Our favourite golf polos to keep you looking and feeling cool this summer
Golf apparel has never looked better. While the beauty of the game has stayed the same, fashions have experienced a reinvention that marries function with style.
The traditional players uniform of heavy knit polo shirts, chinos and clunky golf shoes are a thing of the past, in favour of attire that’s both comfortable and helps you keep cool in warmer temperatures.
