LPGA players today set their own styles while wearing comfortable attire for peak performance.
Shorts, skirts, capri pants and long pants all work for women golfers.
It's hard, if not impossible, to pinpoint the best fashions since they are always changing.
Country clubs once enforced dress codes that required women to wear dresses or skirts while on the golf course.
Early LPGA golfers wore street-length skirts and dresses in keeping with golf club regulations.
Bermuda shorts were allowed on some courses in Florida and California in the late 1950's, but most pro golfers were slow to adopt them.
Women golfers today, including LPGA pros, wear shorts or skorts above the knee that offer comfort and freedom of movement in warm weather.
Adding color The LPGA tournaments were first telecast in the 1960's and women golfers took advantage of color TV to add bright colors and patterns to golfing fashions.
Commentators talked about the clothes worn by woman golfers such as Kathy Whitworth who wore sleeveless shirts although they had collars.
(It's assumed collars were important for golf shirts to keep them from looking like T-shirts which were not allowed on golf courses or tournaments.
) In the 1970's, Jan Stephenson, Juli Inkster and Laura Baugh called attention to women's golf fashions wearing coordinated tops with skirts and shorts.
Kerri Webb, Annika Sorrenstam and other top pros have continued to show that women can look stylish in colorful coordinating separates while swinging a club.
Australian Anna Rawson, a former model, wears sleeveless shirts and short skirts.
