Polos are a staple on golf courses. Here are our five favorites.

There are a handful of accepted norms in the fashion world. You don’t show up for an interview in sweatpants. You don’t wear a tuxedo to work every day. And with that in mind, you (usually) don’t go to a golf course without polo.
Polos – a single, versatile piece of clothing – are essential to the golfing experience. They are a function of style, comfort, personality. Often (but not always) collared, these shirts combine performance with fashion and can be worn in all circumstances and even help you fight the weather.
Today, polos have become their own sect in the world of golf apparel. Gone are the days of crisp cotton shirts and bold colors, high performance fabrics, moisture wicking materials and, on more than one occasion, designs you’ve never seen on a golf course.
Check out some of our favorites below.
