 You’re now an official member of none other than Sarasota’s golfing darling, Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club. Yay you!  Your hubby’s decided to take up the game of golf and you’re all about supporting him; but what exactly do you wear to a Country Club?  And what about the fact that you don’t know how to golf.

Well, he’s probably the one that’s going to be golfing; so that part you don’t have to worry about.  But should you decide to take in a few holes with him, you’re going to have to get your golfing apparel up-to-par. 

So first things first.  Stop by our ProShop!  We have an assortment of styles and offer only high-end merchandise that’ll meet any budget.  But as Emily Post™, the-who’s-who-of-anything-having-to-do-with-etiquette, cites in a ‘Golfing Attire’ article that there are definitely some do’s and don’t’s¹; and as a valued  member of our Country Club, we want to ensure that you’re fully prepared and fashion forward.  So here’s a few rules for any golfing fashionista;

Rule #1: No jeans or t-shirts. But of course you already knew that.

Rule #2: As a woman, you can either wear golfing pants, skirts, shorts, or culottes; preferably khaki or cotton; but you can never go wrong with a nice, crisp linen. 

Rule #3: Shorts should be at least Bermuda length²; meaning they’re at least 1’ inch above the knee (cuffed or uncuffed). You do not want to show up in gym shorts and please don’t even think about wearing a pair of daisy dukes.

Rule #4: Wear golf shoes only.  Stop by our ProShop and check out our extensive selection.

Rule #5: And ladies this one is optional but you can never go wrong with a nice golf hat! 

If you have any questions, our professional and courteous staff will be more than happy to assist you.  Give them a call at 941-966-1800 or stop by the next time you come in and dine at the Grille Room.
