The Golf Boyfriend: clothes and clubs that both look right
Golf is the one hobby where the clothes and the equipment are equally scrutinised, and where buying the wrong thing is very visible. The good news: both problems have conservative answers.
On clothing, classic country-club colours and a proper collar. On equipment, get him fitted before you buy anything with a shaft in it — shaft and lie angle change more than the model does, and no gift certificate has ever been resented.

Golf Style FAQ
What is the best golf gift for a boyfriend?
A stand bag or a putter, because neither depends on a club fitting. Irons and drivers are a better gift as a fitting appointment plus the model he chooses — buying blind is how golf clubs end up in a garage.
What should a man wear to a country club?
A collared shirt, tailored shorts or trousers, a belt and golf shoes without visible logos. Most clubs still ban denim and untucked shirts — check before you arrive rather than after.
Are game-improvement irons embarrassing?
No, and the good ones no longer look it. The Titleist T350 is hollow-bodied and forgiving but stays compact at address, which is the whole trick.
