We here at GolfStinks get sent free golf apparel all the time. And most of the time it’s a single item – a new pair of golf shoes, or the latest sport sunglasses. But recently, we received an entire outfit!
And not just any outfit – but truly something you’d see the pros wear – in fact (according the the folks who reached out to us), you’ll see tour pro Webb Simpson sporting this new line of apparel this very week at The Masters! How could I possibly pass up the opportunity to try it on and snap a few photos?
Courtesy of IZOD, we received a hat, shirt and pants so that we can help “bring The Masters tradition and pageantry to the masses.” Seriously, that’s what they told us.
I don’t know about you, but whenever I see someone show up to the course dressed like they’re on the tour, I immediately know they won’t break 100. But we’re always telling golfers to go out and have fun on the course – and if dressing like a pro can help you do that, then I say go for it.
So that being said – Stinky Golfer Greg (AKA me) is sporting an IZOD Stripe Polo (in Haute Red) and IZOD straight fit Schiffli Flag Pants (I honestly love history and have the “Betsy Ross” U.S. flag flying outside my house…and now on my pants too). Should note the belt was received separately, courtesy of our friends at Back9Network.
Retail, the pants and shirt will run you $130 total. That’s probably a bit pricey for the average hack, but I noticed with some sales going on, you can actually get both for around $100. Is it worth it? Well that’s up to you but the quality is certainly there.
I’m wearing this outfit as I type and it’s pretty darn comfortable…I’m willing to bet I’d be pretty comfy out on the course too. Now, the big question is: Would I actually wear this out on the course? Well the shirt for sure – it’s not too loud and very easy on the skin. As for the pants? Let’s just say they will be more of a novelty in my house (especially on the 4th of July) rather than a conversation starter on the course.
It will be interesting to see if Mr. Simpson wears this outfit during The Masters though. If so, I’ll be rooting for him!
If I thought dressing like a pro would improve my handicap I would definitely give it a go lol!
Wow, nice golf outfit…
I wouldn’t have the guts to wear that for our Friday League, but then I buy my golf attire from Michelin’s Sydney Greenstreet collection. Though I do miss Billy Horshel’s octopus pants.
LOL…
