Gone are the days of men’s golf polos looking, well, golf-y. You know that loud, hard-collar look. Most golf shirts you see on the course today you’ll also find men wearing off-course, to run errands, grab a meal or even to work on casual Fridays.

They’re collectively known as performance apparel. That is, they’re made of materials that not only look nice and wash well, but they’re ventilated to keep you cool inside on warm days, and treated with moisture-wicking materials that prevent you from perspiring. Plus, their softness is the perfect antidote to 18 rough holes.

Look closely and you’ll see subtle graphics enveloping adidas Golf’s Climacool Energy Dot Print polo ($75). Stretch-bonded shoulder seams are flanked by mesh side panels for ventilation, plus a “puremotion” stretch that ensures freedom of movement during the golf swing. Contrasting colors provide visual pop. The shirt is made of 94 percent polyester/6 percent Elastane, while the side panel is all mesh.

moisture-wicking stretch fibers — for total comfort and cool performance. It’s made of 50 percent

cotton/45 percent polyester/5 percent spandex, and is completely machine-washable. The Oceanside-based brand exemplifies Southern California. Its founder is John Ashworth, a golf industry veteran whose original eponymous apparel brand has remained wildly popular with golfers for some three decades.
