1. Can I play golf wearing jeans?

According to the regulations of major Golf organizations such as R&A, USGA, JPGA, etc. Players aren't allowed to wear jeans on the field. It is for several reasons as follows:  

  • Non-compliant with golf rules and culture: Golf is a sport that emphasizes elegance and courtesy. Therefore, large golf organizations as well as many golf courses define jeans as unacceptable golf wear on the field.
  • Jeans have a tight design, are not airy and have little elasticity: This prevents players from doing swing moves or moving on the field. Therefore, specialized golf pants, which are usually made of elastic, airy material, help players comfortably and freely exercise.
  • Jeans don't have good water resistance: When you're wearing rain or dew, it's easy to get wet, making it very difficult to play golf. And specialized golf pants often use materials that are waterproof and dry quickly, creating comfort in all weather conditions.

2. What are the rules for golf pants on the field?

  • Do not wear jeans or raw material pants (Due to tight design, less elastic material)
  • No Jogger pants, leggings (Because the design does not conform to the standard of golf wear)
  • Pants should have a belt and a belt.
  • If you wear shorts, you can't be more than 15 cm above your knees.

3. What should the golfer wear on the field?
