Amateurs might look to stand out in their golf apparel

Published: 15 April 2011

A number of amateurs might be looking to sharpen up their golf apparel, as well as their technique, in order to make themselves stand out from other players on the course for all the right reasons.

Having an individual look is not something that everyone desires - with classic styles remaining popular - but for others it is an option worth considering.

Those who like to make a statement might take a little encouragement from the comments of golfing style expert Sean Hotchkiss, writing for the KhakiCrusader, who has praised Ryo Ishikawa for his appearance.

The writer noted the Japanese player is successfully incorporating Western elements into his golf clothing and added that some of his choices are likely to receive positive attention from fashion experts beyond the sport.

Mike McAllister, writing for PGATour.com, recently commented that some golfers - such as Ryan Moore and Ian Poulter - have turned their backs on the more traditional metal spiked shoes in favour of more modern alternatives.
