HOW TO PLAY GOLF

Learn how to get started in golf with Golf 5.

People are turning their attention outside, and liberating outdoor sports are attracting attention these days. Many people are taking up golf for the first time. In the midst of all this, "Golf 5 for beginners only" was opened at Shinjuku Flags at the end of August, creating an environment where even beginners can easily start playing golf. In this issue, we welcome Yuuki Mihara, a TV personality with seven years of golf experience, as our navigator, and he takes us on a tour of the store with "that guy" who walks on two legs and says he has recently become interested in golf. We also asked Mr. "Golf5" to answer some questions that beginners may not be able to ask themselves.

Q.5 How do you enjoy golf fashion?

Mr. Mihara picked up this men's fall coordinate. cap ¥4,389, vest ¥13,200, pants ¥13,200.

. I've got the equipment questions answered, but what I'm wondering is what to wear. Golf courses have a dress code, right?

Golf 5:Most golf courses have a dress code for going and coming attire, apart from when playing.Jackets and collared shirts are the norm in the clubhouse.In,Wear slacks or chinos and leather shoes for men , heels or pumps for women. is required. However, regulations differ from golf course to golf course, so it is a good idea to check the dress code of the golf course on the Internet beforehand.

Mihara:There is a dress code, but there is no need to be so formal about it. On the contrary, if you like fashion, choosing the right clothes can be one of the best parts of golf. I think it is nice to see men in jackets and pants on their way to and from the course, and many of them are very fashionable.

Some jackets are also sold for golf, but in the clubhouse I wear blazers and casual jackets that I bought as everyday wear. Knit vests are another item of clothing that I often use. There are few opportunities to enjoy traditional coordination in town, and I rather love to think about fashion on the golf course.

What should I wear when I play?

Golf 5:When you go out on the course, you change from your jacket style to the clothes you will be playing in .There is a dress code here as well,Collared shirt, hat, full-length pants , and golf shoes are the basic requirements.. but some people play in shorts or mini-skirts in the summer.

There is a range of wear as thermoregulation is also important,In winter, you can wear a turtleneck, knit vest, windbreaker for warmth, or down vest.Compared to clothes for the clubhouse, there is more freedom when playing, and everyone is very individualistic.

Mihara:Flamboyant colors and mini-skirts that would take courage on the street are normal on the golf course! If anything, I enjoy the feeling of being more fashionable.

I think it's true that fashion can only be done in the golf scene, and it is certainly attractive.

The clothes in the store are not so different in design from everyday wear. They are all stylish.

Golf 5:In the past, golf had the image of being a hobby for old men, but perhaps because more and more young people are starting out, golf wear has become more diverse, and many designs are more similar to everyday wear.

Mihara:Compared to seven years ago when I started, the number of brands has increased and fashion sensitivity seems to have improved. Also, golf shoes like sneakers are now the norm, so the range of coordination has expanded.

Mihara:While casual clothes are fine for playing as long as they are comfortable to move in, golf wear is sold only for golf and is functional, with pockets for easy swinging and for storing balls and tees. We encourage beginners to try out golf wear.
