More than a few players have been seen in Bermuda shorts this summer on golf courses all over Spain. With the heat, comfort often takes precedence over elegance. But what if we told you that you can maintain both and also adopt a signature look on the greens of Costa del Sol? Bermuda shorts are on the rise in golf and we’ll tell you why.
Comfort & Style for All Ages
Bermuda shorts are a comfortable, simple and lightweight garment, ideal for summer. Among golfers of all ages, its use is growing due to its practicality and social acceptance. Although there may still be some who think that shorts in general and Bermuda shorts in particular are unacceptable in certain environments, this isn’t the case for everyone; just tell that to the players who already wear them daily on courses all over the province of Malaga.
Bermuda shorts bring style beyond the lightness they provide. The wide variety of models and brands on the market today have made them an essential piece for both male and female golfers. Since the European Tour approved the measure allowing professionals to wear Bermuda shorts on training days prior to the tournament in 2016, they have become popular among golfers of different ages, not only among the youngest.
Maximum Swing Flexibility Without Losing Class
In addition to being a comfortable and cool garment for summer tournaments, golf shorts are also a great technical ally. Not in the literal sense, of course, but in a figurative sense if we take into account that their comfort, elasticity and flexibility provides the golfer with an advantage on their backswing.
Golf is a technical sport that requires concentration during the swing and a good command of body movements. The latter can make the difference between an elite golfer and an amateur and can also make the difference in a competition. That's why the comfort of your clothing is so important when you're hitting; if you don't want to lose class during practice, training, games with friends or tournaments, get yourself a pair of shorts and experience the lightness during every game.
Feel the Freedom: combine them in a tailor-made outfit
One of the best tips for summer golf clothing is to mix and match shorts with other equally comfortable and stylish garments. Polo shirts, for example, go perfectly with classic long trousers (which have been the only option for more traditional golfers) and Bermuda shorts. And just as polo shirts can be made in different fabrics, so can this summer garment.
Players like Matthew Fitzpatrick, Webster, Willet or Rory McIlroy (as well as Miguel Ángel Jiménez from Málaga) frequently wear Bermuda shorts on training days because they understand that, just like in other sports, golf clothing for men is constantly evolving. Golf etiquette, after all, is compatible with wellbeing.
So now you know: if you're enjoying a well-deserved golf holiday on the Costa del Sol, don't give in to the heatwave and make the most of the more than 70 courses in the province with a good pair of Bermuda shorts.
