Default T-shirt and shorts?
Why can't we wear T-shirt and shorts when playing golf?

T-shirts and shorts will allow all golfers to move freely with their body. If Golf is a sport, then the player should wear the same outfit like any other sports. I don't think anyone can move their body freely with a Polo and a pair of pants, especially under humid condition.

The collar makes someone less free of movement? Because outside of that, golf shirts are available in many different materials and cuts, so frankly the only difference would be the collar and I am not sure how that constricts.

JB, not just the collar. The whole polo material kind of restrict my body movement. And I got Nike TW Polo.

I just feel I can move freely with a t-shirt.

I own golf shirts that I believe are better material for "humid" than that of a baseball player's uniform. And last time I checked, the Yankees weren't sporting "jorts" on the diamond. I am in full support of the "dress code" for professional golf, well...because they are professionals and I like them to look that way.

Maybe you should look into going up a size. I buy my golf shirts a little "big" so I feel that "free" feelin' you speak of.

I'm not even sure how to say this.... but I'm talking about weekend golfers... golfers who wants to have fun on the course.

Yeah my Polo is one size bigger. Still I don't like wearing them during Golf.

Then you must experiment with other polos and better fits. Because frankly the only difference in some are the collars. For the record, up until the newest TW lines, the TW Nike line was filled with heavy cotton in a blend that made it one of my least favorite shirt lines available. Hard to say that "golf shirts are restrictive" without trying many lines. I think you will find that with the proper fit and materials, they will be some of the most comfortable shirts you own.

Where are you playing that won't allow shorts? (I'm not trying to come across mean with my posts)

As far as collars...I go with JB. I really don't think a collar makes one single difference in the equation.

I personally love the polo look on the course - it makes me feel great that I look great, as barry above said. Not to sound like a broken record, but the materials that golf shirts/polos are made with now are DEFINITELY not restricting of any movement, and wick moisture better than a t shirt could.

I need to wear a polo, and it has to be tucked in. If Im my shirt is freely moving as much as I am I get all jacked up because I feel things twist against my body.

I like to have fun on the course and I wear polo shirts. I'd sweat through a tshirt during the summer months. Also, most courses here require a collared shirt.

I tend to like a good polo. It doesn't have to be the most expensive brand, but the brand that feels good to you. I suggest going to a big golf store like PGA superstore, golf galaxy or golf smith. They would have a ton of options to browse through.

I always wear pants and never feel restricted. I also agree with Thainer, I have to be tucked in too.

I like to think that pants or nice shorts and a polo are the uniform for golf. I personally think it looks good and is consistent with the niceties of the game. Just my two cents...

Simple answer to being what you think is constricted whilst swinging is get a better fit of shirt or simply a larger size. What you must remember is that t-shirts, by their very nature no matter if you spend $10 or $80 on it, they are not in anyway fitted to your shape or size as they are made to be functional rather than pretty and good fitting.

At my course, they do allow T-shirts. I choose to wear a golf shirt because the material is more comfortable than a T-shirt. The new stuff wicks away moisture better, and doesn't stick to my body like a plain T-shirt does. I just make sure they fit me well.

I live in T shirts as they are very comfortable, and shorts most of the year. That said, I feel more comfortable in a polo shirt (especially when it is hot and muggy out) and dress shorts (Bermudas, Dockers, etc) while playing golf. Also, some courses around here allow jeans also...............not comfortable playing in them either, even though outside of golf, if I am not in shorts I am in jeans.

It's all about the tradition to me. That's just how it's been done for a while. Think tennis. Up until recently all the guys wore collared shirts and not gym shorts. I think that's how it should be. I like pants and a golf shirt on the course. I just feel like that's how things should be.

If the course allows it, go nuts. My course allows just about anything, and I kinda like the laid back atmosphere.

I want to get some nice, moisture wicking shirts similar to what Ben Hogan wore.
