Must-pack picks from your favourite golf brands

Whether you enjoy the occasional weekend on the green near home, or prefer jetting to hit the links around the globe, the perfect golf game is just as much about the most trusted accessories as the numbers on the scorecard.

So we asked you to vote for your favourite brands when it comes to golf gear. Here, we highlight the one that scored a hole in one, along with a few winning picks.

No matter how many holes you’re playing, a classic polo never goes out of style—and this Nike Dri-Fit polo doesn’t just look the part, it also acts it. Made of 100 percent recycled polyester fibres sourced from plastic bottles, the shirt—available in nine shades from subtle greys to bright green—is breathable and moisture-wicking to keep you focused on your game.

It’s the best of both worlds: the sleek look of a simple golf skirt in the front with the comfort of easy-fit shorts in the back. Made of the brand’s trademark moisture-wicking material, the skort comes in six sizes and two shades, soft lavender and deep navy. Also hidden in its design are plenty of mesh pockets to stash tees, scorecards, and other game essentials.

Golf shoes have come a long way, and this just might be one of the most innovative yet. Featuring spikeless traction and an energy-boosting sole, the CodeChaos 22 are available in four eye-catching colours in sizes from 7 to 13—and have the added feel-good quality of an upper made from at least 50 percent recycled materials.

Lock your focus in with this wide-brim visor that’s pre-curved so that it fits comfortably right away. Produced with at least 60 percent recycled materials, this headwear essential also absorbs moisture, so no one can see you sweat.

There’s so much more to these golf pants than meets the eye. With the look of basic khakis, they’re actually made of lightweight four-way stretch twill that’s made for movability so that nothing gets in the way of your swing. An added layer of UA’s Storm technology keeps them water resistant, while the stretch waistband takes the pressure of the game.

Add a white-glove touch to your swing. This adjustable single glove is made of leather, nylon, and polyester—with a soft cabretta leather palm—to ensure comfort and grip. The material locks out heat so that there are no sweaty palms on the green.

Weighing in at less than three kilograms, this stand bag has a six-way velour top measuring 9.5 by 11 inches, as well as five pockets, including ones for balls, tees, and two other hardshell ones for other accessories.

After a day on the links, there’s no need to mix your trodden soles with your other belongings. This TaylorMade zipper bag, designed just for shoes, keeps your them protected—and free from mingling with your other golf gear. An added front zipper allows for extra essentials, perhaps those tried-and-true socks.

For those who love travelling to their favourite courses, make the trip from the plane to Hole No. 1 a breeze with this carry-on bag from Titleist (yes, they make more than clubs and balls). With four wheels that spin 360 degrees, the slim 20-by-14-by-10-inch suitcase (that means it meets international carryon standards too) has interior organisation pockets, as well as a moulded handle that can keep up with you.

There’s no shady business under this golf umbrella that provides nearly two metres of coverage. With a double canopy design and logo flanking both sides, it weighs just over two pounds, yet is strong enough to fend off all the elements.
