Buyer’s guide: Best golf shorts

You’ve got your polo shirt, sunglasses, bucket hat and sun cream… but what about a pair of shorts or two?

You might have forgotten about them, but we haven’t.

Although you may think you’re already covered in the shorts department, we recommend getting a pair of shorts that are specifically designed for playing golf in warm weather.

This includes the moisture-wicking and stretch capabilities that polo shirts also have, which are perfect for giving you the maximum breathing space and mobility for when you’re out on the course on a sunny day.

If you’re after anything else golf gear-related – especially for the summer – check out our buyer’s guides for more information.
