How to dress like a golfer

Its official – golfers are the dandiest athletes on the planet. And it’s not on the links I’m talking about but I was thoroughly impressed on the sartorial elegance of both Ryder Cup teams at the opening ceremony at Celtic Manor yesterday. Even their WAGS were in on the act, they looked classy and elegant - the American women in black trousers and stylish red macs and the European’s all in white, with royal blue scarves. Football WAGS take note no cleavage, ultra tight, mini-skirted outfits or tracksuits with UGG boots.

Overall both men’s teams looked fairly presidential in their subtle pin striped suits and blue ties. The highlights for me were the American cutaway collars - very accommodating for their Windsor knots, dimples in the ties, the three-point fold pocket handkerchiefs, and yes, brown shoes worn with a charcoal grey suits – pretty nifty. Gentlemen, remember to keep the suit buttoned at all times when standing or walking. And the rule is always the top, sometimes the middle, NEVER the bottom. Now, if only Miguel Angel Jimenez can get a haircut.

C’mon Europe!
