in sports, starting during his days as a Pittsburgh radio personality and Steelers fan in the 1970s, to his several years of employment in the early 1980s as promotions director for the Kansas City Royals baseball team. Now, he is said to be considering investing some of his wealth into the purchase of an NFL franchise.
In a statement released Oct. 8, Limbaugh said he’s partnering with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams. Limbaugh didn’t go into details, but said he and Checketts “have made a bid to buy the Rams and are continuing the process.”
It’s unclear whether Limbaugh and Checketts will try to buy the team outright or purchase a majority or minority stake in it. Georgia Frontiere’s children own a 60 percent stake in the team, and billionaire Stan Kroenke owns a 40 percent stake.
Some Black football players find this alarming. Mathias Kiwanuka of the New York Giants has said that he would never play for a team owned by Limbaugh, even the Rams who are coached by Kiwanuka’s former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnulolo.
The New York Jets Bart Scott told the New York Daily News that he agrees with Kiwanuka. Scott says Black football players remember what Limbaugh said, and adds that the NFL would be wise not to allow the nationally syndicated host into the league. “It’s an oxymoron that he criticized Donovan McNabb,” Scott said. “A lot of us took it as more of a racial-type thing. I can only imagine how his players would feel. I know I wouldn’t want to play for him. He’s a jerk. He’s an —. What he said (about McNabb) was inappropriate and insensitive, totally off-base. He could offer me whatever he wanted, I wouldn’t play for him. … I wouldn’t play for Rush Limbaugh. My principles are greater and I can’t be bought.”
The anti-Limbaugh movement extends beyond Kiwanuka and Scott. The NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, who is Black, has spoken to NFL commissioner in opposition to Limbaugh’s bid to buy the Rams. In an email to the union’s executive committee Smith wrote, “I’ve spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred.” Later, Smith expanded on his feelings to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen. This communication is more about what we stand for than the reality of our role in any franchise sale. While it’s true the subject matter was related [to Limbaugh's bid], I do understand that the NFL does not present ownership bids to me or the NFLPA. I encourage our players to express their views.”
According to Mortensen, at least seven NFL players have spoken out against Limbaugh’s proposed purchase of the Rams. Concerns of Black football players aside, American principles of free speech and capitalism (basically the ability to buy what you can afford) are also in play here. It will be interesting to see how Goodell and the NFL owners walk this public relations and possibly legal tightrope. Three quarters of the leagues 32 owners would have to approve the sale.
