Golf Skirts

They're similar but not exactly the same. Both are typically made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester blends to keep you cool and comfortable during activity. Both tend to be on the shorter side to allow for freedom of movement. However, tennis requires a lot more running, jumping and stretching than golf. So tennis skirts are designed with more flexibility in mind. Golf swings don't require that same kind of flexibility, so golf skirts can have a straighter silhouette. They prioritise a more classic, slightly longer style that meets course dress code requirements.

Yes, with a couple of caveats. Many golf courses have dress codes that require a minimum skirt length. Tennis skirts tend to be shorter than golf skirts. In this case, a golf skort (skirt with built-in shorts) would be a better option. Also, while tennis skirts allow for a good range of motion, they might not provide as much coverage or freedom of movement as a golf skirt designed specifically for the golf swing.

The LPGA, the governing body for professional women's golf, uses the term "appropriate golf length" in their dress code. While not a specific measurement, it means the skirt should be long enough to avoid revealing your undergarments during any swing or movement. A golf skirt that falls just above the knee is generally fine. This length provides enough coverage for bending over comfortably and adheres to a modest look on the course. It's always best to check the dress code of the course where you'll be playing beforehand to avoid surprises.
