Published: 17 June 2011

Individuals taking to the course may want to give plenty of thought to their golf clothing, as what they wear could play an important role in their performances on the fairways.

One aspect players might wish to consider is their footwear, as editor of Men's Fitness magazine Jon Lipsey has noted choosing the correct shoes when playing sports is an important decision.

The industry figure explained a decent pair can reduce the chances of a person getting injured, adding certain shoes are often designed for specific terrains.

Another factor individuals may want to consider is what they sport beneath, adding: "Not wearing the right socks is likely to leave you with painful blisters."

He added sporting socks during the summer is essential, as people's feet could rub against the inside of their shoes when they get sweaty.

His comments come after recent findings from the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists showed 77 per cent of people do not wear the sport shoes specifically designed for their chosen activity.
