| and as times have moved on golf clubs have | | | | who are having a few beers while seeing who can |
| relaxed their strict rules to allow shorts socks and | | | | hit the ball the furthest and having a very relaxing |
| even collarless shirts and this is because of golf | | | | time. A suggestion is that when at the range |
| fashions changing as the Pro's become models on | | | | dress in comfortable clothing and wear golf shoes |
| the fairways and the keen golfers also want to | | | | so you feel as you would when on the course as |
| look good when swinging the club. | | | | this will help you to practise with the right feelings |
