Confucius’ ancient wisdom echoes in modern China
By Andrew Higgins The Washington Post QUFU, China—Zhong Yong, a wealthy metals trader from the far west of China, recently took a long weekend off work, boarded a four-hour flight across the country and then drove for two hours. His mission: to dress up in a long black robe with crimson trim and tap his head on the ground in front of a wooden statue of Confucius.
Is it going too far to suggest that the modern golfer's dress is almost as important as their game? The pressure for skill improvement is high, but equal demands are being made that golfers look the part as they play it.
Research has resulted in top brands delivering golf wear combining style and performance. Naturally,the correct fit of clothing and features designed into it can support lowering your par.
However, the boost to self confidence and self assertion made by finding the right design should not be undervalued.
Style can amplify your sense of self and foster the competitive urge to improve and refine which drives all great golfers. When searching for the special set from head to toe keep in mind comfort, performance and style.
Golf caps, hats and visors are essential if you wish to keep the weather from affecting your performance. The Titleist Tour is an excellent adjustable cap. In rain the Callaway waterproof bucket hat will protect you. If you need a visor, the Callaway Golf Intake is a good choice.
Gloves will save your hands from the rigours of the competitive game while providing extra grip. Take a look at the new Nike Tech Xtreme III Cabretta leather gloves. A serious contender for the top of the range title.
A great waterproof jacket will keep the elements from marring your game. Try a lightweight Footjoy Dryjoy on for size.
If you want to feel comfortable in the heat then the Nike Golf Dri-Fit Tech Polo range offers supreme cooling performance and offers a wide choice of colour and design. Complementing them with a pair of Nike Golf Dri-Fit trousers makes a formidable style match.
To maintain the spring in your step it is important to choose the right pair of golf socks. Footjoy's ProDry Extreme range is a sound option.
Don't keep your feet on the ground when choosing your golf shoe. Find the unique pair that offers both performance and design and ensures you step in style. The 2010 Footjoy line is magnificent.
